Organelles:ER, Golgi, Mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes
Modifies molecules into finished products;
Sorts, packages, and directs molecules to their final destinations;
Produces lysosomes
synthesizes proteins for secretion or exported (hormones or enzymes) or incorporated into the membrane (plasma or organelle)
connects, supports, and anchors various body parts
houses cells genetic material DNA organized into 46 chromosomes (blueprint for replication and directs protein synthesis)
distinct, highly organized structures that perform a specialized function
selectively controls movement into and out of a cell
Serves as central packaging and discharge site, forms transport vesicles
our understanding of health and disease and how our body works as a cohesive whole
Initiating and transmitting electrical impulses acting as signals
All aqueous solution (water) that is OUTSIDE of the cell
collections of organs that perform related functions
body structure that integrates different tissues to perform particular functions
Complex protein network that acts as “bone and muscle” of cells; Microtubules, Microfilaments,
Intermediate filaments
digestive system of cell degrade extracellular material and remove dysfunctional organelles
The study of how our body works
