Test 1 Flashcards
Autoregulation (intrinsic)
systems involved
cells, tissues, or organ systems, localized response
Extrinsic regulation systems involved
- Nervous system or endocrine system
- sends signals to cells, tissue,s organs, or organ systems
- results in widespread response
causes of homeostatic mechanisms being pushed outside of normal limits and results
- infection, injury, genetic abnormality
- disease, death
what are symptoms
-subjective
what a person describes or measures that’s not easily measurable
what are signs
- objective
- what is physically observable or measureable
Cell membrane functions
- physical isolation
- selectively permeable membrane to regulate w/ environment
- sensitivity and recognition
- structural support
what’s glycocalyx
on extracellular surface of cell membrane
-sugar groups attached to membrane lipids and membrane proteins
Function of membrane proteins and carbs
- transport proteins
- channel proteins
- anchoring
- cell identity
- receptors
proteasomes
digest damaged or abnormal proteins
peroxisomes
enzymatic breakdown of lipids and toxins
lysosomes
vesicles w/ multiple types of enzymes
- digens organelles, engulfed materials,
- responsibly for autolysis of injured cells
Differentiation
production of specialized cells by turning certain genes on and off
germinative cells
adult stem cells in tissues for grown and repair
four types of tissues
neural, muscle, epithelial, connective
Connective tissue
- structural framework
- transports materials
- protects and supports organs
- interconnects and supports other tissues
- stores energy reserves
- defense agains invading microogranism
Epithelium intracellular connections
- tight junctions
- gap junctions
- desmosomes
desmosomes
really strong connections
gap junctions
-have holes that move around the cell
exocrine glands
secrete through ducts onto the surface of the epithelium
endocrine glands
release hormones into surrounding interisital fluid, which diffuses through the blood stream
Merocrine
product released through exocytosis
apocrine
involves the loss of both product and cytoplasm
holocrine
destroys the cell
ph of blood
7.35-7.45
acidosis
abnormally low blood pH
Alkalosis
abnormally high blood pH
Carbohydrates
C,H,O
monosaccharides
glucose, fructose, galactose
disaccharides
sucrose, lactose
polysaccharides
starch, glycogen, cellulose
lipids
C, H, O,
fatty acids
saturate, unsaturated, omega-3
triglycerides
3(fatty acids and glycerol)
-fats and oils
prostaglandins, leukotrienes
signaling molecules coordinating local cellular activities
glycoproteins
large protein molecules with carbohydrate groups attached
- antibodies
- hormones
- mucus
proteoglycans
large polysaccharides linked by polypeptide chains
-important thickening agent for tissue fluids
functions of proteins
structural
- contractile
- transport
- enzymes
- buffering
- antibodies
purines
adenine, guanine
pyrimidines
cytosine, thymin, uracil
Cutaneous membrane
epidermis- which consists of epithelial tissue
dermis- consists of connective tissue
