Module 1 and 2 Flashcards
It is the ability of the body to maintain relatively stable internal conditions even
though the outside world changes continuously.
Homeostasis
What is Physiology?
Studies the function of the body, how the body parts work and carry out their life-sustaining activities.
An inability of the body to
restore a functional, stable
internal environment.
Homeostatic Imbalance
What are the Requirements for life?
Survival needs
- Nutrients
- Oxygen
- Water
- Normal Body Temperature
- Atmospheric Pressure

What a composite cells has?
Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, and Nucleus
It is selectively PERMEABLE barrier.
Plasma Membrane
Organelle that controls cellular activities.
Nucleus
What is Amino Acid?
Building blocks of protein
It is the basic structure material of the body and plays vital roles in cell function.
Proteins
what is the function of DNA?
Direct proteins synthesis and replicates itself before cell division.
What is the function of RNA?
It carries out the genetic instructions for protein synthesis.
It is the largest molecules in the body.
Nucleic acids
It is the type of protein that transmit signals between cells. Can act as chemical messengers.
Communication Proteins
What is Enzyme?
Globular proteins that act as biological catalyst.
It is essential for human life, found in cell membranes and
raw material for synthesis of vitamin D, steroid hormones and bile salts.

Extracellular fluid
- It includes interstitial fluids, blood plasma,
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
What is the smallest unit of life?
Cells
It allow neighboring cells to adhere and to communicate, inhibit or aid in allowing movement of molecules between cells.
Cell Junction
What are the Membrane Proteins Functions?
Transport, Receptors for signal transduction, Enzymatic Activity, Cell-cell recognition, Attachment to the cytoskeleton, and Cell-to-cell joining.
