When cardiac cells are in a resting and negatively charged state, this is known as the resting membrane potential. This resting state allows the cells to be ready to receive and transmit electrical signals for proper heart function.

Erythrogenesis, the creation of erythrocytes (better known as red blood cells) requires iron because iron is a necessary constituent of the chemical hemoglobin, which is used to transport oxygen.
The muscle cell, also known as a myocyte, can be longer than most cells and contain multiple nuclei. This characteristic allows muscle cells to efficiently produce the proteins needed for muscle contraction and function.
Yes, in a healthy tissue culture, new cells can replace the cells that are removed. This process, known as cell regeneration or proliferation, allows the tissue to heal and continue to grow and function properly.
Chemical reactions in cells are facilitated by enzymes, which are biological catalysts that lower the activation energy needed for reactions to occur. Enzymes provide an environment that promotes chemical reactions at lower temperatures, known as physiological conditions. This allows cells to efficiently carry out metabolic processes despite the low temperatures inside the cell.
They are known as Chloroplasts.
Cell division allows for growth, as cells divide to produce new cells. Worn out or damaged cells are typically removed through programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis, which helps maintain the health and proper functioning of tissues and organs.
Traveling wave of excitation is known as an action potential in nerve cells or an impulse in muscle cells. This wave allows for communication and coordination of cell activities in the body.
Groups of cells that are similar in both structure and function are known as tissues. Tissues work together to perform specific functions within an organism, forming organs that carry out more complex tasks. Organ systems are then formed by groups of organs working together.
A network of axons and dendrites, known as a neuronal network, allows nerve cells to communicate effectively by transmitting electrical signals. This interconnected structure enables the transmission of information throughout the nervous system.
