What are 4 Themes
- Structure and function are closely related, 1. living organisms need energy, 3. information, flow, coordinates, body functions, 4. homeostasis, maintains internal stability 
Pathophysiology
The study of body functions in a disease state 
Diabetes Melli tus
A metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally high blood glucose concentrations 
Extracellular fluid
The transition between an organisms, external environment, and the internal environment of a cell or the intracellular fluid . Such as blood plasma, interstitial fluid and cerebral spinal fluid
Intracellular fluid
The fluid inside of the extra cellular fluid
Law of mass balance
The amounts of a substance in the body is your mean constant any gain must be offset by equal loss 
Physiology
The field of biology of how scientist study as a body Works
Intracelular fluid
The body has millions of trillions of cells that work together. The cells need to transports and receive materials between their internal and X in environments.
Extracellular fluid
The external compartment of a outer cell
Homeostasis
The bodies ability to keep a steady state either from internal or external factors
Equilibrium
When the molecular composition, Cellular compartments, have two, compartments, identical
Disequilibrium
When each compartments that is adjacent to another, is very difference in concentration of molecules or ion
Pathophysiology
The study of diseases in body functions
Mechanistic
The how process. Science story telling
Teleological
The why, who needs it, why is it needed description of parts
Neutron
Subatomic particles with no charge
Proton
Subatomic particle with a positive charge
Altering the # of ___ in a atom will either create a positive or negative charge atom
Electrons
Atomic mass
On the periodic table, The ___ indicates the # of protons plus the # of neutrons(bottom # on periodic table)
On the periodic table the ,___ describes the # of protons of each element( top number on periodic table)
Atomic #
When an atom or molecule loses or gained a electron. Atom with a electric charge
Ion
When a atom gained a electron, becomes negatively charged.
Anion
Cation
When a atom loses one or more electron. Positively charged
Ionic bond
An attraction (+-) between atoms that where one loses and electron and the other gains. These bonds easily break in a watery environment
Free radical
An atom with a unpaired electron which is highly reactive and toxic to human cells
Covalent bond
A bond where electrons are shared between atoms that are very strong. Only enzymes, intense heat can split these bonds
Polar
Types of molecules that are positively charged on one side and negatively charged the other. They dissolve in water.
Non-polar
Types of molecules that have no difference in charge on the surface and do not dissolve in water
Aqueos solution
A solution where water is the solvent
Hydrogen bond
The description of water surface tension that is fairly weak where polar molecules are attracted to each other
Ph
The concentrated measurement of hydrogen ions in a solution
Acidic
A number lower than 7 indicates a____ solution, when considering Ph
Buffer
Description of molecules like bicarbonate or phosphate that helps maintain pH by removing excess H+ ions from a solution or donating H+ ions to solution when their concentration is too low
Concentration
Amount of solute per unit of volume of solution is a measurement of a solutions ___
Control group
A group to be the basis for comparison. This group is not manipulated and does not experience any type of independent variable
Scientific theory
Scientist in different areas & diverse disciplines come to the same conclusion to a specific phenomenon
Hypothesis
The initial prediction made by a scientist between two or more variables that help guide the design of a experiment
Subatomic particle with a negative electric charge
Electron
