exam 3 / quiz 6 Flashcards
anatomy
study of structure
physiology
study of function
4 types of tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
epithelial
covers + lines all organs + animals
- simple, stratified, cuboidal, columnar, squamous
connective
connects organs/ organ systems
ex. bone adipose(fat cells), blood, cartilage, tendons, ligaments
muscle
striated - involuntary contractions aka skeletal
cardiac - heart more white space / branching + intercolated disks(help coordinate contractions)
smooth - involuntary contractions, looks pink + purple
nervous
response to external/internal stimuli
cell connection (2)
endocrine and synaptic
signaling cell
synthesizes + secretes a signaling molecule (ligand)
target cell
receives signal + transduces signal + respond to signal w/ signal specific receptor
endocrine signaling
signaling cell —–> blood stream —-> target cell
signaling cell found in two places: endocrine glands (no ducts) and exocrine glands (w ducts, specific)
synaptic signaling
signal cell = neuron
cell body sends signals to target cell.
neurotransmitter ex. melatonin, serotonin
blood glucose levels (negative feedback loop)
stimuli: high blood glucose
signal cell: pancreas (b-islet)
signal: insulin
target cell: liver and body cells
response: uptake glucose—>glycogen —> blood glucose levels and uptake glucose —> ATP
stimuli: low blood glucose
signal cell: pancreas
signal: glycogen
target cell: liver
response: breaks down glycogen —> glucose + releases into blood –> makes blood glucose go up
danger(negative feedback loop)
stimuli: danger
signal cell: adrenal glands
signal: epinephrine
target cell: liver + blood vessels in your digestive track + blood vessels of muscle
response: releases glucose + blood glucose level = up / constrict + reduce blood flow to digestive track / dilatate + increase blood to muscles
stimuli: return to normal
signal cell: adrenal glands
signal: nor-epinephrine
target cell: blood vessels - digestive + muscles
response: dilatate + increase blood flow / constrict + lower blood flow
body temp (negative feedback loop)
stimuli: high body temp
signal cell: brain (hypothalamus sensors)
signal: n/a
target cell: blood vessels dilatate (lose heat + sweat glands)
response: heat loss = body temp lowered
stimuli: low body temp
signal cell: hypothalamic sensor
signal: n/a
target cell: activate contractions of striatal muscles (shivering) blood vessels constrict = retain heat
response: more heat
birth (positive feedback loop)
stimuli: baby pushing against cervix
signal cell: brain (posterior pituitary gland)
signal: oxytocin
target cell: smooth muscles of uterus
response: contract
Positive feedback loop
gets us to a point
Negative feedback loop
maintains homeostatis
animal energy
herbivores - plants “only” ex. cows
omnivores - plants + animals ex. pig/human
carnivores - animals “only” ex.bears
vitamins / mineral
vitamins = organic
minerals = inorganic
(3)diet must supply…
- energy (cellular respiration)
- organic molecules (monomers)
- essential nutrients
- ex. methionine - amino acid and linoleic acid - essential fatty acid for phospholipid layer
4 steps of food processing
- ingestion (food)
- digestion
- absorption of nutrients
- elimination of undigestibles
ingestion
food through mouth
digestion
mechanical - teeth + chewing
chemical (hydrolysis) liver aids, gallbladder stores what liver made.
- amylase (made by salivary glands)
- hydrolysis, breakdown of polymers –> monomers by addition of h2o
(bolus) –> via esophagus –> stomach –> mech: peristalsis (smooth muscles contract) of smooth muscle
chem: via gastric juices
production starts w/ gastrin
chief cells - make pepsinogen (inactive) —> active enzyme - peps
