Study Notes
pH Scale
- Measures hydrogen ions (H+).
- Blood pH is 7.4.
- pH 7 is neutral.
- pH less than 7 is acidic.
- pH greater than 7 is basic.
Macromolecules
- Carbohydrates: Cellular fuel (e.g., glucose).
- Lipids: Energy storage.
- Proteins: Transport.
- Nucleic Acids: Store genetic information.
Anatomical Position
- Body is erect.
- Palms face forward.
- Feet are slightly apart.
- Thumbs point away from the body.
Body Quadrants
- Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ): Stomach.
- Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ): Small intestine.
- Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ): Liver.
- Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ): Appendix.
Signs of Inflammation
- Redness.
- Heat.
- Swelling.
- Pain.
- Impairment of function.
Homeostasis
- Stable internal conditions.
- Maintenance of internal environment.
- Nervous and endocrine systems (nerve impulses and hormones) accomplish this.
Feedback Mechanisms
- Negative Feedback: Response reduces or shuts off the original stimulus (e.g., glucose regulation, body temperature).
- Positive Feedback: Response enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus (e.g., childbirth, blood clotting).
Tonicity
- Hypotonic: Cell gains water.
- Hypertonic: Cell loses water, shrinks.
- Isotonic: No net movement of water, maintains cell size.
Selective Permeability
- Allows some materials to pass freely while restricting others.
- Factors affecting movement include size, electrical charge, molecular shape, and lipid solubility.
Epithelial Tissue Functions
- Protection: Stratified squamous epithelium (skin).
- Absorption: Simple columnar epithelium (small intestine).
- Filtration: Simple cuboidal epithelium (kidneys).
- Excretion: Transitional epithelium (urinary bladder).
- Secretion: Simple columnar epithelium (glands).
- Sensory Reception: Specialized epithelial cells (taste buds).
Muscle Tissue Types
- Skeletal Muscle: Attached to bone, voluntary movement.
- Cardiac Muscle: Heart, involuntary.
- Smooth Muscle: Primarily in hollow organs, involuntary.
Tissue Regeneration
- Regenerate: Bone and epithelial tissues.
- Do Not Regenerate: Cardiac muscle and nervous tissue.
Passive Transport
- Diffusion: Movement of molecules from high to low concentration.
- Osmosis: Movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from high to low water concentration.
- Facilitated Diffusion: Movement of molecules across a membrane with the help of a transport protein.
Endocrine vs. Exocrine Glands
- Endocrine Glands: Ductless, secrete hormones into the bloodstream (e.g., thyroid).
- Exocrine Glands: Secretory ducts, release substances onto body surfaces or into body cavities (e.g., sweat glands).
Blast Cells and Cyte Cells
- Blast Cells: Immature cells (e.g., fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts).
- Cyte Cells: Mature cells (e.g., chondrocytes, osteocytes).
