    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).
