Study Notes
Tissues
- Tissues are groups of cells working together to perform specific functions
- Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines cavities, and forms glands
- Connective tissue supports, protects, and binds other tissues
- Muscle tissue produces movement through contraction
- Nervous tissue transmits electrical signals for communication
Epithelial Tissues
- Closely packed cells with little extracellular matrix
- Avascular (no blood vessels)
- High regeneration capacity
- Classified by cell layers (simple, stratified, pseudostratified) and cell shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar)
- Locations include air sacs of lungs, blood vessels, lining of organs like the uterus and stomach, ducts of glands, etc.
Connective Tissues
- Composed of cells, fibers (collagen, reticular, elastic), and ground substance
- Types include loose connective (areolar, adipose, reticular), dense connective (regular, irregular, elastic), and specialized connective (cartilage, bone, blood)
- Adipose tissue stores energy, insulates, and cushions organs
Muscle Tissues
- Types include skeletal (voluntary, striated), smooth (involuntary, non-striated), and cardiac (involuntary, striated)
- Locations include skeletal muscles attached to bones, walls of hollow organs, and heart walls
- Functions include movement (skeletal), pumping blood (cardiac), and moving substances (smooth)
Nervous Tissue
- Function is to transmit electrical signals for communication
- Cell types: neurons (conduct impulses) and neuroglia (support neurons)
- Locations: brain, spinal cord, nerves
Levels of Organization
- Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
- Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite external changes
Feedback Loops
- Components include receptor (detects change), control center(processes information), and effector (carries out response).
- Examples include negative feedback loops (body temperature regulation) and positive feedback loops (childbirth).
Structure/Function
- Structures like bones provide support and protection.
Interdependence of Systems
- Respiratory and circulatory systems work together to deliver oxygen to tissues
Gradients and Flows
- Gradients (differences in concentration, pressure, or charge) drive processes like diffusion and oxygen entering cells.
Chemistry in A&P
Atomic Structure
- Subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons)
- Isotopes (atoms with different numbers of neutrons)
- Chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, hydrogen)
Reactions
- Synthesis (anabolic)
- Decomposition (catabolic, hydrolysis)
- Enzymes: speed up reactions by lowering activation energy
pH and Buffers
- pH measures hydrogen ion concentration
- Normal pH range is 7.35-7.45
- Buffers stabilize pH
Molecules in A&P
- Water: solvent, temperature regulation, lubrication
- Organic molecules: carbohydrates provide energy, lipids store energy and form membranes, proteins have diverse functions, nucleic acids store genetic information (DNA, RNA)
- ATP: primary energy source
Cell Overview
- Cells are the basic unit of life
- Parts include plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus
- Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Cellular Transport
- Passive transport (no energy required): diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion.
- Active transport (energy required) moves substances against a concentration gradient.
Cellular Communication and Division
- Cells communicate via signaling molecules that bind to receptors
- Stages of the cell cycle include G1, S, G2, and M (mitosis).
- Mitosis includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Organelles and Their Functions
- Smooth ER: synthesizes lipids, detoxifies substances
- Mitochondria: produces ATP (energy)
- Cytoskeleton: provides structural support, facilitates movement
- Ribosomes: synthesizes proteins
- Peroxisomes: detoxifies harmful substances
- Lysosomes: breaks down waste and cellular debris
