anatomy exam 1 Flashcards

annabolism

building up

catabolism

tearing down

intrinsic regulation

local regulation

extrinsic regulation

nervous and endocrine regulation

receptor

sensor
sends info to control center

control center

integrator
determine response

effector

provides means for response

negative feedback

shuts off original stimulus

positive feedback

increases original stimulus
blood clotting and birth

homeostastis

state of equilibrium

supine

laying on back

prone

laying on tummy

4 most common elements

oxygen 65%
carbon 18.6%
hydrogen 9.7%
nitrogen 3.2%

ionic bonds

donor and acceptor
opposite charges

covalent

sharing of electrons

non polar covalent bond

equal sharing of electons

polar covalent bond

unequal sharing of electrons

surfactant

decreses surface tension

solubility

ability to disolve a solute in a slovent

molecules of life

carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids

proteins

most abundant and important organic molecules

basic buliding blocks

20 amino acids

7 major protein functions

support, movement, transport, buffering, metabolic regulation,
coordination and control, defense

amino acids

central carbon, hydrogen, amino group, carboxylic acid group,
variable r group

protein primary structure

sequence of amino acids along a polypeptide

protein secondary structure

hydrogen bonds form spirals or pleats

tertiary structure

secondary structure folds into a unique form

quaternary protein structure

final protein shape

denaturization

loss of shape and function due to heat or ph

proteins

amino acids are basic building blocks

aerobic cellular respiration

uses oxygen to break down food and produce atp

atp

adenosine triphosphate

anaerobic

doesnt use oxygen

glycolisis

occurs in cytoplasm

krebs cycle and ETC

occurs in mitochandria

mitochandria structure

smooth outer membrane, folded inner membrane, folds/cristae, matirx/fluid

glycolisis input and output

input- glucose (6 carbons) 2 atp
output- 4 atp (2 net) 2 NADH 2 pyruvate (3 crabons)

fermentation

when O2 is not present

krebs cycle input and output

input- 2 pyruvate
output- 2 atp 6 NADH 2 FADH2

glycoproteins

large protein and small carbohydrate

proteoglycans

large polysaccharides and polypeptides

enzymes and catalysts

lower activation energy

substrates

reactants in enzymatic reactions

active site

location on an enzyme that fits a particular substrate

cofactor

binds to an enzyme before substrates can bind

coenzyme

nonprotein organic cofactors

isoenzyme

2 enzymes that can catalyze the same reaction

exergonic reaction

produce more energy than they use

endergonic reaction

use more energy that they produce

lipids

fats oils waxes
made of mostly carbon and hydrogen

classes of lipids

fatty acids, eicosanoids, glycerides, steroids, phospholipids and glycolipids

saturated fatty acid

no double bonds

unsaturated fatty acid

1 or more double bonds

eiconsanoids

fatty acids derived from arachidonic acid
leukotrienes and prostoglandins

leukotrienes

active in immune system and inflammation

prostaglandis

local hormones

glycerides

fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule

steroids

4 carbon rings

types of steroids

cholesterol, estrogens and testosterone, corticosteroids and
calcitrol, bile salts

cholesterol

component of cell membranes

esrogens and testosterone

sex hormones

coricosteroids and calcitrol

metabolic regulation

bile salts

derived from steroids

nucleotides

dna building blocks
3 parts- sugar, phosphate group, nitrogenous base (A,G,T,C)

DNA

adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine,

RNA

adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine

phosphorylation

adding phosphate group to adp with high energy bond to form high
energy compound

atp synthase

enzyme that catalyzes phosphorylation

impermeable

lets nothing out or in

freely permeable

lets anything pass

selectively permeable

restricts movement

materials can be restricted by

size, electrical charge, molecular shape, lipid solubility

active transport

requires energy

passive transport

does not require energy

types of diffusion

simple and channel mediated

typed of carrier mediated transport

facilitated diffusion and active transport

simple diffusion

materials which diffuse through cell membrane

channel mediated diffusion

small materials pass through trans membrane proteins
ions and water soluble

facilitated diffusion

carrier proteins transport molecules
molecule binds to receptor site

cotransport

2 substances move in the same direction at the same time

countertransport

1 substance moves in while one moves out

active transport

requires energy
ion pumps and exchange pumps

endocytosis

vesicles into cell

exocytosis

vesicles out of cell

pinocytosis

cell drinking

phagocytosis

cell eating
engulf large objects

low osmolarity

little solute lots of water

high osmolarity

lots solute little water

two major body cavities

dorsal and ventral
