- Base (bulb is located in here)
19

Scanning (red) x 4
Low power (yellow) x 10
High power (blue) x 40
Occular + Objective
red 4 x 10 = 40x
yellow 10 x 10 = 100x
blue 40 x 10 = 400x
21

Refers to the width of the circle of light you can see when looking into a microscope.
Smaller the lense power, the larger the field of view.
22
Q
Steps to using a microscope
A
- Lowest objective lense in place (4x), the stage is completely lowered, light is on a low setting.
- Slide is placed on the stage and held in place by camps.
- Stage controls bring the specimen into view.
- Light and course focus are adjusted first followed by the fine focus to make the subject clearly visible.
- Step 4 is repeated with the additional objective lenses.
- Repeat step one after removing the slide from the stage.
- Turn off, cover & store microscope
23
Q
Nucleus
In regards to a cell
A
The center of the cell that holds the genetic code to make proteins.
24
Q
Free Ribosomes
A
Ribosomes that float in cytoplasm to produce proteins that are made to stay in the cells.
25
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
## Footnote
rough ER
Site of protein synthesis. Once the protein is made it's packaged in the golgi complex to be sent out of the cell or into the cell membrane.
26
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
## Footnote
smooth ER
ER with no ribosomes attached. It can make fats (like cholesterol + phospholipids) and glycogen, store calcium, and help detoxify waste.
27
Golgi Complex
acts like a distribution center
Packages material that's going to leave the cell.

33
Mitosis Phases
1. Prophase (pro = before)
2. Metaphase (meta = across/ between)
3. Anaphase (ana = up)
4. Telophase (telo = end)
34
Prophase identifiers
* **Chromosomes are visible**

* 2 daughter cells are the result
38
Simple Diffusion
The movement of a substance from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration.
39
Facilitated Diffusion
The diffusion of a substance from a higher concentration to a lower concentration **with the help of a carrier molecule**.
40
Active Transport
The diffusion of substances from a lower concentration to higher with transport proteins (pumps)
41
Carrier saturation
Carrier (proteins) saturation = too much
Occurs when there's more molecules than binding sites on carrier proteins availble.
42
Factors that affect the rate of simple diffusion
1. Temperature
2. Concentration gradient
43
What type of molecules can diffuse through the cell membrane by simple diffusion?
Hydrophobic molecules - cell membrane is made of phospholipids
44
Epithelial Tissue
Can be identified by its apical surface next to the lumen.
It functions to form body linings.
These tissues can secrete, absorb, or protect
45
Tissue Classes
Epithelial
Connective
Nervous
Muscle
46
Nervous tissue
Identifiable by the presence of neurons and glia cells.
Responsible for sending, receiving, and responding to messages (stimuli) from the body.
47
Muscle Tissue
Functions to move substances throughout the body. Is able to recieve and respond to stimuli. Contractible.
48
Connective tissue
So diverse that it requires sub-categories:
* Dense - bone, cartilage, tendons
* Loose - areolar, adipose
* Fluid - blood
These tissues can secrete an ECM of salts and protein fibers, elastic and collegent fibers are present around the cells in the matrix.
49

63
What's the difference between eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands?
Eccrine:
* Found all over the body
* Secretory part is coiled in the dermis
* Mostly contains: water, salt + waste
Apocrine:
* only found in armpits + around genitals
* Lipids and carbs are present → body odors after bacterial degredation (probably pharamones)
* Secretory part is deeper
64
Sensory receptors in dermis
* Lamellated corpuscles
* Temp receptors
* Pain receptors
65
Membrane types
## Footnote
Only ones covered in class
* Cutaneous - skin
* Mucous - contains glands
* Serous - secrete fluid
* Epithelial - attaches epithelial to connective
66
Integumentary glands
* Sweat: Eccrine, apocrine
* Mammary - midified sweat
* Sebaceous - secrete sebum onto hair follicle
67
Sebum
Substance that coats the skin, provides lubrication + makes skin waterproof.
68
Dermis
* 2 layers of connective tissues under the epidermis: Papillary, Reticular
* Makes up most of the skin
* Gives skin elasticity
* Contains blood vessels + neurons
69
Reticular Dermis
Deepest layer and composes most of the dermis with dense irregular connective tissue. The dense bundles of collagen fibers go in all directions that resist stretching in all directions with cleavage lines within the bundles.
70
Papillary Dermis
Top layer of dermis composed of superficial areolar (Ioose irregular connective) tissue with lots of space between the protein fibers and blood vessels throughout (material diffuses though the epidermis).
