Cards

Term
What is physiology?
Definition
functional anatomy
Term
Dynamic processes
Definition
maintain or moving to a control set point
Term
Molecules
Definition
assembly of atoms, major physiological ones are proteins, carbs, lipids, and nucleic acids
Term
Cells
Definition
Basic unit of life
Use energy, has metabolism, removes waste
All the cells doesn't have the same function
RBC's is the simple cell no nucleus
Term
Tissues
Definition
collection of similar cells w/ same local function
Term
Organs
Definition
Collection of different tissue
Carries out distinct function in the body
Term
System
Definition
Collection of organs
Controls major coordinated functions
Term
homeostasis
Definition
maintain the normal physiological state
Term
Internal environment
Definition
-interstitial fluid (liquid around the cell)
All cells are surrounded by this, if the fluid is gone you will die

-If protein and interstitial fluid meets then swelling will occur
Term
Negative feedback
Definition
(Common)

Event X causes a change away from state set point. Response Y causes a return to set point basis of homeostasis
Term
Examples of Negative feedback are.............
Definition
blood pressure, ion concentrations, and muscle reflexes
Term
Positive feedback
Definition
(rare but important)

Event X causes a change to a new set point (set change) No return to original set point
Term
Example of positive feedback are..............................
Definition
Blood clot: going from liquid blood to a solid scab

Parturition: Having a baby inside you one min then not having anything there the next min.
Term
Cytosol
Definition
liquid portion: high protein content

Protein cluster: organized enzyme pathways enhance metabolism

*football analogy*
Term
Metabolism
Definition
thousands of reactions
Enzymes are proteins catalysts
Structural proteins energy production enzymes, storage and use of carbs and lipids
Term
protein synthesis
Definition
-Chain of connected amino acids
-Structure determined by genes mRna from nucleus codes for protein manufacture on ribosome's
-20 amino acids
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
-Combination of protein and RNA
-Free ribosomes make proteins for use in cytosol
-Few or no modification after production
-Chaperones help protein folding
-Proteins work when folded into proper shape, when it's taken out it's proper shape it's dysfunctional
Term
Storage
Definition
-Glycogen is polymer of glucose in muscle for use during contraction in liver to maintain blood glucose between meals some in many other tissue

-You need glucose present in body to keep function
Term
Endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
-Complex of interconnected membrane tubules
-Production of exported or organelle proteins
-Smooth and rough tubes are all connected
-Rough has ribosomes - site of protein synthesis
-Smooth has no ribosomes
Term
Rough ER
Definition
-Ribosomes link amino acids
-Newly formed protein threaded into ER lumen as it is made
-New proteins move through ER to Smooth ER
Term
Smooth ER
Definition
-Produces vesicles that carry new protein to Golgi Apparatus
-Produce new membrane complex lipid molecules ex. cholesterol
Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
-Series of flattened membrane tubes
-Receives vesicles from SER
-Site of protein modification
-Direct vesicles with new protein to specific organelles or the cell membrane
-Docking proteins on vesicles and destination membrane ensure proper delivery arranged as a lock and key arrangement
Term
Protein modification
Definition
-Protein in GA have amino acids removed or modified
-Sugars ware added to proteins and modified
-Proteins only work in specific shapes
-Most proteins naturally fold into their appropriate shape
-Chaperons ensure proteins fold properly
Term
Exocytosis
Definition
Vesicle from BA w/ export proteins merge w/ membrane and dump contents increase intracellular Ca +++ triggers exocytosis - ATP is needed
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
Contain digestive enzymes, merge w/endocytotic vesicles digestive molecules down to useable size, Protein to amino acids
-Complex carbs to monosaccharides
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
must occur to balance exocytosis
-Extracellular molecules bind receptors and trigger membrane infolding
-Bacteria or dead cells trigger phagocytosis
Term
Peroxisomes
Definition
many reactions
-Contains anit oxidants
-Destroy oxygen radicals (very reactive, destroy protein function)
Term
ATP
Definition
X-P has activity that X alone does not
X+ATP-> X-P + ADP
Term
Anaerobic Energy Production-glycolysis
Definition
-in cytoplasm (free ATP) and cell membrane (ATP for ion pumps)
-2 ATP/glucose w/o oxygen
Term
Mitochondria- Aerobic Energy Production
Definition
-double membrane structure
-outer membrane has larger pores
-TCA cycle inside matrix of inner membrane
-electron transport system part of the inside membrane using
Term
Citric Acid Cycle
Definition
Krebs cycle- TCA or citric acid cycle in mitochondrial matrix
Term
Mitochondrial Inner Membrane
Definition
-Cytochromes form electron transport system on inner membrane
-Oxidative Phosphorylation NADH donates electron to ETS, H+ follows, NAD recycled
-As e- passes, ATP made at 3 cytochromes e- + H++ oxygen -> H20 use of inhaled oxygen
Term
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Definition
microtubules MTS, kills, dividing cells
Term
