Q

Be able to draw a feedback loop in the specific format shown in the Chapter 1 lecture. Do you know the definition of each component (stimulus, sensor, etc.)? Could you identify each component in a physiological scenario given on an exam?

Much more on this later in the course!

A

stimulus- any physiological change that deviates from the body’s preferred setpoint, ex. change in blood pressure

sensor- the structure the specifically detects the change from the setpoint, ex. chemoreceptors

integrating center- the anatomical location/structure where the information from the sensor is interpreted or compared to a stored setpoint, receieves info. from afferent pathway, ex. individual cells or proteins

effector- the specific anatomical structure that can counteract the stimulus and return the affected body parameter to its setpoint, cued into action by efferent pathway, ex. individual proteins, organelles

effector’s action- the the effector does to restore homeostasis, ex. sweat gland secretion of sweat

response- the outcome of the effector’s action, in negative feedback look the outcome is opposite of stimulus, in positive feedback the respone pushes stimulus further from the setpoint.(requres outside force to stop)

ATP-CP system- substrates are creatine phosphate (phosphocreatine), products are ATP and Creatine, rate limiting enzyme is creatine kinase, time to fatigue 10-15 seconds

Glycolysis- primary substrate is glucose, products are 2 ATP(net), 2 Pyruvate, 2 NADH, rate limiting enzyme phosphfructokinase, time to fatigue 60 to 90 seconds

2 aerobic systems are Citric Acid Cycle and Electron Transport System both take place in mitchondria of cells,

Q

Understand the difference between the mechanistic and teleological perspective when studying physiology.

A

Mechanistic perspecitve of physiology is

  1. “how” a system work
  2. What are the steps of a physiological process to accomplish a goal.

Teleological perspective of physiology is

  1. “why” a system exists

Q

Know the function of each subatomic particle, how ions are formed, the different types of chemical bonds, and different functional groups important to physiology.

A

electrons- play 4 important roles in physiology

  1. covalent bonds- electrons shared between atoms form strong covalent bonds
  2. Ions- if an atom or molecule gains or loses one or more electron, it acquires a charge and become an ion.( ions are basis for electrical signaling in the body)
  3. High energy electrons- electrons in certain atoms can capture energy from their environment and transfer it to other atoms.
  4. Free Radicals- unstable molecules with an unpaired electron. The contribute to aging, certain diseases,

Ions- are formed when an atom or molecule gains or loses one or more electron, acquiring an electrical charge.

covalent bonds-share electrons, one electron from each atom, strong bonds requre input of energy to break apart,

Polar and non polar molecules- polar molecules share electrons unevenly making atoms with a slightly more negative and slightly more positive charge, nonpolar molecules are distributed so evenly that there are no regions of partial positive or negative charge.

Ionic bonds- are the result of taking an electron, held together by electrostatic forces, negative charge ions are anions and positive charge ions are cations.

hydrogen bond- weak attractive bond between hydrogen and nearby oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen atom.

van der waals forces- weak non specific attractions between the nucleus of any atom and the electrons of nearby atoms.

Main functional groups are amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl, phosphate.

amino NH2- signature of amino acids

carboxyl COOH-

hydroxyl OH-added and removed as a group in may biological molecules

phosphate- important role in many cellular processes, energy transfer, protein regulation

Q

Define homeostasis, discuss generally how the body maintains it, and understand the consequences of not maintaining homeostasis.

A

Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes inside or outside the body, the body maintains homeostasis by adapting to changing environmental demands(additions must equal subtractions and vice versa law of mass balance), organ systems work synergistically to maintain constancy throughout the body, at the cellular level homeostasis is maintained by exchanges between the intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. (3 steps: change in internal conditions, attempt to reestablish, succeeds= wellness, failure= disease. the consequences of not maintaining homeostasis are health deficits and even death.

Q

Know the four levels of protein structure and the seven different functional categories of proteins. What are the ways that protein function can be modulated as discussed in Chapter 2?

A

primary- specific sequence of amino acids in a peptide

secondary- different regions of peptide chain are attracted to each other(alpha helix or beta pleated sheets)

tertiary- bonding and folding forming 3D structure

quarternary- formed when two or more tertiary structures are attached to form a unique molecule

Seven different functional categories of proteins-

  1. enzymes- biological catalysts
  2. membrane transporters- move substances between intra and extra cellular compartments
  3. signal molecules- hormoes and other signal molecules
  4. receptors- proteins that bind signal molecules and initiate cellular responses
  5. binding proteins- found mostly in extracellular fluid bind/transport molecules throughout the body
  6. immunoglobulins- (antibodies) help protect the body from foreign invaders and substances.
  7. regulatory proteins- turn cell processes on or off, up and down.

Protien modulation- altered by factors such as pH, temp., and molecules that interact w/ protein.

  1. cofactors- required for ligand binding at binding site.
  2. proteolytic activation- converts inactive to active form by removing part of molecules.
  3. competitive inhibitor- competes directly with ligand by binding reversibly to active site.
  4. irreversible inhibitor- binds to binding site and cannot be displaced
  5. allosteric modulator- binds to protein away from binding site and changes activity; may be inhibitors or activators
  6. covalent modulator- binds covalently to protein and changes its activity.
  7. pH/temperature- alter 3Dimensional shape of protein by disrupting hydrogen or S-S bonds; may be irreversible if protein becomes denatured.
