Enzyme
a catalyst, not used up in chemical reaction
Differentiation
the process by which unspecialized cells become specialized to carry out distinct functions
Homeostasis
body maintaining steady internal conditions
What is a vital sign?
(should be obvious) blood pressure, body temperature, pulse
Anatomy
What it is
Physiology
How it works
What organs would you find in the Cranial cavity?
Brain
What organs would you find in the Spinal Cavity?
Spinal Cord
What organs would you find in the Thoracic Cavity?
Lungs, Heart, etc.
What organs would you find in the Abdominal Cavity?
Stomach, Liver, etc.
What organs would you find in the Pelvic Cavity?
Bladder, etc
What separates the Abdominal cavity from the Thoracic Cavity?
the Diaphragm
Superior/Cranial
towards head
Inferior/Caudel
away from head
Anterior
towards front
Posterior
towards back
Lateral
away from middle
Medial
towards middle
Proximal
closer to attachment
Distal
further from attachment
external covering, prevents water loss, receptors, protection
Integumentary System
structure, allows movement, mineral storage
Skeletal System
movement, posture, heat
Muscular System
high speed communication, brain, spinal cord, neurons
Nervous System
transportation of nutrients/waste
Circulatory System
slow communication, hormones (move through blood), metabolism
Endocrine System
immunity, drains excess fluid
Lymphatic System
break down nutrients
Digestive System
exchange gases between blood and air
Respiratory System
remove waste from blood
Urinary System
produces life
Reproductive System
What are the Characteristics of Life?
responds to environment
different levels of organization
made up of cells
reproduce
obtains & uses energy
grows and develops
What is needed to maintain life?
Food/nutrients
Oxygen
Water
Heat
Pressure
What are the “Levels of Organization?”
atoms > molecules > cells > tissue > organs > organ system > organism
What are the “Four Organic Compounds?”
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids
What is the difference between organic and inorganic?
organic contains both carbon and hydrogen in chains, inorganic does not
What is the function of Carbohydrates?
Energy.
Sugar- quick energy
Starch- long term energy
What are the building blocks of Carbohydrates?
Made up of C, H, O
Monosaccharides- carb made of one type of sugar a.e. Glucose
Disaccharides- two monosaccharides bonded together a.e. Sucrose, Lactose
Polysaccharides- complex carbohydrate “fiber” a.e. cellulose, starch, glycogen
What is the function of Lipids?
long term energy storage, phospholipids, insoluble in water
What is the building block of Lipids?
Triglyceride (made of three fatty acids and one molecule glycerol)
What is the function of Proteins?
structure of organisms
hormones
enzymes
last ditch energy source
What are the building blocks of Proteins?
20 different amino acids; chains of amino acids held together by polypeptide bonds (polypeptide chains)
Dipeptide- 2 amino acids joined by a peptide bond
Tripeptide- dipeptide + amino acid
Polypeptide- long chain of amino acids
What are the functions of Nucleic Acids?
DNA + RNA
What are the building blocks of Nucleic Acids?
5-Carbon Sugar, Phosphate groups, N-Bases
Nucleotides
positive charge, found in nucleus, 1 amu
Proton
neutral charge, found in nucleus, 1 amu
Neutron
negative charge, electron cloud, 0 amu
Electron
share electrons, (nonmetals)
Covalent Bonds
transfers electron, electrically neutral, (metals and nonmetals)
Ionic Bonds
release H+, H3O+
Acids
release OH-
Bases
high H+ low OH-
Acidic Solution
low H+ high OH-
Basic Solution
H+ = OH-
Neutral Solution
number below 7
more acidic
number above 7
more basic
