Euglena Structure
Image Example Function of each part Main Function Euglena Structure of a euglena: Flagellated protozoan that lives in the fresh waters. It is composed of chlorophyll and a rudimentary eye.
Reservoir: part of a euglena that serves to accumulate.
Nucleus: central organ of a Eugene.
Contractile vacuole: cavity of a euglena that has the capacity to contract.
Cell membrane: membrane that wraps euglena.
Chloroplast: organelle of a euglena where photosynthesis is.
Nucleolus: body shaped like a sphere in the nucleus of a euglena.
Stigma: part of a euglena sensitive to light.
Flagellum: mobile and long filament that serves the locomotion of a euglena. Euglena cells contain chloroplasts that allow them to create food through photosynthesis Diatoms These

They are generated in the bone marrow and, through the blood, emigrate to different organs and tissues like the lungs, liver, spleen, bones or lymph nodes. Its function is to eat different microorganisms or cellular debris. Fight against dangerous microorganisms in our bodies Red blood cell It is small in size and has a biconcave shape. It lacks nucleus and organelles.
It is a biconcave disc of about 7 to 7.5 μm in diameter and 80 to 100 fL in volume.
Its biconcave shape allows the erythrocyte to have a large surface in relation to its volume. This promotes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the inside of the erythrocyte and the blood plasma. Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide all over our bodies spermatozoon Head: contains two main parts: the acrosome, which covers the anterior two thirds of the head; And the nucleus, which contains the genetic load of the sperm. Acrosome: layer formed by enzymes such as hyaluronidase and acrosine, which will promote penetration, weakening by degrading the walls of the egg. Nucleus: it is the only part that enters its cytoplasm, leaving behind the already empty membrane. Central part: has a large number of mitochondria concentrated in a helical sheath, which provide energy to the sperm. Tail: Provides

Astrocyte Protoplasmic astrocytes: they are found mainly in the gray matter, and have cytoplasmic extensions of very variable form.
Fibrous astrocytes: in their extensions there is a large number of fibrils (gliofibrils). They are found, especially in the white matter. They are easily distinguished by having longer and less branched prolongations than protoplasmic astrocytes.
Radial astrocytes: during neurodevelopment, its extensions connect the ventricular base with the pia mater, forming the glial subpial limiting lamina. They take care of basic aspects for the maintenance of neuronal function, intertwining around the neuron to form a supporting network, and thus acting as a filtering barrier between the blood and the neuron, the blood brain barrier, which contains specialized regions of high conductance Which control the passage of nutrients, oxygen, vitamins and hormones into the nervous

    Glial cells are non-neural cells that perform "housekeeper" functions such as clearing out debris and excess materials. Glial cells support neurons by providing support and nutrition. There are several different types of glial cells: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells, radial glial, satellite cells and schwann cells. It is estimated that there are 10 to 50 times more glial cells than there are neurons in the brain.…

    Abstract: In the content of the Module 2 we learned about Diffusion across cell membranes. We touched on the different types of cells and their functions. How things are transported in and out of cells. Learning about isotonic, hypertonic and even hypotonic solution. This is not my first time touching on this subject in my nursing career and I learned a way to remember what happens in the different solutions. This project was to see which solution was able to pass through the semi permeable membrane. I came to the conclusion that as we learned in this module some molecules are too large to pass through membranes and some are some are small enough to pass…

The longitudinal flagellum extends out from the sulcal groove of the hypotheca when it snaps back and forth it moves the cell forward. The flattened flagellum lies in the cingulum, the groove that expands around the equator of the cell. The motion of this provides maneuvering and forward movement. The result of this is the action of the two flagella the cell spirals as it moves.…

    Autistic children have a wide range of behavioral characteristics. The autistic students that I have had in my classroom have been able to handle the pressures of the general education setting. However, there are many autistic children with severe behavior problems. They will scream, throw tantrums, hit themselves and cry. Many of these children need constant attention which is very tiring for caregivers. Furthermore, they will run away and into traffic without warning. For this reason, caregivers must keep a constant eye on them to keep them safe and protect them from harm. If they are able to get away, they do not have the ability to find their way home or communicate information to others so they are able to be returned to their families. All of these are very real and difficult challenges for families.…
