AMEDD Anatomy and Physiology Course Module 2-17 Verified 100% - About 20% of extracellular fluid is blood, amounting to about 8% of total body mass. Blood volume is 5 to 6 liters in an average-sized adult male and 4 to 5 liters in an average sized adult female - Active transport - cellular energy is used to drive the substance uphill against its concentration or electrical gradient; energy usually in the form of ATP; ex. endocytosis Adipocyte - Called Fat cells or adipose cells are connective tissues that store triglycerides (fats). They are found deep to the skin and around organs such as the heart and kidney Albumin - most abundant plasma protein and contribute significantly to the osmotic pressure of plasma. They are important in the transport of fatty acids and hormones in blood An enzymes catalyzes a specific reaction by recognizing the correct substrate from the numerous, diverse molecules in a cell; is referencing what property - Highly Specific Anaphase - the centromeres split, separating the two members of the chromatid pair. upon separating, each is then termed a chromosome. Each chromosome moves to the opposites poles of the cell in a v-shaped configuration, being pulled by the mitotic spindles microbtubles attached to its centromere. during late anaphase, cytokinesis begins with formation of a cleavage furrow of the plasma membrane Apical (free) surface - faces the body surface, a cavity, the lumen (interior space) of an organ, or a tubular duct that receives secretions. Apical surfaces may contain cilia or microvilli Approximately 8% of total body mass is made up of blood - Atomic Number - The number of proton distiguishes the atoms of one element from another B Cells - Effective in destroying bacteria and inactivating their. Both B and T cells combat infection through immune responses and provide protection against some diseases. the principal function of B cells is to make antibodies against antigen Basal Surface - Opposite the apical surfaces. basal surfaces of the deepest layer adhere to extracellular materials such as the basement membrane. Hemidesmosomes in the basal surfaces anchor the epithelium to the basement membrane Basement membrane - component of an epithelial covering that consist of two somewhat indistinct, thin, extracellular layers: a basal layer and a reticular lamina. The more superficial basal lamina- closer to, and secreted by epithelial cells- contains proteins such as laminin and collagen, as well as glycoproteins and proteoglycans. the Reticular lamina (layer) is closer to the underlying connective tissue and contains proteins such as collagen produced by connective tissue cells called fibroblast. Basement membranes attach and support the overlying epithelium and form a surface along which epithelium migrates during growth or healing, restricts passage of larger molecules, and participates in filtration of blood in kidneys Basophils - Release granules that contain heparin, histamine, and serotonin, which intensify the inflammatory reaction and involved in allergic reaction Blood has two components? - Blood plasma (55%) and (45%) formed elements Blood performs three general functions: - transportation, regulation and protection Body Fluid Compartments - 40% solids 60%fluids -2/3 Intracellular -1/3 Extracellular
