Classification/organization of the human body
Atoms
Molecules
Organelles
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Organ System
Organism
All systems
Integumentary
(skin, fingernails, hair)- Protection and temp regulation
Skeletal
(Bones)-Protection, Structure, movement
Muscular
(Muscles)- movement
Nervous
(Brain, spinal cord, nerves)- Communication
Endocrine
(Pituitary, Pancreas, Adrenal)- Control and communication
Cardiovascular
(heart and blood vessel) - circulation
Lymphatic
(lymphnodes, lymphatic vessels, splean)- immunity
Respiratory
(Lungs, trachea)- gas exchange
Digestive
(stomach, anus, esophagus, intestines)- ingestion, digestion, absorption, defection
Urinary
(kidney, bladder)- excretion, h20 balance
Reproductive
(testes, ovaries) create offspring
Properties/needs for life:
Boundaries, movement, metabolism, responsiveness, excretion, reproduction, growth
Concept of homeostasis, What is it? Important parts/steps.
means: Equal or stable body conditions
examples: body temp controls
steps: receptor, control center, effector
Negative vs positive feedback
(-) shuts off OG stimulus
(+) increases OG stimulus. ex- contractions
Kinetic vs Potential energy
kinetic- energy doing work (ATP)
potential- stored energy
Parts of atoms
Protons- positive
neurons- no charge
electrons- negative charge
Nucleus- control center
valence shells- holds P+, N0, E-
Common elements in the body.
C,H,O (96%),N
Isotopes
Same atomic number, different atomic masses
#P+ = E-
Valence electrons
help form chemical bonds
Electrons in shells
1- 2e-
2-8e-
3-8e-
Covalent
stable atoms shared e-
Ionic
atoms with electrical charges
Hydrogen bonds
H+ attracted to each other
ex: water
How dehydration and hydrolysis are used with macromolecules
Dehydration- water taken away, molecules, shrink
Hydrolysis- water added to molecule, is destroyed, swells
Characteristics of water:
~Cohesion- molecules bind together
~Adhesion- attraction of molecules ex- water
~Surface tension- belly flop
~Universal solvent- can be mixed with anything
~High heat capacity- holds heat well
cushioning
~Polarity- (the hydrogens have a partial positive charge and the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge)
Differences between acids and bases
Acids: H+>OH-
0-6.9
Bases: H+<OH-
7.9-14
What’s a buffer?
chemicals that regulate pH
