    sensory input? They do so with nervous system tissue that imitates electrical wiring. A series of photomicrographs and schematic illustrations show myelinated nerve fibers. Panel A is an illustration of a single neuron with major structures labeled. Panel B is an illustration of a cross section of a neuron that shows a myelin sheath wound around an axon. Panel C shows a cross section of a nerve stained with toluidine blue and viewed with a light

    CELL TRANSPORT MECHANISMS AND PERMEABILITY Zack Johnson Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab 2101 Instructor: Alan Byboth‚ M.S. 10/4/12 Abstract- The cell is invaluable building block of all biological life on this planet‚ and one of its most important and unique characteristics is its ability to be selectively permeable with its plasma membrane. This outer membrane’s sophisticated mechanisms of transport through its bilayer are vital in maintaining homeostasis in the cell and the entire

    Title: Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and

    Nervous System: an extensive network of specialized cells that carries information to and from all parts of the body. Neuron: the basic cell that makes up the nervous system and that receives and sends messages within that system. Dendrites: branchlike structures that receive messages from other neurons. Soma: the cell body of the neuron responsible for maintaining the life of the cell. Axon: tubelike structure that carries the neural message. Glial cells grey fatty cells that provide support for

    The cell membrane is made up of fats‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and carbohydrates‚ and is a permeable structure. However‚ this permeation is very discerning because it only lets certain things pass through it. The cell membrane has a layer of phospholipids with hydrophobic ends and hydrophilic tops. The “tails” are made out of phosphate‚ while the “heads” are made up of two strings of fatty acids. There are two layers of these phospholipids‚ called the “bilayer”‚ and the tips of each phospholipid are facing

    (payload) into the cells. A. Binding to surface receptors- - a viral receptor is cell surface molecule‚ likely a transmembrane protein - a virus may need multiple receptors to enter the cell -the ability of viruses to infect certain cells but not others are typically due to the fact that only the "permissive cells" display the right viral receptors. This is called virus "tropism" -many viruses are species-specific‚ partially due to receptor differences. B. membrane structure and hydrophobicity

    contents intact. The Cell Membrane: Is a phospholipid bilayer that completely surrounds a bacterial cell. Cell membrane acts as a highly selective barrier. This barrier prevents materials from diffusing into and out of the cell. This allows the cell to take up chemicals and nutrients needed for survival while keeping the cell components separated from the environment. The fluid and all its dissolved or suspended particles that can be found within a bacterial cell are called the Cytoplasm. Cytosol

    Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test the effects of osmosis on eggs in hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. Hypothesis: If the corn syrup is a hypertonic solution‚ then the egg’s size will shrink. If the water is a hypotonic solution‚ then the egg will swell. Materials: Styrofoam cups (2 per group) Styrofoam cups to weigh down egg (2) Balance Paper towels Vinegar (enough to cover egg) Distilled water Corn syrup Fresh eggs (2 per group) Procedure: Day
