Document Summary

It is at the cellular level or organization that activities essential to life occur and where disease processes originate. A cell is the basic, living, structural, and functional unit of the body. All animal cells have four anatomical features in common. Plasmalemma -- the plasmalemma (cell or plasma membrane) is the outer limiting membrane that separates the cell"s internal components from the extracellular material and external environment. Cytoplasm -- cytoplasm is the term used for all cellular material between the plasma membrane and the nucleus of the cell. Cytosol -- cytosol is the thick, semi-fluid portion of the cytoplasm called the intracellular fluid. It contains soluble proteins, enzymes, ions, and nutrients, and suspends the organelles. Organelles -- organelles are highly organized structures with characteris- tic shapes that are highly specialized for specific activities. Inclusions -- inclusions are temporary structures suspended or stored within the cytoplasm that contain secretions and storage products of the cell.
