What are the main characteristics of life?

Movement


Responsiveness


Growth


Reproduction


Respiration

What is the study of structure /morphology of the human body and its part? What is the Greek term for it?

Anatomy


“Cutting up”

Define homeostasis.

Maintenance of a stable internal environment

What are the 3 parts of a homeostatic mechanism. Define their functions.

Receptor: detects and provides info about the stimuli


Control center: decision maker that maintains the set point


Effector: muscle or gland that responds to the control center and causes necessary change

Which portion contains the head, neck, and trunk?

Axial

Which portion contains the upper and lower limbs?

Appendicular

The muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities

Diaphragm

Region between lungs in thoracic cavity

Mediastinum

What does the abdominal cavity consists of

Extends from diaphragm to top of pelvis, stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys, small intestines, most of large intestines

What does the pelvic cavity consist of

Enclosed by the pelvic bones, end of large intestines, urinary bladder, internal reproductive organs

________ often forms isotopes

Oxygen

What are the pH blood ranges?

Acidosis : 7.25-7.35


Alkalosis : 7.45-7.55

What is the basic unit of structure and function in the body? And give examples of the differentiated types.

Cell


Astrocytes, podocytes, chondrocytes

What are the 3 major parts of the cell?

Nucleus


Cell membrane


Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm consists of organelles, with specific functions suspended in a liquid called____________

Cytosol

Cell (plasma) membrane regulates entry and exit of substances meaning it is__________ _________

Selectively permeable

Cell membrane framework is a __________ __________. Give the examples.

Phospholipid bilayer


Hydrophilic-water-soluble (heads form surfaces)


Hydrophobic- water-insoluble(heads form interior)

“Gel” of the cell, consists of membranes and organelles suspended in cytosol

Cytoplasm

Composed of protein and RNA, free in cytoplasm or on RER

Ribosomes

Membrane-bound sacs, canals, vesicles. Tubular transport system.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)


RER-contains ribosomes, conducts protein synthesis


SER-does not have ribosomes, conducts lipids synthesis

Store or transport substances

Vesicles

Refines, packages, and delivers proteins made on the RER, “post-office” of the cell. Tell the vesicles where to go

Golgi apparatus

House chemical reactions that extract energy from nutrients, “powerhouse” of the cell

Mitochondria

Contains enzymes that digest proteins, carbohydrates, nucleus acids, bacteria, debris, worn out cells. “Garbage disposal” of the cell

Lysosomes

Contain enzymes that digest lipids, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide

Peroxisomes

“Central body”, made up of microtubules, pull apart DNA in mitosis

Centrosome

Only found in sperm cells

Flagella

Contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities

Nucleus

Double layer membrane, holds DNA

Nuclear envelope

“Little nucleus”, production of ribosomes

Nucleolus

Consists of cell chromosomes, houses your gene

Chromatin

Movement does not require ATP. Give examples.

Physical (passive) processes


*diffusion


*osmosis


*facilitated diffusion


*filtration

Movement requires ATP. Give examples

Physiological (active) processs


*active transport


*endocytosis


*exocytosis


*transcytosis

Define osmosis

Movement across water, higher water concentration to lower water concentration. Passive, no nATP required

______ ________ same osmotic pressure, no net gain or loss of water (out=in)

Isotonic solution

______ _______ higher osmotic pressure (too much water in the cell)

Hypertonic solution

______ _______ lower osmotic pressure, lower water concentration inside the cell(out water higher)

Hypotonic solution

______ process that forces molecules through membranes by exerting pressure. No ATP required

Filtration

______-anything that takes up space and has matter. Matter is composed of elements. Give some examples

Matter


Solid, liquid, gas
