What are the 3 characteristics of living organisms?
- Structurally Complex - Microscope
- Extract, Convert, & Use Energy
- Ability to replicate
What is the Genetic Central Dogma?
DNA (replication) DNA (transcription) RNA (Translation) Amino Acids –> Protein
What are the 4 concepts of the disease process?
- Etiology - The Cause
- Pathogenesis - The Beginning of the Disease
- Morphological Changes - Cellular or Physical Tissue Changes
- Functional Changes - No longer works
What are the 6 macro molecules of human life?
- Carbohydrates (primary fuel source)
- Lipids (Fats)
- Proteins (3rd fuel source, make up all other structures)
- Minerals (cofactors, electrolytes - electricity K+)
- Vitamins (cofactors, fat soluble, water soluble, vital amines)
- Water (facilitate all biochemical reactions)
What are the 11 different physiological systems?
- Skeleton
- Cardiovascular
- Respiratory
- Digestion
- Urinary
- Brain & Central Nervous System (CNS)
- Skeletal Muscle
- Integumentary
- Immune System
- Reproduction
- Endocrine
What is the Cell Doctrine Theory?
- 1838 Schleiden & Schwann
-Cell is Basic Unit of Life
-Cell –> Tissues –> Organs –> System –> Organism
-All cells arise from pre-existing cells (Cell Replication)
-All 11 physiological systems are designed to facilitate the cells needs - 1872 Claude Bernard
-The interior of the cell is fixed and stable - 1929 Walter Cannon
-Coined Team Homeostasis (02, pH, Temp, Etc…)
What is Homeostasis?
Internal and external environment of the cell must be maintained in a stable unchanging, constant condition.
What are the elements that make up all biological systems?
- Hydrogen (H)
- Oxygen (O)
- Nitrogen (N)
- Sulfur (S)
- Carbon (C)
- Phosphate Ion (PO43-)
- Sodium (Na+)
- Potassium (K+)
- Calcium (Ca2+)
- Chloride (Cl-)
What are Hydrogens bonding characteristics?
-Missing 1 electron
-Can make 1 single bond
-In building form (wants to share)
What are Oxygens bonding characteristics?
-Missing 2 electrons
-Can make 2 single bonds
-Involved in Cellular Aerobic Respiration
What are Sulfurs bonding characteristics?
-Missing 2 electrons
-Can make 2 bonds
-Disulfide Bond (bind or connect proteins together to build structures)
What are Nitrogen’s bonding characteristics?
-Missing 3 electrons
-Can make 3 bonds
-Cyclic Rings (makes ring structures carefully – DNA, RNA, Vitamins)
What are Carbons bonding characteristics?
-Missing 4 electrons
-Can make 4 bonds
-Best building material (backbone to living structures)
What are Phosphate Ions bonding characteristics?
Stored energy in high energy bonds (Anhydride Bond)
What are Sodium’s bonding characteristics?
- Na+ = Water = Pressure
- Hypernatremia = Hypervolemia = Hypertension
- Hyponatremia = Hypovolemia = Hypotension
What are Potassium’s bonding characteristics?
- K+ = Electricity
- Hyperkalemia = Increased Electrical Activity
- Hypokalemia = Decreased Electrical Activity
What are Calcium’s bonding characteristics?
- Involved in every muscle contraction
- Involved in every nerve conduction
- Involved in most intracellular communication
- Raw material to make hydroxyapatite (Bone)
#’s 1-3= Metabolic Activity
What is Chlorides bonding characteristics?
Helps as pH buffer by swapping with HCO3-
(Law of Equivalent Exchange)
What is the 1st component of physiological homeostatic systems?
Parameter: The item that is homeostatically regulated
-Normal range is healthy/normal
–Different based on gender, age, and condition
What is the 2nd component of physiological homeostatic systems?
Sensing Structures: The physical structures that monitor, assess, & measure the parameters.
-Cell populations (small)
-Glands (medium)
-Organs (large)
What is the 3rd component of physiological homeostatic systems?
Signals: The unique communication between the sensing structures and the structures responsible for returning/correcting the parameters back to normal.
1. Chemical : Hormone (Slow Communication)
2. Electrical : Nerve (Instant Communication)
What is the 4th component of physiological homeostatic systems?
Corrections: Positive & Negative Feedback Systems
-Includes physical structures and their pathways that correct or return the parameter back to normal and then shuts off.
