- thoracic cavity
- pleural and pericardial (lungs & heart)
- abdominopelvic cavity
The dorsal cavity includes
- cranial cavity
* Vertebral cavity
The pelvic cavity includes
*bladder
the space between the visceral and parietal membranes that have serous fluid
pericardial space
A membrane lines the cavity walls or can line the outside wall of an organ
visceral membrane
A membrane that covers the organs in the cavity
parietal membrane
A type of compound that always contain hydrogen and carbon
organic compound
A type of compound that does not always contain hydrogen and carbon
inorganic compounds
A change in electron
ion
a change in neutron
isotope
Has phospholipids
cell membrane
What do enzymes do?
speed up the process or reaction (more energy)
What do proteins function as?
carriers channels receptors enzymes anchoring identifiers
What do carbohydrates function as?
lubricants
receptors
….
What are substances that diffuse?
O2
CO2
H20
the staudy of body part structures
Anatomy
the study of the function of the body
Physiology
What are the levels of the structural organization?
Chemical Cellular Tissue Organ Organ System Organismal
maintenance of relatively stable internal conditions despite continuous changes in the environment
Homeostasis
Components of a control mechanism
receptor
control center
effector
monitors environment and response to stimuli (change in controlled variables)
receptor
receives input from the receptor and determines the appropriate response
control center
receives output from the control center responding by reducing stimulus (negative feedback) or enhancing stimulus (positive feedback)
effector
the smallest functional unit (3 subatomic particles *protons, neutrons, electrons)
atom
cannot be broken down without losing their chemical properties
element
What are the 6 elements that make up most living things?
oxygen carbon hydrogen nitrogen calcium phosphorus
two or more atoms bond together to form (organic or inorganic)
molecule
protons + neutrons
mass number
different forms of the same element that have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons
isotopes
Electron shells
1st shell- 2 electrons
2nd shell- up to 8 electrons
3rd shell and up-up to 7
An electron shell is stable with how many electrons
8
molecules with 2 or more different elements
compounds
What are the types of atomic bonds
- Covalent
- polar
- nonpolar
- Ionic
- Hydrogen
when two atoms share electrons it forms what kind of bond?
covalent bond
when two atoms share electrons equally
nonpolar covalent bond
when two atoms that form a covalent bond are different, share electrons unequally, one atom may have a stronger pull
polar covalent bond
when two atoms that form a covalent bond are different, and share electrons unequally, one atom may have a stronger pull
polar covalent bond
when the draw on one atom is stronger than the other, electrons may be transferred from one atom to another, and atoms lose or gain electrons having a plus or minus charge
ionic bonds
an atom that loses an electron has a positive charge
cation
an atom that gains an electron has a negative charge
anion
a weak bond that forms between H+ and a molecule with a negative charge (found in water, proteins, and nucleic acids)
Hydrogen bonds
