week 1,2,3 Flashcards
4 types of anatomy + description
gross= system and regional - macroscopic surface= external form of body microscopic= cells ect development = gradual changes in the body
6 organism characteristics
organisation - relationship amongst parts of an organism
metabolism - chemical reactions
responsiveness -sense changes in the environment
growth- increase size
development- changes through time
reproduction - continuation of population/species
Define homeostasis
existence and maintenance of relatively constant environments within the body - at a certain threshold
Regions of the body
right hypochondriac
epigastric region
left hypochondriac
right lumbar region
umbilical region
left lumbar region
right iliac region
hypogastric region
left iliac region
Quadrants of the body
right upper, left upper
right lower, left lower
What is a serous membrane and function of serous fluid
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
Two layers of the serous membrane and there functions
visceral - lines organs
Parietal - lines trunk
Minor vs major homeostasis
minor - body can recover from
major - body cannot recover from alone - burns/ infections = medications and antibiotics to help
4 characteristics of a cell
1 = cell metabolism 2= synthesis of molecules 3= communication for division and growth 4= reproduction and inheritance
Smooth vs Rough endoplasmic reticulum
smooth - lipid/steroid/carb synthesis
detoxification of harmful substances
glycogen to glucose breakdown
rough- contains ribosomes another site for protein synthesis
plasma / cell membrane
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)
Roles of the:
- nucleus
- nuclear envelope
- nucleolus
Nucleus - control centre and stores genetic information
NE- encloses nucleus - contains nuclear pores for transport
Nucleolus - ribosome synthesis
Roles of the : Cytoplasm cytosol cytoplasmic inclusions cytoskeleton
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
Roles of:
Lysosome
ribosome
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
Role of the golgi body:
flattened membranous sacs
cisternate = fluid spaces
modifies, packages and distributes proteins
