Study Notes
Energy Storage/Inactive State
- Energy is inactive or stored.
Atomic Decay
- Spontaneous atomic decay is a process.
Solutions
- A solution is one in which the solute particles are relatively large.
Human Body Elements
- Four elements make up about 96% of the human body's weight: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Protein Structure
- Proteins' amino acid sequence is a key structural aspect.
Functional Proteins
- Functional proteins are another name for proteins containing the amino acid sequence.
Catalysts
- Catalysts speed up chemical reactions without changing themselves.
Nucleotides
- Nucleotides have three parts.
Fatty Acids
- Fatty acids with only single bonds between carbon atoms are a type of saturated fat.
Polysaccharides
- Polysaccharides (glycogen), found in muscle and liver tissue, convert to glucose molecules when needed.
Ribosome Assembly
- Ribosomes are assembled in a specific area of the cell.
Cell Junctions
- Tight junctions fuse adjacent plasma membranes, preventing substances from passing through the extracellular space.
Erythrocyte Function
- Erythrocytes' biconcave disc shape aids oxygen uptake.
White Blood Cell Function
- White blood cells utilize pseudopods (false feet) to reach infection sites.
Largest Cell
- The largest cell in the body is an oocyte.
Molecular Movement
- Molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (diffusion).
Endocytosis
- Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are two types of endocytosis.
Epithelial Tissue
- Simple squamous epithelium is an epithelial tissue primarily involved in absorption, found in lung air sacs.
Gland Types
- Endocrine and exocrine glands are two major types of glands derived from epithelial sheets.
Cartilage and Bone
- Chondrocytes are the major cell type in cartilage, while osteocytes are the major cell type in bone.
Muscle Tissue
- Skeletal muscle tissue is striated.
Body Cavities
- Membranes lining body cavities opening to the exterior are a type of mucous membrane.
Serous Membranes
- Serous membranes have visceral and parietal layers.
Integumentary System
- The integumentary system functions include protection, thermoregulation, excretion, and vitamin D synthesis.
Stratum Lucidum
- Stratum lucidum is a layer of the epidermis found in specific areas of the skin.
Keratinocytes
- Keratinocytes originate in the stratum basale.
Epidermal Ridges
- Capillary loops within dermal papillae provide nutrients to the epidermis and contribute to friction and gripping capabilities of fingers and feet.
Skin Pressure
- Skin pressure, impacting blood supply, can temporarily cause reddish skin, especially over bony projections.
Sweat Glands
- Eccrine glands are numerous sweat glands found across the body.
Bacterial Infections
- Staphylococcus aureus are bacteria associated with carbuncles.
Burns
- Third-degree burns extend destructively into the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues.
Skin Cancer
- Melanomas are cancers of melanocytes.
Energy Forms
- Potential energy and radioactivity are different energy forms.
Mixtures
- Suspension is a type of mixture.
Molecules in Biological Systems
- Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen are essential components of biological molecules.
Protein Shape
- The primary structure refers to a protein's amino acid sequence.
Biochemical Catalysts
- Catalysts, such as some proteins, are substances that accelerate chemical reactions.
Nucleic Acid Components
- Nucleotides, comprising a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group, are critical to nucleic acids.
Lipids
- Saturated fats are lipids.
Carbohydrates
- Glycogen is a carbohydrate.
Cellular Structures
- Nucleoli, tight junctions, biconcave discs, pseudopods (false feet), and oocytes are various structures within cells.
Cellular Processes
- Diffusion, phagocytosis, and pinocytosis are cellular processes.
Epithelial Tissues
- Simple squamous epithelium is a simple form of epithelium.
Glands
- Endocrine and exocrine glands are significant gland types.
Skeletal Components
- Chondrocytes and osteocytes are skeletal components.
Muscle Tissue Types
- Skeletal muscle tissue is a type of muscle tissue.
