Cards

Term
Define Glycolysis
Definition

Process in the body. Occurs from sugar molecules splitting: in the cytoplasm so no O2 is needed.

Yields 2 Pyruvates and 2 ATP.

Term
What are the 4 means for Glucolysis
Definition

1. Glycolysis  2. Aerobic (Krebs cycle)  3. Anaerobic   

4.Oxidative Phosphorylation

Term
Aerobic Respiration
Definition

Requires O2.

Mitochondria.

Complex RXN's

2 atp +FAD/NAD(carrier electrons)

O.P.(Oxidative Phosphorylation)

= 34 ATP

Term
Anaerobic Fermentation
Definition

NO O2.

Cytoplasm.

in muscles, RBC's

Pyruvate -> 2 ATP -> Lactic Acid

Liver -> Lactic Acid -> Pyruvate

Stored until O2 available.

 

Term
Physiological Variations
Definition

Differentiates among people. 

EX... Athletes resting HR will be lower than that of an obesse pt

Term
Homoestasis
Definition

Bodies ability to remain balanced.

Self restoration.

Term
Internal ways to affect homeostasis
Definition
Pathogens, drugs, alchohol, anything absorbed.
Term
External ways to affect homeostasis
Definition
Temp ^, Diaphoretic, skin color(pale)
Term
Negative Loop
Definition
Most common... Good thing... Return to homeostasis
Term
Positive loop
Definition
Mainly bad thing...1 good thing(baby...OB) does not return to homeostasis until stimulus removed...can reslut in death(virus)
Term
Hypoglycemia
Definition

Low blood sugar...diabetics

 

R:pancreas

CC:Beta cells->release insulin

E:Liver/skeletal cells, absorb glucose

Term
Hyperglycemia
Definition

High blood sugar...Diabetics

 

R:Pancrease

CC:Glucagon

Eff:Liver

Term

Atom

 

Element

 

Minerals

 

Isotopes

 

Ions

Definition

Smallest particle

 

Simplest form of matter with unique properties

 

Inorganic elements from earth (ex.. O,Fe,K)

 

Variation of an element, same chem properties(radiation when decay)

 

                                     Cations

Charged particles--/

                          \

                                    Anions

 

 

Term
Electrolytes
Definition

Substences that ionize(split) in H2O

Conduct electricity

Nerves,Muscles,HEART need

Term
Free Radicles
Definition
Byproducts of metabolism
Term

Passive Membrane Transport

 

 

 

Definition

Fitration-Physical force(BP) that forces substance thru membrane

Diffusion: H->L...liquids, solids, gas(if permeable it goes through.

affected by temp..Temp^ Rate ^

WT^ Rate down

Surface area ^ Rate ^

 

Term
Active Membrane Transport
Definition

Against Gradient 

L->H

 

Na+ out    K+ in

 

Vesicular transport

endocytosis bring in

Phagocytosis cell eating

pinocytosis cell drinking

Exocytosis move out

Term

Hypertonic saline

 

Isotonic saline

 

Hypotonic saline

Definition

3% saline NaCl high solutes low solvent

 

0.9% saline NaCl  solutes=solvents

 

0.45% saline NaCl Low solutes High solvents

Term
Acid base Balance
Definition

PH=potentiol of hydrogen

 

PH  0-14 

0 acidosis high acid low base

14 alkalosis high base low acid

 

want to be slightly alkaline

Term

Blood buffer

 

Lungs

 

Kidneys

Definition

reacts within seconds

 

reacts within mins

 

reacts within hours

Term

Catabolism

 

 

Anabolism

Definition

Breaks large molecules into smaller (eating)

 

Builds from small to large(muscle growth)

Term

Saturated fats

 

unsatuerated fats

 

Cholesterol

Definition

Hydrogen saturated. binds to one another(meat eggs dairy)

 

No excess fats no binding(nuts seeds fish)

 

Vital for all body functions..produced in liver.
