Q

What is a serous membrane and function of serous fluid

A

lines the body to reduce friction and hold everything in place
the fluid acts as a lubricant between the two layers to allow movement of organs at low friction

Q

Minor vs major homeostasis

A

minor - body can recover from

major - body cannot recover from alone - burns/ infections = medications and antibiotics to help

Q

Smooth vs Rough endoplasmic reticulum

A

smooth - lipid/steroid/carb synthesis
detoxification of harmful substances
glycogen to glucose breakdown

rough- contains ribosomes another site for protein synthesis

Q

plasma / cell membrane

A

encloses cellular contents, controls cell traffic, inter-cellular communication
bi-lipid layer (two layers of phoso-lipids)
hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail
contains cholesterol (lubricates) and proteins (transport)

Q

Roles of the:

  • nucleus
  • nuclear envelope
  • nucleolus
A

Nucleus - control centre and stores genetic information
NE- encloses nucleus - contains nuclear pores for transport
Nucleolus - ribosome synthesis

Q
Roles of the :
Cytoplasm
cytosol
cytoplasmic inclusions
cytoskeleton
A

cytoplasm = cellular fluid that contains organelles
cytosol = thick viscous liquid that surrounds organelles - ions/molecules/proteins
Cytoplasmic inclusions = aggregates of chemicals
cytoskeleton = fibres that give cell shape

Q

Roles of:
Lysosome
ribosome

A

L- membrane bound vesicles formed at the golgi bosy, contains enzymes, digest molcules and forgein material that the cell no longer needs
R- protein synthesis - two sub-units connected
float freely in the cell bound by nuclear membrane

Q

What is epithelial tissue

A

Covers a body surface and lines body cavities
lateral cell surface that reduces friction
has a basement surface that anchors cells and provides blood diffusion as epithelial cells are avascular

17
Q

Classification of epithelial tissues

A
simple = single layer
stratified = more than one layer
pseudo-strated  = one layer but looks like more than one
squamous = thin and flat
cuboidal= square like
columnar= tall
transitional = changes shape
18
Q

Purpose of connective tissue and what is it made of

A

connects, supports, transports, compart mentalilses information also is used for energy productiona and storage (abundant)

Cells (EG adipose, fibourous, mast WBC)
produce ground substance - fills spaces between cell tissues
and fibers - collagen, elastic and verticular fibres

19
Q

4 classes of connective tissue

A
  • connective tissue proper dense and loose
  • cartilage - made of a rigid matrix
  • Bone - cells in matrix - supports and protects
  • blood = transports waste and respiratory gases around the body
20
Q

Types and purpose of muscle tissue

A

highly cellular and well vascularised responsible for body movement
skeletal = attached to bones - voluntary control
cardiac = walls of heart increas in mitochondria, involuntary
Smooth = walls of hollow organs , involuntary control

21
Q

Describe Nervous tissue

A

control and communication, electrical - chemical impulses

*neurons and supporting cells

22
Q

Order of structures in digestion

A

oral cavity - pharynx - oesophagus - stomach - SI - LI -rectum - anal canal

23
Q

Role of enzymes

A

speed up reaction rate in the body - no consumed by it
very specific - certain active site
protein catalyst

24
Q

parts and function of the peritoneum

A

lines the walls of organs in the abdominal cavity
visceral - lines organs
parietal - inferior surface of body wall

25
Q

oral cavity parts and role in digestion

A

mechanical digestion food – bolus
tounge - pushes food to pharynx
teeth -
