circulatory shock
blood leaves, bp lowers, heart is deprived of blog, leads to even less bp, blood flow goes to the brain
anaphylaxis
b/c of allergy, severe bronchoconstriction, unable to breath
pleural cavities
Right and Left areas containing lungs, on either side of the mediastinum
mediastinum
the part of the thoracic cavity between the lungs that contains the heart and aorta and esophagus and trachea and thymus

a thin membrane lining the closed cavities of the body
parietal
describing serous membranes that line the cavity wall
visceral
describing serous membranes that line the organs
pericardium
membrane surrounding heart
pleura
membrane surrounding the lungs
peritoneum
membrane surrounding abdominopelvic organs
heart, thymus, aorta, esophagus, and trachea
what's in the mediastinum
atoms -> cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems -> organism
structure of organism from most basic to most complex
cell biology
study of cells in the research setting
oxygen
most of in the body by weight
H, C, N, O
elements occur most frequently (over 96% by weight)
electrolytes
cations or anions dissolved in water (make water conducive to electricity)
nonelectrolytes
molecules that do not dissociate in water, do not conduct electricity
synthesis reaction
chemical reaction that takes molecule from simple to complex (anabolic)
decomposition reaction
chemical reaction that takes molecules from complex to simple (catabolic)
dehydration reaction
a synthesis reaction in which water is created
hydrolysis
splitting of water, usually occurs during a decomposition reaction
carbonic acid
H2CO3
bicarbonate ion
HCO3(-)
glucose (PE) -> chem energy -> mechanical energy -> objects with PE -> rolls off
muscle contraction energy phases
chemical energy
potential energy stored in the bonds of the substance
increase temperature, increase concentration of reactants, catalysts
3 ways to increase speed of chemical reactions
enzymes
protein catalysts
ribozymes
RNA catalysts
lower activation energy
catalysts speed up reactions by doing this
stabilize body temperature, protection (tears=lubricant, protection from friction), chemical reactions, mixing medium
functions of water
adhesion, cohesion
properties of water from hydrogen bonds
colloid
dispersed particles larger than molecules in solution
suspension
mixture containing materials that separate from each other unless blended together
osmolality
moles of particles per 1 kg of solution, accounts for dissociation
weak
an acid or base that only partially dissociates
strong
completely dissociates
acid
donate H+
base
accept H+
salt
dissociates, but does not change pH
buffer
resists change in pH
conjugate acid-base pair
H2CO3 and HCO3 are this
structure, energy
functions of carbs
protection (pads organs), insulation, regulation (steroids), vitamins, structure (plasma membrane), energy
functions of lipids
eicosanoids
derived from fatty acids
CH2
