Embryology Ch. seven

the smallest living unit of organization in the body

kicking something out of the cell (i.e. ameloblasts leaving a slimy train)

bringing something into the cell (i.e. ameloblasts leaving a slimy trail)

a form of endocytosis. the cell eats whatever it brings in.

cells work together to form___________. Tissues work together to form___________. Organs work together to form_______________.
give an example.

keeps good things in and bad things out

the fluid contained within the cell membrane

specialized structures within the cell

the brain of the cell where the DNA is kept

the power source that creates Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

the protein factory of the cell

modify, store, segregate, and transport proteins

segregation, packaging, and transportation of proteins

digestion in cell

help with cell division

specialized proteins that help keep the cell's shape - protein filaments give it shape and help connect it to other cells

interstitial fluid. Comes from the blood stream. Provides a medium for cell interaction. Extra of this causes edema.

comes from the cells. Provides a medium for cell interaction and support for the cell. MATRIX is this.

How cells stick together

the nails that connect cell to cell

the head of the nail

a junction between cells

a junction between a cell and a non cellular surface (i.e. the oral epithelium and the surface of the tooth)
