What is the difference between anatomy and physiology |
Anatomy is the study of the body's structure Physiology is the study of the functions |
Structure and function |
|
|
How does structure relate to fiction |
The structure determines the function |
Your arm moves because it's made that way |
|
|
What is homeostasis? |
any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. |
Self reeducation. Stability, survival |
|
|
What is positive and negative feedback? |
Negative is when things in your body is solved so it gets stopped. Positive feedback is when things need to keep going |

|
What is the general dogma of biology? |
Dna turns to Rna and Rna makes proteins |
|
|
|
Why is water so great |
High heat capacity, high heat vaporization, polar solvent-things dissolve inside, reactivity, cushioning |
|
|
|
What is salt |
A ionic compound containing cations other that H(+) and OH |
|
|
|
What are the organic compounds? |
Nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, Carbohydrates |
|
|
|
What are nucleic Acids made up of |
ATCG |
|
|
|
What is Dna |
Double stranded ATCG in nucleus that had the basic instructions for every protein in the body. Determines what kind of organism you see |
|
|
|
What is RNA? |
Single stranded AUCG from the cytoplasm that carries DNA's orders to make proteins |
|
|
|
What proteins made of? |
Amino acids |
|
|
|
What is a enzyme? |
Proteins that act like a catalyst. |
|
|
|
Lipids |
Non polar so they can't dissolve in water |
|
|
|
What are the three carbohydrates? |
-monosaccharides- one carbohydrate -disaccharides-two put together Polysaccharide-more than two. Provides energy |
|
|
|
What is the function of the plasma membranes? |
Protect inside of cell. Transport things in and out of the cell. |
|
|
|
What are the parts of the plasma membrane? |
Hydrophilic tail , hydrophilic head, lipids, proteins span the membrane |
|
|

What is the cytoplasm location |
Between the plasma membrane and the nucleus |
|
|
|
What is the mitochondrias location and function? |
The power house, it produces power/ATP. |
|
|
|
Ribosomes location and function |
Located in the cytoplasm and rough er Function is to make proteins |
|
|
|
What is the function and look of the rough er |
Function: preps proteins to levee cell and makes lipids for the plasma membrane It had hooked in it but looks more straight and organized |
|
|
|
What is the function and look of the smooth er |
Function: important in muscle contraction Looks squiggly |
|
|
|
What is the golgi apparatus function? |
To package proteins, lips, etc that were made in the rough er. |
|
|
|
What are the functions of lysosomes? |
Garbage disposal. Digest unwanted things in the cells through enzymes |
|
|
|
What is the function of the cytoskeleton? |
Supports cell structure and movement |
|
|
|
What is the function of the nucleus? |
Holds all genetic information. Control center for the cell. |
|
|
|
What are the three types of muscles. |
Cardiac, skeletal, smooth |
|
|
|
Skeletal muscle function |
To move the skeleton |
|
|
|
Purpose of nerves and blood in the system. |
Blood brings the oxygen, takes away the waste. Nerves stimulates the muscle |
