Q

Cardiac Cycle

A
  • Deoxygenated blood from body flows into the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cava
  • Right atrium contracts pumping blood through tricuspid valve into the right ventricle
  • RV contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open as blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery
  • Oxygenated blood flows into left atrium via the pulmonary veins
  • the left atrium contracts to pump blood through mitral valve into the left ventricle
  • left ventricle contracts allowing blood to be pumped into the aorta and around the body

34
Q

Chemical digestion of protein, carbohydrates and lipids

A

Proteins - Peptides and AA
Carbs - Monosaccharides
Lipids - Fatty Acids and glycerol

35
Q

process of deamination

A

Deamination is the removal of an amine group from a molecule.
Occurs in the liver
Amino acid undergoes transamination in which glutamate is produced which is deaminated forming the ammonium group

36
Q

Formation of Urine

A

Occurs in nephron
Blood enters through the afferent arteriole into the bowmans capsule
in the bowmans capsule blood is filtered out from the capillaries and the filtrate is formed
It then goes through the Proximal Convoluted Tubule where Na, K and Cl are reabsorbed alongside water and amino acids
Then it goes through the loop of henle where water and Na ions are reabsorbed into the bloodstream
Finally, it goes through the distal convoluted tubule where water and glucose are filtered out
The filtrate then exits through the collecting duct before reaching the urethra

37
Q

Sliding Filament Theory

A

Mechanism by which muscles are though to contract
Muscles-> Muscle Fibres->myofibrils-> sarcomere->actin and myosin

Acetylcholine causes depolarization which releases calcium which binds to tropomyosin. Myosin attaches to actin forming a crossbridge. The crossbridge is broken by the breakdown of atp which contracts the muscle. This process is repeated until the muscle is fully contracted

38
Q

types of joints

A

Fixed
Slightly Moveable
Freely Moveable

39
Q

DNA vs RNA

A

DNA -> Double stranded whereas RNA-> single stranded
DNA -> Deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA-> Ribonucleic acid
DNA-> nitrogenous bases are A,C,G,T whereas RNA -> A,C,G,U (uracil)
Function of DNA -> contains instructions for cell reproduction
Function of RNA -> mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

40
Q

Types of RNA

A

mRNA
tRNA
rRNA

41
Q

Transcription

A

o Transcription: the process of forming a strand of RNA from a strand of DNA
o Occurs in the nucleus
1. RNA polymerase binds to a site on the DNA molecule called the promoters
2. RNA polymerase separates the DNA strand (unzips them)
3. One strand of DNA is used as a template
4. New nucleotides are inserted according to the base pairing rules. When transcribing RNA, adenine pairs with uracil and cytosine pairs with guanine
5. This continues until the terminator is reached
6. As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA molecule, hydrogen bonds between the two strands are reformed
7. A single stranded RNA molecule has been transcribed

42
Q

Translation

A

o Translation: the process by which a protein is synthesised from the information contained in molecule of mRNA
o Has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination
1. In the nucleus, DNA transcribes RNA
2. The RNA is then sent to the cytoplasm in the form of mRNA
3. The mRNA attaches to a ribosome
4. As each codon of the mRNA molecule moves through the ribosome, the proper amino acid is brought into the ribosome by tRNA. The amino acids are linked up in the right order on the ribosome
5. The ribosome hitches the amino acids together with peptide bonds and polypeptides are made
6. Polypeptides are sent to the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus where they are modified and shaped into functioning proteins

43

44
Q

A

45
Q

Mitosis

A

Mitosis: type of cell division that results in two daughter cells

o Prophase:
 Nucleolus disappears
 Nuclear membrane breaks down
 Centrioles move to opposite poles
 Chromosomes appear as pair of chromatids
 Spindle formation
o Metaphase
 Nucleus dissolves
 The cell’s chromatids condense and move together
 Chromatids line up on the spindle at equator of cell
o Anaphase
 Chromatids separate (now chromosomes)
 Move to opposite ends of cell
o Telophase
 Spindle disappears
 Nucleoli and nuclear membranes reform

46
Q

Meiosis

A

o A type of cell division producing sex cells (gametes – sperm + ova)
o Has 2 rounds of PMAT
 1st division: reduction in chromosome number
 2nd division: separation of chromatids to form chromosomes
o Prophase 1:
 Pairs of chromatids become visible
 Nuclear membrane disappears and centrioles move to opposite poles
 Crossing over of homologous chromosomes occur
o Metaphase 1:
 Pairs of chromosomes live themselves up along the middle of the cell
o Anaphase 1:
 Spindle fibres from the centrioles are attached to chromosomes and begin to pull them to opposite ends of the cell
o Telophase 1:
 Splitting into 2 cells + cytoplasm begins to split (cytokinesis)
o Prophase 2:
 Centrioles move to opposite ends of cells
 Spindle fibres form
o Metaphase 2:
 Chromatids line up at the equator
o Anaphase 2:
 Spindle fibres pull chromatids to opposite ends of cells (now called chromosomes)
o Telophase 2:
 cytoplasm divides to form another 2 cells (total of 4 cells)

47
Q

Mitosis Vs Meiosis

A

Differences:
Mitosis
- 2 identical daughter cells
- 46 chromosomes (diploid)
- Function; growth and repair
- Somatic daughter cells produced

Meiosis
- 4 different daughter cells
- 23 chromosomes (haploid)
- Function; production of gametes
- Gametes produces

Sim:
Mitosis and meiosis take place in the cell nuclei.
Both involve cell division.

A
49
Q

A
50
Q

oogenesis

A

o Oogenesis: production of ovum
o Occurs in the ovaries
o Oogonia are diploid cells that divide by mitosis to form a primary oocyte (diploid)
o Primary oocyte (diploid) undergoes the first stage of mitosis to form 1 secondary oocyte (haploid)
o Secondary oocyte undergoes second stage of mitosis, which results in 2 cells of unequal size
 Larger cell develops into an ovum
 Smaller cell is the 2nd polar body
o The first polar body undergoes second meiotic division to form the 2 additional polar bodies

51
Q

spermatogenesis

A

o Spermatogenesis: the production of sperm
o Occurs inside the seminiferous tubules of each testis
o Primary spermatocytes undergo the first stage of mitosis – produces 2 secondary spermatocytes (haploid)
o 2 secondary spermatocytes produce 2 haploid spermatids each
o Results in 4 spermatids (haploid)
o Final stage involves the maturation of spermatids to spermatozoa

52
Q

Menstrual cycle

A
  • Menstruation 1-4 days Uterine bleeding, accompanied by shedding of the endometrium
  • Preovulation 5-12 days Endometrial repair begins
    Development of ovarian follicle
    Uterine lining gradually thickens
  • Ovulation 13-15 days Rupture of mature follicle
    Releasing of egg
  • Secretion 16-20 days Secretion of watery mucus by glands of endometrium, cervix and fallopian tubes
    Movement and breakdown of unfertilised egg
    Development of corpus luteum
  • Premenstruation 21-28 days Degeneration of corpus luteum
    Deterioration of endometrium
53
Q

Hormones

A

o FSH (follicle stimulating hormone):
 Produced in the pituitary gland
 Targets the ovaries and testes
Stimulates production of ova and oestrogen secretion by ovaries
 Stimulates production of sperm by testes
o LH (luteinising hormone):
 Produced in the pituitary gland
 Targets ovaries and testes
 Stimulates secretion of oestrogen by ovaries
 Stimulates ovulation and formation of corpus luteum
 Stimulates production of progesterone by corpus luteum, stimulates testosterone production by testes
o Oestrogen:
 Produced in the ovaries, placenta, and testes
 Targets uterus, vagina, and breasts
 Stimulates the development, thickening and vascularisation of endometrium
 Produces female secondary characteristics
o Progesterone: produced in the corpus luteum and placenta
 Targets the endometrium of the uterus
 Maintains the thick and spongy endometrium
 Stimulates development of mammary gland
