Water, electrolytes, proteins, fats and glycogen
Cell Membrane ANS Separates intracellular and extracellular environments
Provides receptors for hormones and other substances
Electrical activity between nerve and muscle cells
Aids in cell growth/proliferation
Provides receptors for hormones and other biologically active substances
,Participates in the electrical events that occur in nerve and muscle cells
Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation
Ribosomes ANS Site of protein synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum ANS System of paired membranes
Rough and Smooth
Golgi Complex ANS Modifies and packages substances from ER
Mitochondria ANS Power house of the cell (energy), also function to regulate apoptosis
Lysosomes ANS Metabolism
Cytoskeleton ANS Microtubules
Develop and maintain cell form
Participate in intracellular transport mechanisms
Form basic structure for complex cytoplasmic organelles
Contain cilia and flagella
Contain centrioles and basal bodies
Produce muscle contraction (actin and myosin)
Support and maintain the asymmetric shape of cells
Are thin threadlike cytoplasmic structures
Categorized as thin, intermediate, and thick myosin
, Lipid bilayer ANS The basic fluid structure of the membrane and serves as a semipermeable
barrier.
Phospholipids with a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail
Glycocalyx ANS Participates in cell-to-cell recognition and adhesion.
Cell communication ANS cellular, tissue, organ, and system communication is an essential
component of homeostasis (function and growth).
Autocrine signaling occurs when a cell releases a chemical into the extracellular fluid that affects its
own activity.
Paracrine signaling acts on nearby cells.
Endocrine signaling relies on hormones carried in the bloodstream to cells throughout the body.
Synaptic signaling occurs in the nervous system, where neurotransmitters act only on adjacent nerve
cells.
Ion-Channel-Linked Receptors ANS Rapid synaptic signaling between electrically excitable cells
Transmission of impulses in nerve and muscle cells
G-Protein-Linked Receptors ANS The on-off switch for signal transduction
Enzyme-Linked Receptors ANS Receptors for certain protein hormones
Activate an intracellular domain with enzyme activity
