what are the 4 types of tissues? - ANSWER epithelium
connective
muscle
nervous

what is anatomy? - ANSWER is the study structure and description of the body

what is physiology - ANSWER is the study of biological functions and processes of
the human body under basal conditions.

what is homeostasis - ANSWER refers to the dynamic constancy of the internal
physiological envrioment while buffering the challenges of the external enviroment

homeostasis reflects the ability of the human body to - ANSWER maintain a
relatively constant internal environment regardless of the surrounding enviromental
changes

how is homeostasis maintained? - ANSWER feedback control mechanisms

what happens when homeostasis is not achieved? - ANSWER disease

what is disease? - ANSWER the lack of coherence among certain human biological
process

what leads to the progression of disease? - ANSWER when synergy is disrupted at
any level

what are the components of the feedback control center? - ANSWER sensor
intergrating center
effector

regulated variable - ANSWER the specfic factor being monitored and controlled by
the system.

sensor(receptor) - ANSWER monitors the controlled variable for any deviations
caused by a stimulus from the external environment.


information transmitted to the integrating center along afferent pathways

, integrating center(control center) - ANSWER recieves and processes input
information from the sensor

if necessary instructions to carry out an appropriate respnse are sent to the effect
along efferent pathways.

effector - ANSWER recieves instructions from the integrating center and responds
accordingly.

steps of the feedback control system - ANSWER stimillus

receptor(sensory)

control center

effector

response

"susy really can't eat ragu"

negative feedback - ANSWER the response of the control system is negative or
opposing to the stimulus

regulation of blood pressure

the decrease in blood volume----->decrease in blood pressure---->detected by
baroreceptors in carotid ateries----->sent to brain------>vessels contrict heart rate
increases

negative feedback _______ homeostasis - ANSWER supports

what is the most common feedback mechanism? - ANSWER negative feedback

positive feedback - ANSWER the response of the control system in positive or
promoting the stimulus.

act to amplify the initial response to the stimulus.

examples of positive feedback - ANSWER childbirth
blood coagulation

,inflammation response

Positive feedback _______ _______ __________ homestasis - ANSWER does not
support

positive feedback is ____ _______ in nature - ANSWER less common

what stops positive feedback? - ANSWER negative ffedback does once the
process of positve feedback is complete

the plasmalemma is a doubled layer structure made primarily of - ANSWER
phospholipids

cholesterol

protien molecules

the plasmalemma has a ________(inner) and a _______(outer) face - ANSWER
cytoplasmic

extracellular

the cell membrane is ______ ________ which means it only allows certain
molecules to penetrate its membrane - ANSWER selectively permeable

cholesterol helps with _______ and _______ of the plasma membrane - ANSWER
fluidity and permerability

how does cholesterol help with permeability?

why is this the case? - ANSWER it keeps the phosphate heads at a good distance
from each other.

This is because cholesterol is positioned between the lipid bilayer

how does cholesterol prevent dissociation of phosphate heads? - ANSWER by
absorbing thermal energy

how does cholesterol prevent phosphate heads from increasing their intermolecular
distance? - ANSWER by keeping the cell membrane structure consistent.

, what does cholesterol amphipathic properties allow it to do? - ANSWER maintain
the stability of the plasmalemma when exposed to certain temperatures.

gradient: - ANSWER an increase or decrease in magnitude of a given property.

what does the phospholipid bilayer do? - ANSWER marks the boundaries of the cell
and is amphoietic in nature.

each lipid molecule contains a ________ and a _________ region - ANSWER
hydrophilic and hydrophobic region

phosphate heads are - ANSWER hydrophilic

phosphate tails are - ANSWER hydrophobic

what type of gases can pass through the membrane? - ANSWER N2,O2,CO2

what type of hydrophobic molecules can pass through the membrane - ANSWER
C6H6(benzene)

What type uncharged molecules can pass through the membrane? - ANSWER H20
and C2H6O(ethanol)

can small charged ions pass through the membrane? - ANSWER No, they cannot.
Here are some examples

Ca2+
H+
K+
Cl-

can H2O easily diffuse across the plasma membrane? - ANSWER yes, but only
small amounts. If there are large amounts of water then aquaporins will need to be
used.

does glucose pass through the membrane easily?

what is it? - ANSWER NO! it is an uncharged polar molecule

passive transport - ANSWER substances moves down its concentration gradient
