• Is the study of an organism’s normal body functions

• Is the study of disease mechanisms

• Are the basic building blocks of all life

• Components of a cell that carry out the processes necessary for life within each cell

• - Cell "headquarter"
• - Contains DNA - instructions for building protein
• - Made up of:
• - Chromatin - creates chromosomes during cell division
• - Nuceoli - where ribosomes are assembled
• - Nuclear envelope - nucleus membrane

• "Powerhouse" of the cell. Mitochondria carry the enzymes that are required for the reactions in which oxygen is used to break down foods to produce ATP

• - Studded with ribosome
• - Cell's membrane factory
• - Cell's that make and import protein products
• - Enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of membrane lipids

• - Lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs and pesticides

• - Abundant in phagocytes, the cells that dispose of bacteria and cell debris

- Acts as a cell's "bones and muscles" by furnishing an internal framework that determines cell shape, support other oraganelles and provides the amchinery needed for intracellular transport and various types of cellular movement

  - Generate microtubules , and during cell division, the centrioles direct the formation of mitotic spindle
