Cell Structure and Function, Body cavities, and body sections
What is Central Dogma?
DNA to RNA to Protein
What 4 things make up a cell?
Structure, Communication, Waste, and Nutrients
What 4 things does a cell membrane do?
Communicates, has Selective Permeability, has an electrochemical gradient, and is a physical barrier
Membrane is made out of proteins with ___ heads and ___ tails.
Hydrophilic heads and Hydrophobic tails
Kinds of Passive Transport
Passive transport uses no ATP. Simple, facilitated, osmosis, filtrative
Kinds of Active Transport
Uses ATP. Primary, Secondary, vesicular, exo, trans, endo
A hypertonic solution leads to…
Crenation
An isotonic solution leads to…
Nothing, it is stable
A hypotonic solution leads to…
Lysis
Integral receptors interact with the cell membrane how?
They are structural and go all the way through the membrane.
Peripheral receptors interact with the cell membrane how?
They are one-sided.
How are G-protein receptors activated?
By kinases, but indirectly.
Primary function of the nucleus
Stores DNA
What is the nucleolus?
Where most DNA is stored
mRNA
messenger RNA
tRNA
transfer RNA
rRNA
rhibosomal
Difference between cytoplasm and cytosol?
Cytoplasm contains organelles, cytosol is just the fluid
Types of nonbound organelles
Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments, microtubules
ER and its two functions
Endoplasmic Riticulum, rough ER has rhibosomes, smooth ER creates hormones
Can free rhibosomes exocytose?
No
What do mitochondria do?
They create ATP
What does the Golgi complex do?
It’s the last step for readying proteins.
What do lysosomes do?
Digest acidic substances
What do peroxosomes do?
They exist primarily in the kidney and liver, and they detoxify
What do cilia do?
They provide movement
What do flagella do?
They are tails for propulsion
What are the phases of cell division?
mitosis…G1…Interphase…G2…mitosis
What cavities lie within the thoracic cavity?
Pleural (lungs), Pericardial (heart), medastynum (bound by the first rib and the diaphragm)
Sections of the abdominal-pelvic cavity and what they contain
Abdominal cavity: liver, stomach, intestines
Pelvic cavity: part of lower intestine and internal reproductive organs
Parts of a serous membrane
Visceral (against organ), Serous fluid, Parietal (outside)
Pleural membrane
Surrounds lungs
Pericardial membrane
Surrounds heart
Peritenial membrane
Lines abdominal cavity

Left and Right Lumbar
Lower medial region
Hypogastric
Lower lateral regions
