A&P lab exam 1 Flashcards
what does random movement and collisions do?
causes molecules to become evenly distributed
isotonic
no net osmosis
some concentration in and out
hypertonic
higher concentration solutes
cell losses water
shrivels up
hypotonic
lower concentration solutes
cell gains water
lyse
why do red blood cells lack mitochondria and organelles
so they don’t use oxygen
phagocytosis
cell eating
has receptors
pinocytosis
cell drinking
cells of intestines
nonspecific
receptor-mediated
highly specific
insulin binds to receptors (enzymes, cholesterol, hormones)
lower molecular weight diffuses faster or slower?
faster
classification of epithelia
squamous, cuboidal, columnar
simple squamous
quick diffusion (lungs)
simple cuboidal
secretion & absorption (urinary system –> kidneys)
simple columnar
absorption (digestive system)
stratified squamous
protection (integumentary -> skin)
stratified cuboidal
protection (glands)
stratified columnar
protection & secretion (reproductive system)
seudo-stratified columnar
filters air with cilia (trachea)
transitional epithelial
no specific shape
stretches bladder
layers of integumentary system
epidermis
dermis
sebaceous layer (hypodermis)
stratum corner
outermost layer
dead skin
