Cells
|
Are the basic units of life made of molecules and they carry out all different functions. They use energy, metabolism, remove waste, and they build things up and down.
|
|
Tissues
|
Are a collection of similar cells and they are grouped together.
|
|
Microtubules
|
Provide cell stability and transort cargo along neurons. They are made up of tubulin. Kinesin molecule has the cargo attached to the top with 2 legs that walk along the microtubule and deliver the cargo.
|
|
Cilia
|
are fold of membrane that are in the lungs and the oviducts. They help sweep out debris or dust in the lungs. Smokers cough in the morning b/c the cilia aren't working. They sweep the ovum down to the uterus.
|
|

|
is present in all membranes or cells and fits b/w fatty acids. It creates stability and fluidity. You must have cholesterol to stay alive.
|
|
Channels
|
tubes that pass things from one side of membrane to the other. Ions are the only things that can pass through. they open and close in membrane and allow certain ions controlled by receptors.
|
|
Receptors
|
are on the outside where thy bind to an agonist and then they activate enzymes or a channel.
|
|
Desosomes

Buffers will bind H+, com in acid or base and becomes AH or BH+. one hydrogen is bound to something its not free in fluid anymore and no longer in solution and not contributing to high ion concentration. |
|
Respiratory Control of H+
Kidney Control of H+ |
Increase hydrogn, increase death and frequency of respiration, remove carbon dioxide.
Removes hydrogen from any non-renal source. |
|
Metabolic Acidosis and Alkalosis
|
Acid-non- respiratory, most common, caused by severe diarhea, loss of bicarbonate
Alka=Decrease in hydrogen for non-resp. reasons, vomitting loss of hydrogen in vomittes, excess bicarbonate. |
|
Enzymes
|
Amylase splits starch into dissacharides in small intestine you have dissacharides and produce monosaccarides which are absorbable.
|
|
Proenzymes
|
enzymes that do the digestion are released in protected form. in stomach acid then pepsin in S.I. enterokinase on walls convers trypsinogen into trypsin which activates other proteases.
|
|
Peptidases
|
Proteases convert protein into peptides. Peptidases on S.I. walls convert peptides into a.a.. These are absorbable.
|
|
Lipases
|
convert triglycerides to monoglycerides and free fatty acids.
|
|
Micelles
|
combinations of bile salts from the liver and fats. They will migrate to the mucosale cell membranes.
|
|
Vitamins
|
Fat soluble-A,D,E, and K enter the body thru the lymph and are stored in adipose tissue. don't need daily.
Water Soluble are excreted daily so you need to take them daily. travel by the portal vein. B and C. |
|
BER
|
a burst of AP's when reach threshold. AP's produce a contraction in the GI tract.
|
|
MMC
|
near the end of digestion-increase osmolarity chyme at end of meal squeezes unabsorbed content to the L.I. cleans out S.I so it's ready for the next meal.
