1) Water is an active molecule. It has a lot of internal Kinetic energy.


2) Water can easily become a gas from a liquid state and evaporate without any problems.


3) Water is POLAR; One end is positive and the other end is negative. This helps water conduct electricity and disloves stuff (it is the best solvent)



4) Water molecules are so small they can slip through membranes/
5) Water molecules diffuse away from other molecules which keeps the concentration equal throughout the the cell.

Solutes

stuff that dissolves in the solute

Solution

When the solute dissolves in the solvent it becomes a solution.

Ions

ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule.
Sometimes solutes dissolve into ions like sodium chloride.  Polar molecules don't ionize. But they still have their areas of charge.

Osmolarity

Describes the total number of dissolved particles in the solution. *Can be used to determine the flow of water*


1 osmol= 1 mol of solute particles per liter of solution

Isotonic Cell

if the cell has the same osmolarity as the extracelluar enviroment. Water solutes won't move and volume won't change.

Hypertonic

If the extracelluar fluid has a higher osmolarity than the cell. Water will flow out of the cell and the cell will shrivel and die. ***CRENATE***

Hypotonic

When the osmolarity of the cell is lower than the cell, more water and fluids will rush into the cell causing it to swell and BUSRT TO DEATH. ***LYSE***

Afferent Nerves

Help take knowledge from our enviroment to our central nervous system(CNS), which includes the brain or spinal cord.

3 parts of the Afferent Nervous System:

1) Sensory Receptors


2) Neural Pathways


3) CNS

Sensory Receptprs

Take a stimulus from the environment and convert it into a signal that can be passed on to the CNS.

Neural Pathway

carry the signal for the sensory information to the CNS

Central Nervous System

will interpret the sensory information and will make a response if necessary.

Modality

Type of stimulus


ex: light waves, photons

Intensity

strength of stimulus


ex: how bright the light wave

Location

where the stimulus is occurring


ex: in the eye



Duration

refers to how long the stimulus lasts


ex: brief flash of light

Sensory Unit

One sensory afferent neurin and sensory receptor endings

Receptive Field

Area of the body that stimulates one sensory unit

Lateral Inhibition

most strongly activated signal pathway originating from the center of a stimulus area inhibits the less excited sensory pathways from adjacent sensory receptors by means of lateral inhibitory connections within sensory pathways reducing their response to the stimulus.

Accomendation

The rounding of lens, it bends light rays to focus the image on the retina

Presbyopia

Near Point

the closet an object can be focused on when the object

Visual Acuity

Your measure of vision ability

Emmetropia

Good vision 20/20. Light converges on the lens to the back of the eye

Myopia

Nearsightedness, 20/50. The eyeball is too long and the light converges on the middle of the eye (in front of the retina)

Hyperopia

Farsightedness, 20/10. Eyeball is too short, so the light hits the back of the retina and doesn't converge at all.

Astigmastism

Vision is blurry because of an abnormal curvature of the lens.

Optic Disc

No photorecptors (rods or cones) in this area of the eye. Blood vessels and optic nerve converge. This creates a blind spot in your vision.
