|
form in CNS
(brain and spinal cord) |
|
nervous system
|
CNS (brain and spinal cord) and PNS (nerves and ganglia)
|
|
homeostasis
|
The ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain a relatively constant internal EQUILIBRIUM by adjusting its physiological processes
|
|
conformers vs/ regulators
|
CONFORMERS maintain SAME fluid composition as environment (lower energy costs)
REGULATORS maintain internal composition of fluids DIFFERENT from environment at a higher energy cost |
|
feed-forward regulation
(HORSE RACE) |
physiological changes that prepares the organism for ANTICIPATED CHANGE
|
|
feedback mechanisms

process includes stimulus, sensor, set point, integrating center, effector, response
|
|
Negative feedback minimizes change (often through antagonistic effectors) while positive feedback DOES WHAT?
|
Negative feedback minimizes change (often through antagonistic effectors) while positive feedback EMPHASIZES CHANGE.
|
|
body temperature
|
controlled by HYPOTHALAMUS; a rise in the set point (as in the induction phase of a fever) would trigger muscles contracting causing SHIVERS

|
solute movement across plasma membrane
|
utilize simple diffusion, ATP-powered active transport, transporters, and facilitated diffusion.
|
|
Net movement of substances from areas of HIGH concentration to areas of LOW concentration thru random motion
|
diffusion
Consider: With diffusion, form promotes function, so epithelium specialized for diffusion would be thin with a relatively large surface area |
|
Facilitated diffusion
|
CARRIER PROTEIN facilitates solute movement in response to [gradient] thru CONFORMATIONAL change
|
|
Diffusion of water in response to water [gradient] caused by solute presence; net (free) water movement (via diffusion) across membrane towards a higher solute concentration, therefore, WATER moves from a region of HIGH water concentration to one of LOW water concentration
|
osmosis
|
|
solute
|
SUBSTANCE dissolved in solvent
|
|
solvent
|
THE LIQUID the solute dissolved within
|
|
Mixture of solvent and solute
|
solution
|
|
isotonic
|
Comparison of two solutions where both have EQUAL [solute], therefore have equal [water]…no concentration gradient for water, so no net movement of water
|
|
In comparison of two solutions with unequal osmotic concentration, the solution with HIGHER SOLUTE concentration; free water moves into hypertonic solution
|
hypertonic
|
|
In comparison of two solutions with unequal osmotic concentration, the solution with LOWER SOLUTE concentration; free water moves out of hypotonic solution
|
hypotonic
|
|

A. stimulate more ATP production. B. inhibit more ATP production. C. not alter ATP production. D. stimulate ATP degradation. E. All of the answers for this question are correct. |
A. stimulate more ATP production.
|
|
103. Homeotic genes
A. are only present in vertebrates. B. are only present in insects and vertebrates. C. are found in all animals. D. have widely varied functions from species to species. E. are involved in the formation, but not the positioning, of organs. |
C. are found in all animals.
|
|
In which of the following locations would you find skeletal muscle?
A. biceps muscle B. heart C. arterial wall D. small intestine E. bronchiole |
A. biceps muscle

|
Epithelial membranes are not very thick because
A. epithelial tissues cannot support other cells growing on top of the tissue. B. epithelial tissues are nourished by blood vessels in adjacent tissues, thus diffusion is limited to thin tissues. C. epithelial tissues can only reach a certain level of thickness because of their pre-programmed cell growth. D. epithelial tissues that are much greater than a few cell layers in thickness collapse because of drying conditions caused by the environment. E. epithelial tissues are not able to grow past several cell layers because of an interrupted cell cycle which occurs after several complete cell cycles. |
B. epithelial tissues are nourished by blood vessels in adjacent tissues, thus diffusion is limited to thin tissues.
