What is the nuclear envelop?
It surrounds the nuclues. It contains pores which control the movement of substances in and out of the nucleus.
List the most inner structure to the outer most.
-nucleus
-nuclear lamina
-nnuclear envelope

1) Microfilaments (actin)
2) Microtubules
3) Intermediate filaments
What is the functon of Mircofilaments?
Aid in movement
- Local movement - mircovilli in the GI tract
- Sliding filament theory
What is the function of Microtubules?
Chromosomal movement
intracellular movement during meiosis and mitosis
Ciliary and flagellar movement
What is the function of Intermediate Filaments?
More stable
No movement
What is the function of Mitochondria?
Produce ATP
Two membranes

Synthesis and degradation of hydrogen
B-oxidation of very long chain fatty acids
Phospholipid exchange
Bile acid synthesis
What are tight junctions?
They site close to the surface or cells and dont allow things to penetrate the skin.
