Q

What is the difference between an ionic and a covalent bond?

A

Ionic - valence electron(s) transferred from metal to nonmetal (i.e., electron donor to electron acceptor; differing electronegativity)

Covalent - valence electrons shared between atoms of the same/similar electronegativity

Q

In what 2 ways does an enzyme speed up reaction rate?

A

1) By providing an active site for molecules to bind, increasing probability of molecular collision

2) Lowering the energy of activation, which allows the reaction to progress quicker (smaller hump to get over)

Q

Why is the cell membrane a phospholipid bilayer?

A

Two layers of hydrophilic, polar heads (phosphates/glycerols) face the water inside and outside of the cell, while the two sets of hydrophobic, nonpolar tails (fatty acids) face each other between the inside and outside of the cell (creating a fat sandwich)

28
Q

Which type of ossification forms long bones? What is the starting tissue?

A

1) Endochondral
2) Hyaline cartilage

29
Q

The { } gland secretes { } hormone in response to low blood Ca levels.

A

1) Parathyroid
2) Parathyroid

30

A

Osteoarthritis

32
Q

Which type of arthritis is autoimmune?

A

Rheumatoid

33
Q

What does acetylcholine do at the neuromuscular junction?

A

Diffuse from motor neuron to bind post-synaptic receptors, allowing depolarization (contraction) in the motor end plate and activating the muslce

34
Q

What are the contractile proteins in skeletal muscle cells (myocytes) that form crossbridges?

A

Actin & myosin

35
Q

What are the 2 inhibitory proteins that block depolarization in the motor end plate?

Q

Which cartilage makes up most of the larynx and trachea?

A

Hyaline

40
Q

Which cartilage forms the epiglottis?

A

41
Q

Differentiate types I and II pneumocytes.

A

1) Type I - gas diffusion
2) Type II - secretion of surfactant to reduce surface tension

42
Q

Why does air enter the lungs?

A

Diaphragm contracts down to increase thoracic cavity volume, which reduces Palv; Patm > Palv, so air moves down the pressure gradient (into the alveoli)

47
Q

Which organ makes erythropoietin (EPO), and what is EPO’s function?

A

A

Fibrin

Q

Which cells are most responsible for improving secondary exposure?

A

Q

Which nervous system increases SV, HR, and peripheral resistance (PR)

A

Sympathetic (fight or flight)

60
Q

What is the smooth muscle layer of a blood vessel?

A

Tunica media

61
Q

Which receptors monitor BP?

A
