organelle that processes and packages material to be secreted

physical process by which water and solute move through a membrane when a hydrostatic pressure gradient exists across the membrane

stretchable and one of the most widely distributed tissues. it acts like a glue spread between them but an elastic glue that permits movement.

Functional characteristic of ribosomes

An outer boundary of the cell

the cytoplasm is made of various organelles and molecules suspended in a water fluid called cytosol

mature cells of bone

type of tissue that contains cells called neurons

Largest human cell

epithelial membranes that line body surfaces opening directly to the exterior

The power plants of cells

small spaces in the bone where osteocytes are located

firm, whitish, flexible connect tissue found in various forms

smallest of the cell fibers

lines cavities that are not open to the external environment

a non membranous structure made up of two subunits. Each subunit is composed of rRNA and protein

the studyy of tissues

type of cell found in connective tissue that releases histamine

the behavior of two fluids that have the same osmolality and doo not gain or lose water by osmosis

membrane lining the wall of the thoracic cavity

found in the epithelial cells that line the intestines and other areas where absorption is important

loses water by osmosis and shrivels

This type of tissue has the greatest capacity to regeneraate

The plasma membrane "traps" some extracellular material and brings it into the cell

membrane lining the wall of the abdominal cavity
