686465. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'.
v. t. e. Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. [ 1][ 2] All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [ 3] Cell biology is the study of the structural and ...
Parafollicular cell. Microscopic section of the thyroid showing follicles lined by follicular epithelial cells, and in between them larger parafollicular cells. Parafollicular cells, also called C cells, are neuroendocrine cells in the thyroid. They are called C cells because the primary function of these cells is to secrete calcitonin. [ 1]
The list of human cell types provides an enumeration and description of the various specialized cells found within the human body, highlighting their distinct functions, characteristics, and contributions to overall physiological processes. Cells may be classified [ 1] by their physiological function, histology (microscopic anatomy), [ 2 ...
Cell cycle. Onion ( Allium) cells in different phases of the cell cycle. Growth in an ' organism ' is carefully controlled by regulating the cell cycle. Cell cycle in Deinococcus radiodurans. The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the sequential series of events that take place in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells.
The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [ 1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome (s) before dividing.
Membrane polarity. Alpha intercalated cell. The apical membrane or luminal membrane of a polarized cell is the surface of the plasma membrane that faces inward to the lumen. This is particularly evident in epithelial and endothelial cells, but also describes other polarized cells, such as neurons.
