Whole Thing Flashcards
Addison’s disease
A disorder in which the adrenal glands don’t produce enough hormones.
Light and vision
Light hits the retina, goes through a path to end in an optic nerve
Characteristics of elastic cartillage
Like hyaline cartillage, but contains yellow elastic fibers like in the ear
Hyaline cartillage
Pearly, on the ends of joints, made up of chondrocytes
Neurons
Carries nerve impulses, axon sends, recieves via the dendrite
Plasma membrane
Made up of a lipid bilayer, only hydrophobic molcules get pushed through
Chemicals in the human body
Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen
Afferent nerves
Sends signals to cns
Efferent nerves
Sends impulses to muscles from the CNS
Endomysium
Connective tissue within the muscle
Ganglia
Grouping of nerves muclei within the CNS
HAVERSIAN CANALS
Narrow tubes moving nutrients around the lamellae of the bone
Lacuna
A cavity within the long shaft of a bone
Mixed nerves
Nerves sending impulses both ways for multiple purposes
Monnosaccharide
Sugars
Motor nerves
Nerves innervsting muscles making them move
Myofibril
Elongated strands that are moving ahainst one another to cause muscle contraction
Myofilaments
Myofilaments are the filaments of myofibrils constructed from proteins. Their arrangement make up the three kinds of muscles
Nerve tract
A bundke if myelinated fibers following a path through the brain nerve tract
Nerves
Bundles of nerve fibres running in primary tracts from the spinal cord outward
Nuclei
Where the dna is stored in a cell
Nucleic acid
The buidling blocks of DNA, ADANINE, GUANINE, TAURINE, CYTOSINE
Perimysium
Layer above the muscles, lunricates and protects against infection
Peroxisomes
Small organelle, present in the cytoplasm that contains catalase and oxidase
Polysaccharide
Bigger sugar chains
Proteins
Amino acids coming together
Sarcolema
Transparent sheath that envelops the fibers of the skeletal muscles
Sarcomere
A structural unir if a myofibril in striated muscles, consisting of a dark band and pale band
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
The specialized ER of cardiac muscles and skeletal striated muscles amd stores calcium
Epimysium
Thin transparent membrane covering a skeletal muscle
Trabecula
Groups of connective tissue forming bones
VOLKMANN’S CANAL
Blood vessel carrying holes in a bone
Gap junction
Inntracellular junctions between a multitude of animal cells
Gouty arthritis
Arthritis from eating fatty foods, uric acid crystals in the joint
Homeostatic imbalance
Illness
Motionsickness
Cochlea and inner ear fluid is messed up in the worst kinda way
Osmosis
Transfering if water across a permeable bilayer
Phagocytosis
Cells eating other cells
Spastic paralysis
Nerve severed, but there are still slight impulses working their way across the muscle
Survival needs
Food and water and shelter and oxygen and warmth
Proper nerve impulses
Proper ions and electrical impulses
