Chapter 1 Flashcards
six levels of organization in anatomy
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
movement caused by kinetic energy
kinetic motion
a chemical reaction is more likely to occur at a higher or lower temperature
higher
when evenly distributed, kinetic motion is equal in all directions and the particles are said to be in…
dynamic equilibrium
net movement
more particles move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration and vice versi (the particles are said to move with their concentration gradient)
diffusion
the net movement of a substances particles with their concentration gradient
pressure causes what
filtration
filtration
the movement of particles across a membrane due to a pressure gradient (it will not be filtered if it cannot cross the membrane)
basic cell functions
essential for cell survival and thus survival of the body
ex: producing ATP
specialized cell function
performed by only one or a few types of cells
ex: contraction
specialized functions make it possible for cells to perform their basic functions
homeostasis
maintaining variables of the internal environment within normal ranges
basic or specialized cell functions maintain variables of the internal environment
specialized
the functions certain cells perform to move air into and out of your lungs are basic or specialized functions
specialized
another name for internal environment is
extracellular fluid
anatomy
form and arrangement of body parts
kinetic energy
energy of motion
kinetic motion
movement caused by kinetic energy
dynamic equilibrium
kinetic motion equal in all directions
concentration gradient
unevenly distriputed particles
net movement
moving from an area of higher conc. to lower concentration
true or false: kinetic motion and diffusion are synonyms?
false
true or false: all particles move with their concentration gradient
false
the direction of diffusion depends on what
the concentration gradient
pressure gradient
movement from area of higher pressure to lower pressure
internal environment
fluid that surrounds the cells
extra cellular fluid is composed of
blood and interstitial fluid
intracellular fluid
fluid found within the cell
solution
a mixture of a solvent and one or more solutes
