KNPE 125 UNIT 1 WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100% VERIFIED!!



homeostasis - ANSWER>>the maintenance of internal conditions

- regulated by controlling infow and outflow

- altered by feed back and feed forward systems



conservation of mass - ANSWER>>/_\ mass = inflow - outflow



flow - ANSWER>>the movement of mass from one location to another

flow = gradient x conductance



gradient - ANSWER>>change in mass from one area to another

/_\ P = P1 - P2



equilibrium - ANSWER>>no difference in pressure between areas (no /_\ P)



conductance - ANSWER>>the ability of a mass to pass between 2 areas

conductor = roads

* in a traffic jam conductance is LOW

*electricity has a LOW conductance in rubber



feedback - ANSWER>>error signal is sensed and a controlled response is triggered to
CORRECT the change

ex.

regulated variable= speed

sensor= speedometer

,feedback controller= increased gas flow to engine

effector= increase in speed



feed forward - ANSWER>>happens before the error signal is detected (do not respond
directly thus the responses can be wild and uncontrolled)



negative feedback - ANSWER>>ex. heart rate

- changes are sensed and a response is triggered to bring the regulated variable **back
to normal**



**MORE CONTROLLED THAN FEEDFORWARD



positive feedback - ANSWER>>ex. LH hormone

- changes are sensed and a response is triggered

-ex. the variable increases, the response will continue to **increase the variable**



**MORE CONTROLLED THAN FEEDFORWARD



feed forward - ANSWER>>ex. muscle metabolism

- anticipatory response that triggers a change in one variable due to feedback from
another variable (not the regulated variable)

- the disturbance is measured prior to the change

- ex. thinking about standing up BP



hormones - ANSWER>>- secreted by endocrine glands

only acts on cells with the appropriate receptors



neurotransmitters - ANSWER>>chemical secreted by neurons

, paracrines - ANSWER>>released by a cell to act on a neighboring cell

** does NOT travel thru the blood



channel linked receptor - ANSWER>>a signalling molecule binds to receptor causing
ion chanel to open/close

- ex. calcium enters by channel linked receptor to allow for muscle contraction



enzyme linked receptor - ANSWER>>signalling molecule binds to receptor activating
an enzyme

- receptor then modifies another protein to activate an intracellular response



G protein linked receptor - ANSWER>>have 3 subunits (B,Y,a)

- GDP is bound to the a subunit

- GDP -> GTP

- the a subunit is released to act on effectors



3 types of G protein effectors - ANSWER>>1. channel effectors (acts directly on slow
ligand gated ion channel - opens/closes)



2. Stimulatory (activate amplifier enzymes- catalyze the production of a 2nd messanger)



3. Inhibitory (inhibit the amplifier enzymes)



Free energy change ( /_\ E ) - ANSWER>>the amount of energy a molecule contains



/_\E = free energy in products - free energy in substrates
