Fall Final Flashcards

1
Q

Describe covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds and give an example of each.

A
  • Hydrogen bond- water; electropositive bond with electronegative oxygen; not a true bond
  • Covalent bond- carbon dioxide; electrons are shared equally
  • Ionic bond- Salt; na loses an electron, Cl gains and because opposite charges they attract

Q

Describe hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions as it applies to cells. What woud happen to a red blood cell place in each type of solution?

A
  • Hypotonic- the RBC would swell because water is rushing into the cell in order to equalize solute content
  • Isotonic- the RBC remains normal because the solute concentration is relatively equal
  • Hypertonic- RBC would shrivel up because the cell would force water out to equalize the solute concentration

Q

Name and describe three factors that affect chemical reaction rates.

A
  • Temperature increase- causes an increase in rates
  • Concentration increase- causes an increase in rates
  • Particle size decrease - causes an increase in rates

Q

Describe how the sodium-potassium pump works. Why is it so vital to cells?

A

The pump works against sodium and potassium gradients in order to maintain balance between the intracellular potassium and the extra sodium. It is important to cells becasue of the electrochemical gradient is cruical for the nerves and muscles. It also helps maintain fluid volume.

Q

List all of the stages of the cell cycle and briefly describe what happens in each.

A
  • Interphase- cell growth and developement
  • Prophase- nuclear envelope fragments, chromosome move towar the middle, microtubles form
  • Metaphase- chromosome line up in the middle
  • Anaphase- chromotid seperate, motor proteins pull them towards opposite poles
  • Telophase- opposite of phrophase, nucleus reappears, chromatin uncoil, microtubles dissappear, nucleoi appear
  • Cytokinesis- cytoplasm seperates at the cleavae furrow

Q

Describe a functional unit of bone including the structures found in it.

A

Osteon is the basic structural unit of compact bone.

  • Central canal- longitudinal opening that conatin vessels and nerves
  • Lamellae- rings that radiate from central canal
  • Lacunae- small pockets that are on the lamellae and holds osteocytes
  • Canaliculi radiates from lacuena;communicates between osteocytes and material matrix

Q

What are the functions of calcium in skeletal muscle contractions?

A
  • assists in the release of Ach
  • control the regulating protein trophin and tromyosin actin
17
Q

Describe each of the three types of skeletal muscle fibers. What types are more abundant in marathon runners vs. bodybuilders?

A
  • Slow oxidative
    • red
    • small diameter
    • many caparillies and mitochrondria
    • found in long distant runners
  • fast oxidative
    • redish- pink
    • intermediate diameter
    • many caparillaries and mitochrondria
    • found in runners
  • fast glycolitic
    • pale white
    • large diameter
    • few caparilleries and mitochrondria
    • found in bodybuilders
18
Q

Describe the different energy systesm used during sports and exercise. (tell me when each pathway would be used).

A
  • Muscles use ATP
    • from start to 10s mark
  • Muscle use aerobic endurance
    • from 10s to 30min
  • Muscles run on anaerobic
    • from 30min to the hour mark
    • Anaerobic thresold is at the hour mark
  • Muscles run on glycolysis
    • from 1hr mark to the end of exercise
19
Q

Name all the layers of skin (including the one found in thick skin) from the bottom to the top and give the function of each.

A

Stratum Corenum

  • protective layer of 40 cells
  • protectives against penetration/abrusion

Stratum lucidum

  • clear layer of dead cells that allows skin to stetch

Stratum grannulosum

  • where keritinazation/production occurs

Stratum spinosum

  • gives strength and flexibility

Stratum basale

  • actively dividing cells that replace all other layers

Dermis

  • gives strength and flexiability and blood supplyto epidermis

Hypodermis

  • holds fat and water and connects to the underlying tissues
20
Q

What is Wolff’s Law and what does it explain?

A

Wolff’s law defines how bones grow and rebuild. The law states that the bones will grow and remodel in order to meet the demands placed on it. This law explain why the bone density in a dominant arm or leg is greater than the other arm.

21
Q

What are the distinguishing features of synovial joints?

A
  • blood vessels and nerves
  • reinforcement ligaments
  • synovial fluid
  • synovial cavity
  • fibrous capsule
  • articular capulse
  • articular cartilage
