Actin filaments (microfilaments) - small fibrils that forms a bundles, sheets or networks in the cytoplasm; for structure, support for microvilli, contractility and movement active transport - ATP-powered pumps combine with substances and move them across the plasma membrane; ATP is used; substances can be move from areas of lower concentration to higher concentration antiporter - carrier protein that moves two different ions of molecules in opposite directions across the plasma membrane ...

Adipocytes - Store energy though triglycerides Apical Surface - Surfaces faces body surface- internally or externally. Apocrine - Separates off. Made in Endoplasmic Reticulum, move to golgi complex and then are released. Basal Surface - Opposite of Apical surface- adheres to basement membrane Basement membrane - Basal lamina and reticular lamina Cardiac tissue - Involuntary, striated, uninucleated. Heart Cartilage - Avascular. Hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage, bone, blood and lymph. Cell...

Cardiovascular System - ♣ Components: Blood, heart, and blood vessels Functions: Heart pumps blood through blood vessels; blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells and helps regulate acid-base balance, temperature, and water content of body fluids; blood components help defend against disease and repair damaged blood vessels Catabolism - breaking down complex chemicals Cellular Level - structural and functional unit; molecules combine to fo...

How many times thicker is blood than water? - 5x How much blood is an average human body? - 1 1/2 gallons or 5-6 liters What are blood cells and fragments called? - Formed elements What are the functions of plasma proteins (like albumin)? - 1) serve as carrier molecules 2) help buffer the blood to maintain the pH 3) increase osmotic pressure to keep water in the blood stream What color is plasma? - Pale yellow What does blood taste like? - Salty and metallic What is a hematocrit? - The p...

abdominopelvic cavity - area below diaphragm active transport - the high energy bond in ATP provides energy needed to move ions or molecules across the membrane. this type is not dependent on concentration gradient adenosine triphosphate - high energy compound composed of amp and two phosphate groups adipocytes - contains a large droplet of lipid and the organelles are squeezed to one side of the cell amino acids - long chains of these make up proteins anabolism - synthesis of new compound...

Apocrine glands (Locations and discharge locations) - Located in the armpits, around the nipples, and in the pubic region Secrete their products into hair follicles Carotene - Orange-yellow pigment that normaly accumalates in epidermal cells Ceruminous glands - Modified sweat glands in the passageway of the external ear Club hair - When a follicle becomes inactive at the end of the hair growth cycle Cyanosis - When skin takes on a blue coloration Dermatitis - An inflammation of the skin t...
