Anatomy is the study of body | structure |
physiology is the study of body | function |
Levels of organization | Organism, organ systems, organs, tissues, cells, organelles, molecules, atoms |
Definition of homeostasis | maintaining stable internal conditions |
examples of positive feedback | childbirth, blood clotting, protein digestion, nerve signals |
examples of negative feedback | body temperature control, postural control of Blood pressure |
axial skeleton includes | skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. |
axial skeleton includes these cavities | cranial cavity, thoracic cavity, spinal cavity |
appendicular skeleton includes | limbs and pectoral girdle |
the __________ separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities | diaphragm |
the heart is surrounded by__________ membranes | pericardium |
all terms start with body in | anatomical position |
anatomical position | face forward, arms at side with palms forward |
_________ divides body into left and right | median plane |
_________ divides body into superior and inferior | transverse plane |
_________ divides body into anterior and posterior | coronal plane |
abdominal cavity is divided into four | quadrants |
________ is the simplest form of matter to have unique chemical properties | element |
major elements of the body | oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus |
definition of minerals | solid inorganic substance occurs naturally |
examples of minerals | sodium, potassium, calcium |
definition of electrolyte | substances that ionize in water forming a solution that conducts electricity (needed for nerve conduction and muscle contraction) |
examples of electrolytes | Na+, Cl-, K+, Ca+ |
properties of water that account for ability to support life | Solvency Cohesion Adhesion Chemical reactivity Thermal stability |
all chemical reactions of body are collectively known as | metabolism |
primary categories of organic compounds | carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids |
different types of carbohydrates include | monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides |
example of a polysaccharide | glycogen, starch, cellulose |
5 primary types of lipids | Fatty acids Triglycerides Phospholipids Eicosanoids Steroids |
proteins are made of | amino acids |
4 different protein structures | primary, secondary, tertiary, quanternary |
DNA and RNA are examples of | nucleic acid |
DNA structure | double helix, phosphate group alternate with deoxyribose, steps composed of nitrogenous base |
DNA function | storage of genetic instructions |
RNA structure | single strand, ribose replaces deoxyribose and uracil replaces thymine |
RNA function (3 types) messenger, ribosomal, transfer) | Protein synthesis |
chromosome | made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure |
stages of cell cycle | Growth1 (G1), Synthesis (S), Growth2 (G2), and mitotic |
G1 (growth1) stage | Growth and normal metabolic roles |
G2 Growth2) stage | Growth and preparation for mitosis |
S (synthesis) stage | DNA replication |
4 phases in mitotic stage | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase |
cytokinesis | division of cytoplasm into 2 cells |
cytoplasm | Jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane, surrounds the nucleus |
organelle | Internal structures of a cell, carry out specialized metabolic tasks |
plasma membrane structure (cell membrane) | border of cell composed of 98% lipids (75% of lipids are phospholipid. 20% cholesterol and 5% glycolipid) and proteins (integral and peripheral proteins) |
centrioles | a short cylindrical assembly of microtubules arranged in nine groups of three microtubules each; helps with formation of spindle fibers |
ribosomes | small granules of protein and RNA; read genetic code messages and assembles amino acids into proteins |
nucleus | cellular metabolism and growth; Store and maintain DNA for transcription and replication |
nucleolus (composed of RNA and proteins) | make rRNA which helps in the production of ribosomes |
mitochondria | specialized for synthesizing ATP; powerhouse of cell |
smooth endoplasmic reticulum | lacks ribosomes;make cellular products like hormones and lipids |
rough endoplasmic reticulum | contains ribosomes; synthesis of protein |
lysosome | digestion and waste removal |
golgi complex (system of cisternae) | synthesizes carbohydrates and puts finishing touches on protein synthesis |
peroxisomes | use molecular oxygen to oxidize organic molecules |
cell membrane (plasma membrane) function | Defines cell boundaries. Governs interactions with other cells Controls passage of materials in and out of cell |
3 ways to transport across cell membrane | Diffusion, Osmosis and Facilitated Diffusion |
diffusion | movement of small or lipophilic molecules |
Facilitated diffusion | movement of large or charged molecules via membrane proteins |
osmosis | movement of water molecules |
