Cards

Term
Ventral Cavity
Definition
  • divided by a horizontal muscle, the diaphragm, into the thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity
  • contains the heart, lungs, and large vessels
Term
Two Dorsal cavities
Definition
  • Cranial cavity (containing the brain)
  • Spinal cavity (containing the spinal cord)
Term
Thoracic Cavity
Definition
  • lies above the diaphragm
  • divided by an imaginary line along the top of the pelvis into the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity
Term

Abdominal Cavity

 

Definition
  • contains most of the digestive organs and abdominal glands, such as the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and most of the intenstines
Term
Pelvic cavity
Definition
  • contains part of the large intestine as well as the reproductive organs
Term
Phospholipids
Definition
  • the lipid that forms the cell membrane
  • they are arranged in two layers oriented in two directions
  • hydrophilic heads at either edge that face the watery cytoplasm
  • hydrophobic tails form an internal oily layer that keeps the intracellular and extracellular fluids from mixing with each other
Term
Dehydration
Definition
  • water is released
  • hydrogen bonds connect to atoms (amino acids usually)
Term
Dordt framework
Definition
  • RO- religious orientation- whose am i- God's.. in his image
  • CS- creational structure- what is the world like- boy
  • CD- creational development- how did it get that way- sin
  • CR- contemporary response- what do i do about it- care for bodies, treat disease
Term
Cytoskeletal proteins
Definition
  • microfilaments- maintain cell shape, assist muscle contraction, form cilia/microvili
  • Intermediate filaments- maintain cell shape; strengthen nuclear envelope
  • Microtubules- organize organelles, move chromosomes and organelles, move vesicles, move cilia and flagells, assist muscle contraction
Term
Epithelia
Definition
  • classified according to the number of cell layers and the shape of the cells making up those layers
Term
Simple Squamous epithelia
Definition
  • flat cells
  • allow things to difuse through
Term
Simple cuboidal
Definition
  • secretion and absorption
  • boxy cells
Term
Simple columnar
Definition
  • absorption
  • long thin cells
Term
Stratified squamous
Definition
  • multiple layers of flat cells
  • only surface cells are squamous
  • protect against physical and chemical trauma
Term
Transitional
Definition
  • stretchy
  • boxy
  • allows distention
Term
Exocrine
Definition
  • type of gland
  • secrete their product into ducts
Term
Endocrine
Definition
  • no ducts
  • secrete their products into tiny blood vessels
Term
Homeostatic response
Definition
  • 3 components= sensor, integrating center, effector
  • EX. When blood loss has occured, baroreceptors signal to the integrating center that the blood pressure is low. The integrating center signals to breathe faster, increasing the blood pressure
Term
Sodium-potassium exchange pump
Definition
  • the cell uses atp to pump 3 sodiums out and 2 potassiums in
  • forms 2 gradients- potassium gradient, sodium gradient, and charge gradient
  • this is used for signaling
