25
osmotic pressure
force exerted by water molecules
26
isotonic cell
osmotic pressure on inside of cell and outside of cell are equal (homeostasis
27
hypertonic cell
more solute outside the cell. results in water rushing out of the cell, causing it to shrink
28
hypotonic cell
more solute inside the cell. results in water rushing into the cell, causing the cell to swell and rupture.
29
phagocytosis
"cell eating", engulfing of substances by the cell membrane
30
pinocytosis
"cell drinking", creation of pinocytic vesicles that engulf large molecules in solution, breaks down nutrients
31
active transport
molecules move across a cell membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, moving against the concentration gradient, this process requires energy in the form of adenosine tri-phosphate
32
ATP
generated by our cell's metabolism by using the food we eat and the air we breathe
33
sodium-potassium pumps
trade 3 Na+ ions from intracellular environment + ATP for 2 K+ ions from the extracellular environment, occurs within nerve cell to generate an action potential (electrical current)
34
rmp
resting membrane potential,charge difference between the inside and outside of the cell in excitable tissues
35
excitable tissues
muscle and nervous tissue, prepares nerve or muscle cell for excitement, allows nerve to conduct charge, allows muscle to contract
36
established with Na+/K+Pumps
rmp=-70mV
37
aging
aging is a phase of normal development
38
older people may have -- less cells
30%
39
after age 30, -- of cellular reserve is lost per year
1%
40
largest changes occur in the...
heart, lung and kidneys.
41
atrophy
decrease in size of a cell
42
hypertrophy
increase in size of a cell
43
hyperplasia
increase in number of cells
44
metaplasia
change from one cell type to another
45
dysplasia
change to the size, shape and organizations of cells as a result of a stimulus
46
neoplasia
changes in cell structure that occur in an abnormal growth pattern
47
tumors result when...
cell division does not occur in the usual pattern ("neoplasms")
48
benign tumors
composed of cells confined to a local area, noncanerous
49
malignant tumors
cells continue to grow, crowding out healthy cells, interfering with body functions and drawing nutrients away from the body tissues, spread to other body parts through metastasis
50
stage 1 cancer
cancer is limited to tissue of origin
51
stage 2 cancer
there is limites local spread of cancer cells, may involve nearest lymph node
52
stage 3 cancer
extensive local and regional spread to lymph nodes
53
stage 4 cancer
cancer has metastasized to other organs throughout the body
54
