Lecture Final (1-7) Flashcards
organizational hierarchy of life
atom –> molecule –> macromolecule –> organelle –> cell –> tissue –> organ –> organ system –> organism
what kind of process of the hierarchy of life?
additive process
what is anatomy?
the study of form
the observation of structure (to tease apart)
dissection
observed with the naked eye
gross anatomy
observed with a microscope
histology
feeling with finger
palpitation
listening to natural sounds
auscultation
tapping and listening
percussion
x-rays and ct scans
imaging
what are the different forms of anatomy?
morphological and anatomical
what percent of us have anatomical variations?
30%
normal anatomy
situs solitus
right and left flipped (1:8000)
situs inversus
heart is reversed
dextrocardia
an organ out of place
situs perversus
examples of anatomical variations
missing a vertebrae extra vertebrae no palmaris longus coxal vertebrae spleen anomalies
words for large, larger, and largest
magnus, major, and maximus
provide all the machinery to synthesize ATP and proteins; root of all cellular processes
cytoplasmic components
provide ability for cell respond; contains embedded proteins; root of all physiological processes
membrane components
theory that membrane components are complex and constantly migrating
fluid mosaic bilayer
heads
hydrophilic
tails
hydrophobic
anything that will bind to a chemical messenger such as hormones; one for every protein
receptor
break down chemical messengers and terminates its affect; always ends in -ase
enzyme
constantly open
channel
opens and closes with stimuli EX: sodium channel
gated channel
important for immune system; distinguishes what cells are ours; a glycoprotein
cell-identity marker
keeps cells bound to each other in a tissue; important in heart
cell-adhesion molecule (CAM)
increase surface area; best developed in cells specialized for absorption EX: small intestine
microvilli
hairlike projections of the membrane; nearly all cells have these to monitor cell conditions
non-motile cilia
hairlike projections of the membrane; propel materials in the body
motile cilia
cytoplasmic extensions from the membrane; amoebas move with them; neutrophils crawl with them; macrophages shoot them out
pseudopods
name all three membrane extensions
microvilli, cilia, and pseudopods
types of cellular junctions
tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions
so close together, nothing can pass by EX: pathogens
tight junction
nutrients, hormones, and pathogens can pass through; EX: blood brain barrier separate heat and brain
desmosome
intercellular communication; exchange information and cellular products EX: intercalated disks
gap junctions
maintain contact with surface via a duct; secrete into membranes EX: sweat glands
exocrine glands
no ducts; lose contact with surface; secrete into blood EX: thyroid
endocrine
secretory cells found in epithelium EX: goblet cells
unicellular
end of long bone; spongy and compact
epiphysis
shaft of long bone; compact
diaphysis
long bones make up the…
appendicular skeleton
