SBVC BIO 261 EXAM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100% VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE!!




What is Physiology? - (ANSWER)The study of how the body works to maintain life



What is Pathophysiology? - (ANSWER)How physiological processes are altered in disease or injury



What are the two main Body-Fluid Compartments? - (ANSWER)intracellular and extracellular
compartments separated by cell's outer membrane



In the Intracellular compartments... - (ANSWER)biochemistry is happening 24/7, all cells have
intracellular fluid inside their cell



What is the Extracellular Body-Fluid compartment composed of? - (ANSWER)blood plasma, and
interstitial fluid



What is homestasis? - (ANSWER)it is the maintenance of fairly constant internal conditions

- around physiological set points

- maintained by negative feedback loops



Homeostatic Set Point (average) - (ANSWER)the point our body tries to maintain with all the various
necessities our body calls for



How does our body try and maintain homeostasis? - (ANSWER)through the negative feedback loop



What does the sensor of the Negative Feedback Loop do? - (ANSWER)a neuron that detects deviation
from set point



What does the integrating center of the Negative Feedback Loop do? - (ANSWER)the nervous
system/brain that determines response

,SBVC BIO 261 EXAM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100% VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE!!




What does the effector of the Negative Feedback Loop do? - (ANSWER)a neuron or the endocrine
system produces response



What is our normal body temperature? - (ANSWER)98.6F or 37C



Intrinsic Control Mechanisms - (ANSWER)local control mechanisms from within the cells or tissues that
help the body regain homeostasis



Extrinsic Control Mechanisms - (ANSWER)global or "systemic" mechanisms from outside the cells or
tissues that help the body regain homeostasis. Generally involves either the nervous system or the
endocrine system or both



What elements are life composed of? - (ANSWER)Hydrogen, Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium,
Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chlorine



Covalent Bonds - (ANSWER)- Bonds created by sharing electrons with other atoms

in nonpolar covalent bonds electrons are shared equally

- ex (H2,N2,)2)



in nonpolar covalent bonds... - (ANSWER)electrons are shared equally

- ex (H2,N2,)2)



In polar covalent bonds... - (ANSWER)electrons are shared unequally

- pulled more toward one atom

have + and - poles

- oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus have strong pull

- ex H20

How are ions formed in a solution? - (ANSWER)it occurs when valence electrons are transferred from
one atom to another



What is a cation? - (ANSWER)positively charged ion (loses electrons)



What is an anion? - (ANSWER)negatively charged ion (gains electrons)



What are Ionic Bonds? - (ANSWER)- bond formed by attraction of + and - charges

- ionic bonds are WEAKER than polar covalent bonds

- dissociate when dissolved in H2O because H2O forms hydration spheres around ions

- ex. NaCl



What is a Hydrogen Bond? - (ANSWER)When hydrogen forms polar bonds with another atom it takes on
a slight + charge making it attracted to any nearby - charged atoms

- creates surface tension



What are Hydrophilic molecules? - (ANSWER)molecules that are soluble in water

- aka Lipophobic

- readily form hydration spheres

- polar molecules

- glucose and amino acids



What are Hydrophobic molecules? - (ANSWER)water fearing molecules that are nonpolar and cannot
form hydration spheres (Lipophillic)



Acids - (ANSWER)release protons (H+) in a solution



Bases - (ANSWER)lower H+ levels of a solution
