Synthesizing proteins from amino acids
Where are ribosomes located?
Some are mobile and some are embedded in the rough endoplasmic reticulum
What is the golgi apparatus(golgi complex) involved in?
Synthesizing materials such as proteins that are transported out of the cell.
Where is the golgi apparatus located?
Located near the nucleus and consists of layers of membrane
What are vacuoles involved in?
Sacs that are used for storage, digestion, and waste removal
What does a vesicle do?
Performs varying functions such as moving materials within a cell
What does a cytoskeleton do?
Help shape and support the cell(consists of microtubules)
What are microtubules made of?
Protein
What do microtubules do?
Support the cell(apart of the cytoskeleton)
What is cytosol?
Liquid material of the cell(mostly made of water)
Where is cytoplasm located?
Found within the plasma membrane but not within the nucleus
What does the cell membrane do?
Helps keep cytoplasm in and substances located outside the cell(also determines what
enters and leaves)
What does the endoplasmic reticulum do?
Compromises the transport system of cell
What are the types of endoplasmic reticulum and what makes them different?
Rough - has ribosomes on the surface
Smooth - does not have ribosomes on surface
What does the mitochondrion do?
Performs various function such as generating ATP and involved in cell growth and
death
Epithelial Tissue
Tissue in which cells are joined together tightly(example-skin)
Connective Tissue
May be dense, loose, or fatty. It protects and binds body parts(example-bone tissue,
cartilage, tendons, ligaments, fat, blood, and lymph)
Cartilage
Cushions and provides structural support for body parts. It has a jelly like base and is
fibrous
, Blood
Transports oxygen to cells and removes wastes. Carries hormones and defends against
disease
Bone
Hard tissue that supports and protects softer tissues and organs. Its marrow produces
red blood cells
Muscle
Helps support and move the body. Three types - smooth, cardiac, and skeletal
Nervous
Located in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Neurons control responses to changes in
the external and internal environment
Medial
Nearer to the midline of the body(example-little finger is medial to the thumb)
Lateral
Further away from the body's midline(example-in anatomical position the thumb is later
to the little finger)
Proximal
Closer to the center of the body(example-hip is proximal to knee)
Distal
Further away from the center of the body(example-knee is distal to the hip)
Anterior
In front
Posterior
Behind
Cephalad and Cephalic
Towards the head(Cranial)
Caudad
Towards the tail or posterior(Caudial)
Superior
Above or closer to the head
Inferior
Below or closer to the feet
Transverse(Horizontal) Plane
Divides the body into imaginary upper and lower halves
Sagittal Plane
Divides the body vertically into left and right sections
Coronal(Frontal) Plane
Divides the body vertically into front and back sections

What is the MAIN function of the respiratory system?
To supply the body with oxygen and rid the body of carbon dioxide
