Test 1 Flashcards
Name the 6 levels of complexity
- chemical level
- cellular level
- tissue level
- organ level
- organ system level
- organismal level
Chemical Level
atoms - molecule - macromolecules
- hemoglobin: protein, lipids, nucleic acid, carbohydrates
Cellular level
plasma membrane -> wall
- Phospholipid molecules -> phospholipid membrane -> plasma membrane of a cell
Tissue Level
Epithelial tissue forms of the inner lining of blood vessels
- Epithelial is under -> underlying extracellular layer
Organ Level
Made up of multiple tissue types
- Connective tissue, smooth muscle tissue, epithelial tissue -> all in blood vessel (organ)
Organ system level
group of organs and tissues that perform specific task
- cardiovascular system
Organismal Level
Person as a whole working interdependently
Superior
towards the head
- above
Inferior
away from the head
- below
medial
toward the midline
lateral
away from the midline
proximal
closer to the origin of the body part
- elbow is proximal to the wrist
Distal
further from the origin of the body part
- knee is distal to thigh
Ipsilateral
same side
- right foot, right hand
contralateral
opposite side
- right hand, left foot
anterior
front of
posterior
back of
superficial
external
- toward or at the body surface
deep
internal
- away from the body surface
The abdominal cavity contains what serous membrane
peritoneal
The pelvic cavity contains what serous membrane
peritoneal
what are the four quadrants starting at the naval
right upper
right lower
left upper
left lower
Plasma membrane
the boundary fence and security gate; it forms the boundary of the cell snd selectively allows material to pass in and out of the cell
Cytoplasm
cell-forming material
- lies internal of the plasma membrane
- watery environment
Nucleus
Control center of the cell
Ribosomes
sites of protein synthesis
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
makes protein that are secreted from the cell; makes the cell’s membrane
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Site of lipid and steroid hormone synthesis,, lipid metabolism, and drug detoxification
Golgi apparatus
packages, modifies, and segregates proteins from the cell
Lysosomes
sites of intracellular digestion
Mitochondria
Site of ATP synthesis; powerhouse of the cell
Peroxisomes
the enzymes detoxify a number of toxic substance
- the most important enzyme catalase, breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Pathway A of protein synthesis
protein containing vesicles pinch off rough ER and migrate to fuse with membranes of Golgi apparatus
