Study Notes
Cell Structures and Functions
- The text is an outline of Chapter 3 in the book "Seeley's Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Tenth Edition" by Cinnamon Vanputte, Jennifer Regan, and Andrew Russo.
- The chapter focuses on cell structures and their functions.
- Organelles are specialized structures in cells that perform specific functions, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes.
- The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that holds organelles.
- The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is the outermost component of a cell and forms a boundary between the inside and outside of the cell.
- The cell is the smallest unit of life.
- Cells are involved in cell metabolism and energy use, synthesis of molecules, communication, and reproduction and inheritance.
- The cell membrane acts as a boundary between the inside and outside of the cell.
- The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane.
- The cell membrane is the outermost component of a cell.
- The cell membrane forms a boundary between the material inside the cell and the outside.
- The cell membrane is a specialized structure that encloses the cytoplasm.
