Anatomy Chapter 2 Flashcards
Matter
stuff, takes up space, solid, liquid, gas
Energy
measured by work done on matter, kinetic/potential energy, forms of energy
What are the different forms of energy?
chemical, electrical, mechanical, radiant
What is the main form of energy in the body?
Chemical energy from food is ATP which is made from the mitochondria
Inorganic compound water
most abdundant, 2/3 of body weight, properties:high heat capacity, polarity, chemical reactivity, cushioning, found in blood vessels, cytoplasm, cytosol, fluid between cells
inorganic compound electrolytes
salts, dissociate into cations/anions, conduct electricity, sodium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, potassium
Inorganic compounds acids/bases
acids=release H+(proton donors), bases=have OH-(proton acceptors)
Carbohydrates
3 types- monosaccharide:glucose, blood sugar, source of energy
Disaccharide:sucrose(table sugar)
polysaccharide: glycogen
The stored form of glucose is
glycogen
Lipids
do not dissolve in polar liquids, not dissolve in nonpolar liquids
3 types:
Triglycerides: glycerol+3 fatty acids, used for energy storage, saturated/unsaturated,main energy storage of fat
Phospholipids: 2 fatty acid/1 phospholipids group, make up cell membrane, essenital part of myelin sheath
Cholesterol: steroid, 4 ringed, used to create hormones, part of cell membrane, animal products
What is the cell membrane composed of
phospholipids and cholesterol
Proteins
amino acids are building blocks for proteins, structural, regulatory, contractile, transport, immunological, catalytic
Cell theory
cell is the smallest structural/functional living unit, organismal functions depend on individual/collective cell functions
Human cell has 3 basic parts
nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane
Nucleus
not an organelle, control center and contains cellular DNA, all cells except red blood cells have nucleus, structures include envelope, nucleoli, chromatin
cytoplasm
located between plasma membrane and nucleus, has cytosol, cytoplasmic organelles, inclusions, intercellular fluid (ICF)
cytosol
water with solutes, liquid part
inclusions
granules of glycogen or pigments, liquid droplets, vacuoles, and crystals
golgi apparatus
packs proteins and fats and ships them to other parts of the cell
lysosomes
important for destruction of bacteria, viruses, toxins, and injured or non useful tissue
mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell, generate ATP by burning nutrients
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
transports proteins to golgi apparatus, has ribosomes
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
site of liquid/steroid synthesis, no ribosomes
ribosomes
attaches to rough ER, actual site of protein synthesis
Plasma Membrane
phospholipids/cholesterol, separates ECF from ICF, selectively permeable
Membrane proteins
integral, peripheral
