Cards

Term
Homeostasis
Definition

monitor aspects of internal environment and corrects any changes

-receptors

-control center

-effectors

Term
Receptors
Definition
provide information about stimuli
Term
control center
Definition
tells what a particular value should be (includes set point)
Term
effectors
Definition
elicit responses that change conditions in the internal environment
Term
When too High?
Definition
Stimulus (body temp. rises above normal)--Receptors (Thermoreceptors send signals to the control center)--Control center (the hypothalamus detects the deviation from the set point and signals effector organs-- Effectors (skin blood vessels dilate and sweat glands secrete)-- Response (Body heat is lost to surrounding. temp. drops toward control
Term
When too low?
Definition
Different from when too when the temp continues to drop the muscles start to contract involuntary--which then generates body heat.
Term
Dorsal Cavity
Definition

Cranial activity

Vertebral activity--spinal

Term
Ventral Cavity
Definition

-Thoracic Cavity

1. Right/left Pleural Cavities--Lungs

2. Pericardial Cavity--heart

3. Mediastinum--space between pleural cavities

-Abdominopelvic Cavity--LARGEST CAVITY

Term
Peritoneum
Definition

Serous membrane that line the abdominal cavity and folds inward to cover the organ

-parietal vs. Visceral peritoneum 

-peritoneal cavity and fluid

Retroperitoneal vs. intraperitoneal 

Term
Parietal peritoneum 
Definition
lines the whole body cavity
Term
Visceral Peritoneum
Definition
covers the organs
Term
Retroperitoneal
Definition

position outside of peritoneum 

behind-Kidneys

Term
Intraperitoneal
Definition

surrounded by peritoneum

-intestines

Term
Fluid within the Cavity does what?
Definition
helps reduce friction
Term

Thoracic membranes

What does it hold?

Definition

visceral/parietal pleura

visceral/parietal pericardium (heart)

Term
Abdominal membranes 
Definition
Visceral/parietal peritoneum 
Term

Body Sections

Sagittal (midsagittal or parasagittal)

Definition

-having a left/right down the middle

-(para)--offset down the middle a little bit

Term
Transverse/horizontal/cross-section
Definition
Top/bottom
Term
Coronal/frontal
Definition
Anterior/Postier 
Term

Cells/Cell Transport:

3 divisions of a cell

Definition
Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus 
Term
Cell Membrane
Definition

-lipid bilayer

-contains lipids, carbohydrates, proteins

Term
Lipids
Definition

forms the bilayer allowing materials to flow through membranes

-rigid to support the membrane

Term

Proteins:

-Integral 

-Peripheral 

Definition

1. "whole"--works as a channel

2. Cell recognition-works as channel but not allowing things all the way through. projects from outer surface

Term
Carbohydrates
Definition
glycocalyx: important in cell recognition 
Term
Nucleus Has what within it?
Definition

Nuclear Envelope

perinuclear space

nuclear pores

nucleolus

Term

Cytoplasmic organelles

 

Definition

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Ribosomes

Golgi Apparatus

Mitchondria

Lysosomes 

Microtubules & Microfilaments

Term

Smooth ER

Functions?

Definition

-agranular

-continuous w/ rER

1. lipid synthesis--steroid hormones

2. detoxification of drugs and alcohol

3.glycogen metabolism; has enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose

-No ribosomes

Term

Rough ER

functions?

Definition

-granular

-membranes channels--cisternae 

-ribosomes attach(stud) the surface giving it a ROUGH appearance

-responsible for synthesizing lysosomal and secretory proteins

Term
Ribosomes: Do what?
Definition

1. attached to outer surface of membranous structures (synthesize secretory protein) 

2. free in the cytoplasm (synthesize cytoplasmic proteins)

 

Term
Polyribosomes
Definition
-joined my mRNA--provides the genetic code instructing ribosomes on how to put the protein together
Term

Golgi Apparatus (mail center--gets stamped and sent on its way) 

what is the step system?

Definition
In network of nucleus, as a series of fattened sac. Functions in modification & packaging of proteins & forms lysosomes--directs macromolecular traffic throughout the cell--responsible for recycling membrane between the rER and cell membrane
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
prokaryote which established a symbiotic relationship in host cell--replication system--Therefore cells that use a lot of energy have lots of mitochondria 
Term

Lysosomes--Garbage Disposal--breaks done proteins

Different types? (5)

Definition

primary

phagosome

secondary

risidual

endosome

Term
primary lysosome
Definition
unchanged from origin at golgi apparatus 
Term
phagosome: 2 
Definition

heterophagosome--contains particulate matter brought into cell via endocytosis

autophagosome--contains worn out cell parts or metabolic products 

Term
secondary
Definition
digestive vacuole formed by primary lysosome fusing w/ either phagosome 
Term
residual body
Definition
contains material unable to be digested after formation of secondary lysosome, remain in cell and accumulate
Term
endosome
Definition
vesicles formed by pinocytosis
Term
Microtubules & Microfilaments
Definition

large role in cell division

-centrioles

Term
Centrioles
Definition

-similar in structure to microtubules

-Function is cell division as an attachment for the mitotic spindle fibers
