Exam 3 Flashcards
diffusion
The random movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.
osmosis
The spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane
solution
water
solute
the substance that is dissolved in a solution
passive transport
particles will diffuse down a concentration gradient, from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration
concentration gradient
occurs when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another.
hormones
singular molecule, produced by certain cells that tell other cells what to do under specific situation’s.
feedback regulation
the system varies from the set-point, hormones, restore, balance.
antagonistic hormones
balance each other (ex. Control blood sugar.) poor bones involved are insulin and glucose.
insulin
causes blood sugar levels to go down
glucagon
causes blood sugar levels to go up
type one diabetes
is a genetic condition that often shows up early in life
type two diabetes
lifestyle-related and developed overtime
external defense
keeps pathogens from entering the body
physical barriers
skin, lining of mouth, nose, lungs, vagina
chemical barriers
stomach acid, tears, sweat, urine
innate immune system
the first line of defense, recognize self from non self
adaptive immune system
pathogen-specific response
neutrophils + phagocytes
destroy any non self pathogen, eat infected cells
b cells
make antibodies
t cells
kill body cells that are flagged as infected
antibodies
recognize specific cell surface proteins of invader and bind to it
memory cells
hang around prime body activating system and creates memory cells
vaccine types
inactivated and mRNA vaccines
flu vaccine
inject dead virus or just surface protein
mRNA vaccine
antigen code triggers immune response
components of blood
92% water, dissolved gas, small molecule, special cells
