Document Summary
Biol 273 chapter 3: compartmentation: cells and tissues notes. What are the types of cavities: cranial cavity aka the skull. Contains the brain: thoracic cavity aka thorax. Thoracic cavity is bounded by the spine and ribs, on top and sides, with muscular diaphragm forming the floor. Abdominal cavity and pelvis form one continuous cavity. The pelvis contains reproductive organs, urinary bladder, and the: abdominal cavity. Kidney"s lie outside the abdominal cavity terminal portion of large intestine. Lumen: the interior of any hollow organ. Cell membrane: a thin layer of lipids that separated the aqueous fluids of the interior and outside environments. Alterations in the cell membrane may affect cell"s activities shape. Cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions stabilize the structure of tissues: structural support: proteins hold the cytoskeleton in place maintaining its. Micelles: small droplets with a single layer of phospholipids arranged so that the interior of the micelle is filled with hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
