Anatomy and Physiology for real Flashcards
Microscopic Anatomy
Anatomy of things that can only been seen with a microscope
Gross Anatomy
Anatomy of things that can be seen with the naked eye
Developmental Anatomy
The study of embryos from fertilization to adulthood
Systemic Anatomy
Study of specific systems of the body
Atoms
Identical building blocks for each element
Why are cells considered the smallest unit of living ?
Capable of carrying out all life processes necessary for all living things
Acid
Hydrogen
Base
Hydroxide
Ionic bonds
Transfer of Electrons
Can also be called Electolyes because provides an electric current
Charge depends on loss or gain of electrons
Salts are Ionic Bonds
Covalent Bonds
Share Electrons
Polar or Non Polar
Mixture
Two or more items physically mixed together not chemically bound
Compound
Two or more different kind of atoms bonded together chemically bound
Glycogen
How Carbohydrates are stored in the liver and skeletal muscle
Fibrous Proteins
Provide mechanical support and tensile strength
Monosaccharides
One sugar
Disaccharides
Two sugars
Polysaccharides
Many Sugars
Phospholipids
Modified Triglycerides
Head and Tail have different properties
Important in Cell Membrane Structure
Phospholipid Bilayer
a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. These membranes are flat sheets that form a continuous barrier around all cells.
Mitosis
Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells.
Do cancer cells undergo apetosis
No
What would happen to cell in pure water
Hypotonic
Concentration Gradient
Higher the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of diffusion.
Uracil
Only with RNA
Crenation
The contraction of, or formation of abnormal notchings around, the edges of a cell after exposure to a hypertonic solution, due to the loss of water through osmosis, especially noticeable in red blood cells.
Diffusion
Wrong answer which is right ansswer is Carrier Mediated
D
Aquaporin
intrinsic membrane proteins characterized by six transmembrane helices that selectively allow water or other small uncharged molecules to pass along the osmotic gradient.
G1 Phase
Growth
S Phase
Synthesis Replication
G2
Growth
Basement Membrane
a special type of extracellular matrix that lines the basal side of epithelial and endothelial tissues.
Edema
swelling caused by too much fluid trapped in the body’s tissues.
Epithelial Tissue
Protect from abrasion
