Answers.
3 controls of homeostasis - Answer sensory - sense environmental variable

integrator - compare to set point

effector - initiate change to go back to set point



2 regulations of homeostasis - Answer intrinsic - inside of tissue

extrinsic - outside of tissue



2 feedbacks of homeostasis - Answer negative - initate response in opposite direction to go
back to set point

positive - amplify signal



categorize blood clot, blood pressure, childbirth, body temperature - Answer blood clot -
positive/intrinsic

blood pressure - negative/intrinsic

childbirth- positive/extrinsic

body temperature - negative/extrinsic



functions of:

carbohydrate chains

membrane proteins

phospholipid

ion channels

cholesterol - Answer carbohydrate chains - receptor

membrane proteins - cell structure/function

phospholipid - lipid bilayer head

ion channels - permit entry/exit of ions

cholesterol - tuck between cells (fatty)



3 cell adhesions - Answer CAM - cell adhesion molecules

ECM - extracellular matrix

cell junctions

, CAM - Answer - transmembrane proteins



ECM - Answer - fibrous tissue that allows for diffusion



3 components of ECM - Answer 1. elastin - allows for stretch

2.fibrorectin - promotes cell adhesion

3.collagen - strength



3 types of cell junctions - Answer 1. tight junctions

2. desmosomes

3. gap junctions



desmosomes

- what are they

-found where - Answer - anchors adjacent cells w/ cadherins

-found in skin -> allows for stretch



tight junctions - Answer -impermeable

-kiss sites (opposing junctional sites meet)

-epithelial cells (digestive tract)



gap junctions - Answer - has tunnels for communication

-smooth/cardiac muscles



2 passive transport - Answer 1.diffusion

2.facilitate diffusion



2 active transport - Answer 1. carrier mediated

2. vesicular transport



3 factors that determine what is transported (carrier mediated) - Answer 1. specificity

2. saturation

3. competition



what is
