what is the cell
basic uit of structure and function in the body, biochemical "factory" - responsible for metabolism
3 principal parts of cell
plasma membrane
cytoplasm (watery liquid)
nucleus
plasma membrane consists of...
phospholipid bilayer and membrane proteins
phospholipid bilayer
phosphate/lipids/cholesterol/glycolipids
forms cell boundary
membrane proteins
channels (pores)
carriers (transporters)
receptors
enzymes
linkers (anchor cells to one another)
identity markers

a property of the plasma membrane - regulares exchanges between ECF/ICF gradient, shape, solubility and charges
Diffusion
movement from the place of high concentration to place of low concentration (cheap perfume spreading through the room)
What is the rate of diffusion determined by?
Temperature - the higher the temp, the faster the diffusion, also size, also charge (aka opposites attract)
Osmosis
a type of diffusion in which only water moves through the plasma membrane (not what the water is carrying)
Tonicity
amount of solute of either side of the plasma membrane
Solutes, Solvent, VS Solution
Solute is the substance being disolved, solvent is H2O, Solution is the result
Isotonic solution
normal saline solution aka 0.9% for NaCl
Hypotonic solution
hypOtonic - bloated, adema - swelling, the water is inside, less salt outside the cell, more salt inside the cell
Hypertonic solution
Reverse of hypOtonic solution - shriveled cell with the water and salt being on the outside the cell
Histology
The study of tissues
4 different types of cells are...
Epithelial
Connective
Nervous
Muscular
Epithelial tissue
-covers body surfaces, lines body cavities and hollow organs
-secretes substances
-forms glands

Characteristics:
-have a free surface toward the exterior
-avascular (fed by diffusion)
-stretch
-rapid replacement
-consists of closely adhering cells
-one or more layers thick
-cells are so tightly packed that the matrix (ground substance, extracellular fluid) cannot be seen
Cells layers can be 3 different types. What are they?
-Simple (single layer)
-Stratified (more than one layer)
-Pseudo-stratified (looks like many layers but isn't)
Connective tissue
-most diverse and abundant of the tissues
-binds organs together, stores energy reserves (fat) and helps provide immunity
-vascular except for cartilage

bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, adipose, blood/lymph
The four tissue types differ from one another in the following 3 ways:
-the characteristics of the cells
-the function of the matrix (extracellular fluid)
-relative amount of space occupied by cells versus matrix
Basement membrane
layer between an epithlium and the underlying connective tissue
How is the stratified epithelium named?
By the type of the top layer
There are four types of simple epithelia, what are they?
-Simple cubiodal
-Simple columnar
-simple squamous
-pseudostratified
Pseudostratified columnar (the fourth type of simple epithelia), tell me about it
-Not all cells reach the free surface
-Looks stratified
-Shorter cells are covered by taller cells
-Every cell reaches the basement membrane
Lumen
opening of a vessel or a tube
Cilia
slender protuberances that project from the much larger cell body, are like grass on the bottom of ocean, are important for movement
Globular cells
Wineglass-type cell that secrets mucus, important for lubrication
Keratinized
cell layers become flat and scaly toward surface (the bottom of the foot) to resist abrasion retards water loss through skin, resists penetration by pathogenic organisms. They are dead and have no nuclei
Non-keratinized
Same as keratinized but without the dead layer (tongue, vagina, esophagus). Resists abrasion and penetration of pathogens
Transitional epithelium
Changes from round to flat when stretched
The urinary tract and blader (to contain urine)
Connective tissue
-Highly vascularized
-cells occupy less space than the extracellular material
-binds organs to each other, supports and protects organs
-most cells of connective tissue are not in direct contact with each other (separated by extracellular material)
-most abundant, widely distributed, histologically variable of teh primary tissues
Types of connective tissue
-Fibrous connective tissue
-Adipose (fat)
-Cartilage
-Bone
-Blood
Fibrous connective tissue can be these two kinds
Dense or loose
Reticular tissue
-Mesh of reticular fibers and fibroblasts
-forms supportive stroma for organs
Adipose tissue
fat tissue, a type of connective tissue. These are empty-looking cells with the nucleus pressed up against cell membrane
energy storage, insulation, cushioning
