ATI TEAS VI (6) - Science
Anatomical Position –
Standard positioning of the body as standing; feet together; arms to the side; with head,
eyes, and palms of hands forward
Cells –
The basic structural unit of an organism from which living things are created
Cellular Functions –
Processes that include growth, metabolism, replication, protein synthesis, and
movement
Body Cavities –
spaces within the body that contain and protect internal organs
Organ Systems –
Functional groups of organs that work together within the body: Circulatory,
integumentary, skeletal, reproductive, digestive, urinary, respiratory, endocrine,
lymphatic, muscular, nervous; 11 total
Organelle –
A specialized part of a cell that has a specific function
Organ –
A self-contained part of an organism that performs a specific function
Reference Planes –
Planes dividing the body to describe locations: sagittal, coronal, and transverse
Sagittal/Lateral Plane –
A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right
and left sides; Left/Right division
Coronal/Frontal Plane –
A vertical plane running from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into
anterior and posterior portions; Front/Back division
Transverse/Axial Plane –
A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts;
Top/Bottom division
Tissue –
, A group of cells with similar structure that function together as a unit, but at a lower
level than organs
Centrosome –
Forms mitotic spindle (cell division); Builds microtubules (non dividing cells)
Cilia/Flagella –
Movement
Ribosomes –
Protein Synthesis
Rough ER –
Protein synthesis and processing
Smooth ER –
Fatty acid and steroid (lipid) synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum –
The transport network that is responsible for the transference of proteins throughout a
cell; a network of membranes found throughout the cell
Golgi Apparatus/Complex –
Packages and sends proteins; Assists in the transport, but is not the actual transport
network
Lysosomes –
Break down/digest molecules
Mitochondria –
ATP Production
Nucleus –
Controls structure, produces ribosomes, and directs cell
Peroxisome –
Oxidation and detoxification
Proteasome –
Degrades bad proteins
Cytoskeleton –
Cell shape, support, and movement (includes microtubules, microfilaments, and
intermediate filaments)
Superior –
