Module One Flashcards
Anatomy vs physiology
Anatomy = bodily structure of humans animals and other living organisms
Physiology = deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts
List of the levels of human structure from simplest to most complex (9)
- Atoms
- Molecules
- Macromolecules
- Organelles
- Cells
- Tissues
- Organs
- Organ systems
- Organism
11 organ systems and acronym
My sister Rachel is extremely nervous cuz uncle donny lied recently
Muscular Digestive
Skeletal Lymphatic
Respiratory Reproductive
Integumentary
Endocrine
Nervous
Circulatory
Urinary
5 groups of organ systems
Support and movement
- muscular and skeletal
Environmental exchange
- respiratory, digestive, urinary
Continuity of life - reproductive
Control of regulation - endocrine, nervous
Fluids, transport and defence
- circulatory, lymphatic
What does “functional integration” mean
All cells, tissues, organs, organ systems work together to maintain life functions
ELEMENTS
define it
96% of the human body is which 4 elements
A substance where all the particles (atoms) are exactly the same
Oxygen 65
Carbon 19
Hydrogen 10
Nitrogen 3
Molecules
Made up of atoms
Described by 2 formulas
- molecular formula = elements and how many eg. C6h12o6
- structural formula = elements, how many and structure

Chemical reactions
Chemical reactions involve changes in the relationships between atoms/ molecules
3 types
- synthesis, decomposition, exchange
Result of collisions between atoms/molecules. The more frequent and forceful the collisions = the more likely a chemical bond forms
3 types of chemical reactions
Synthesis
- atoms/ small molecules bond together to form larger more complex molecules
Decomposition
- chemical bonds are broken in large molecules resulting in smaller, less complex molecules
Exchange
- chemical bonds are both made and broken
Catalyst (enzymes)
A substance that increases the rate of reaction
Enzymes = biological catalysts
- protein molecules
- don’t participate but bring substrates together
- each chemical reaction requires a specific enzyme with a specific active site to bind with the substrate
Lock and key
1 substrate binds to active site to form an enzyme - substrate complex
- Shape changes allowing products to form
- Product is released. Enzyme returns to original shape and catalyses another reaction
Electrolytes
All ions are electrolytes ( cations +, anions -)
Electrolytes conduct an electric current in water
Present in all body fluids
Essential for normal body functions
3 types of electrolytes
3 types of electrolytes
Salts
Acids
- sour (citrus/ vinegar)
- releases H+ ions in solution
Bases
- bitter (bleach)
- ions that can bind H+ ions
PH scale
Way to measure H+ ions in a solution (0-14)
Water = 7
1-7 acidic more H+ ions
7-14 basic/alkaline more base ions than H+ ions
Major Cation and anion in extracellular fluid
Cation = sodium
Anion = chloride
