Describe the levels of cellular organization and state the four types of specialized cells and tissues.
|
Classified according to function
Mucsle, epithelial, nervous, connective |
Organs form systems, systems form groups of organs that function together to form an organism
|
|
List the organ systems of the body and give one-sentence descriptions of their functions.
|
Circulatory- transports blood
Digestive- digestion and absorption of nutrients and water Endocrine- reg and coordination of many activities Immune- defense against pathogens Intedumentary- protects against injury, dehydration and foreign invaders lymphatic- collects and returns fluid Musculoskeletal- supports and protects the body and movement |
Nervous-reg and coord. body activities, detects change internal and external environ. allows for cognition and learning
Reproductive- produces sperm/ produces eggs Respiratory- exhange of O2/CO2 to and from cells and blood Urinary- reg. plasma concent. of minerals and water excretes waste |
|
2 fluids that constitute extracellular fluid
|
Plasma fluid portion of blood 20-25%
Interstitial fluid 75-80% |
|
|
State the relative volumes of water in the body fluid compartments
|
water 55-60% normal body wieght
2/3 intracellular 1/3 extracellular |
|
|
Describe several important generalizations about homeostatic control systems
|
Perform regulatory response to preseve relatively stable conditions of internal envrionment
|
a) Stability of an internal environmental variable- by balancing inputs and outputs
b) Nevagive feedmack- brings about a response that moves in direction opposite of original change- minimizes change from set point c) homeostatic control systems minimize change in internal environment- not constant, but dynamic d) can be reset- raised or lowered e) hierarchy of importance for control |
|
Contrast feedforward and negative feedback
|
feedforward- adaptive response in anticipation of a change in environment before homeostais is affected. minimizes fluctuations
|
Negative feedback- response that tends to be after there has been a chang in the environment- restores to normal set point
|
|
Components of reflex arc
|
Stimulus
Receptor Afferent pathway affector Integration center Effector Response Efferent pathway |
|
|
Difference between local homeostatic response and relfex arc
|
In a reflex, nerves, or hormones act as the different efferent or afferent pathways. local repsonse- long distance control is not necessary
|
|
|
List general categories for intercellular messangers
|
neurotransmitter, hormone, and autorcrine/paracrine glands
|
|
|
Describe conditions under whic acclimatizaton occur. In what period of life are they irreversible? Passed down to offspring?
|
Improved ability to respond to environmental stress, over time. Irreversible in early life. Not genetic
|
|
|
Under what circumstances can circadian ryhthms be free running?
|
in the absence of cues- constant darkness or light
|
|
|
How do phase shifts occur?
|
When you shift to a different light/dark cycle
|
|
|
What is the most important environmetal cue for entrainment of body rhythms?
|
the light/dark cycle
|
|
|
What are the three possible states of total-body balance of any chemical?
|
Negative- loss is more than gain
Positive- gain is more than loss Stable- if equal |
|
|
Describe electrical charge, mass and location fo the three major subatomic particles in an atom
|
Proton-positive, in nucleus
Electron-negative, in orbital shells Neutron- no charge, in nucleus |
|
|
Which 4 kinds of atoms are most abundant in the body?
|
Hydrogen (63%)
Oxygen ( 26%) Carbon (9%) Nitrogen (1%) |
|
|
Describe distinguishing characteristics of the three classes of essential chemical elements found in the body
|
Major-O, H, C, N 99.3%
7 essential minerals- mosted abundant substances dissolved in the body fluids 13 trace elements are present in small quantities but are essential for normal body functions |
|
|
How many covalent bonds can be formed by carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen
|
Carbon= 4
Nitrogen= 3 Oxygen = 2 Hydrogen= 1 |
|
|
What property of molecules allow then to change their 3D shape
|
they are not rigid, they can rotate around thier covalent bonds to form different shapes
|
|
|
Describe how an ion is formed
|
When an atom eigher gains or loses one or more electrons
gain= cation lose= anion |
|
|
draw the structures of an ionized carboxyl group and an ionoized amino group
|
O
II R - C - O Carboxyl R-COO |
Amino Acid R-NH3+
H I+ R - N - H I H |
|
Define free radical
|
Contains a single unpaired electron in outermost shell
highly reactive |
|
|
Describe polar characteristics ofa water molecule
|
(+) (-) (+)
H O H Hydrogen bonds are polar, oxygen has 8 times as many protons as H, it draws the shared electrons closer to it's nucleus |
|
|
What determines a molecules' solubility or lack of solubility in water?
|
Soluble- polarized or ionized, must be hydrophilic
Insoluble- nonpolar, hydrophobic |
|
|
Describe organization of amphipatic molecues in water
|
Hydrophilic heads clustered to outside and hydrophobic heads situated on inside away from water
|
|
|
What is the molar concentration of 80 g glucose in 2L water?
|
Molecular weight is 180 g/mole
180/80 g glucoes = .44 mole glucose/ 2L water = .22 mole/L |
|
|
What distinguishes a strong acid from a weak acid?
|
Strong acids are completely ionized in water, weak acids are not
|
|
|
What effect does increase in pH of a solution have upon the ionization of a carboxyl group?
amino acid |
alters the net electrical charge by shifting reaction to the right or left
when you add more H+ to weak acid and weak base it increases the ionization of the weak acid and decreases the ionization of the weak base |
|
