Normal range
•fluctuation around the set point, maintaining homeostasis
Negative feedback
•brings values back to set point
Positive feedback
- moves variable away from set point

Cavities of the body
- mediastinum
- thoracic
- abdominopelvic
Mediastinum
- esophagus
- trachea
- blood vessels
- thymus
- heart
Thoracic
Lungs
Lung cavity
Plural cavity
Heart cavity
Pericardial cavity
Abdominopelvic cavity
Peritoneal cavity
Mesenteries
- two layers of peritoneum
* connect visceral peritoneum of subabdominopelvic organs together
Retroperitoneal
Organs not connected by mesentaries
•attached to body wall
Where is the peritoneal cavity?
- between the visceral peritoneum and parietal peritoneum
* in abdominopelvic cavity
Serious membranes
- line the trunk cavities and cover organs
- visceral is inner
- parietal is outer
Pericardial cavity
•around heart
Pleural cavity
- covers lungs
- parietal pleura line inner surface thoracic wall, lateral surfaces of the mediastinum, and the superior surface of the diaphragm
Phospholipids
- double layer assembled to make a lipid bilayer
- polar hydrophilic head
- nonpolar hydrophobic tail
Cholesterol
- 1/3 of lipid in membrane
* the amount of cholesterol determines fluid nature of membrane
Plasma membrane
•forms outer boundary of cell, through which the cells interacts with its external environment
Nucleus
- directs cell activity
- most of which happen in cell cytoplasm
- organelles in plasma membrane
3 functional characteristics of cells
- metabolism and energy use
- synthesis of molecules
- communication
Integral protein
•penetrate into bilayer
Peripheral proteins
- attached to either the inner or outer surface
* contain regions made of amino acids with hydrophilic R groups
Market molecules
•allow cells to identify other cells or molecules
Glycoproteins
- market molecules
* proteins with attached carbohydrates
Glycolipids
- market molecules
* lipids with attached carbs
Cadherins

Gated ion channels
- can be opened or closed
* takes electrical or chemical signal
Electrical signal used to open or close gated ion channel:
Ligand
•small proteins that bind to then protons or glycoproteins
•called ligand gated ion channels
Passive transport
- no energy necessary
* inc: uniport, symport, antiport
Carrier proteins
•move ions or molecules from one side of plasma membrane to another
Uniporter

* ion pumps
3 membrane rules
- H20 gets across slowly

- large molecules don’t stress
Glycocalyx
- identify function
* adhesion function
Osmosis
- diffusion of water over a selectively permeable membrane
* aquaporins (water channel proteins) increase membrane permeability
Isotonic
•solute is equal In and outside of cell
Hypertonic solution
Placed in solution and water flows out of cell
•cell shrinks
Hypotonic solution
- placed into solution and water moves into cell
- more solute in cell
- cell expands
Lysis
Ruptured cell, due to excess water
Secondary active transport
- active transport of ion out if cell
- establishing a concentration gradient
- the tendency for ions to move back in is greater
- other ion uses that energy to re enter cell with ion
