    Study Notes

    Organs and Their Locations

    • Right Upper Quadrant contains liver, gall bladder, part of pancreas, part of stomach, and upper colon.
    • Left Upper Quadrant houses the stomach, spleen, part of liver, and upper colon.
    • Right Lower Quadrant includes small intestine, appendix, ascending colon, part of bladder, and reproductive organs.
    • Left Lower Quadrant consists of small intestine, descending and sigmoid colon, part of bladder, and reproductive organs.

    Requirements for Survival

    • Water makes up 60–80% of body weight; it serves as a medium for metabolic reactions and helps maintain stable body temperature.
    • Essential for nutrient absorption and oxygen/gas exchange.
    • Nutrients and appropriate atmospheric pressure are vital for metabolic processes.

    Chemistry and Biochemistry

    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass; it can exist in solid, liquid, or gas states.
    • Elements are the fundamental units of matter.
    • Biochemistry focuses on the chemistry of living organisms, including their chemical characteristics and reactions.

    Energy Concepts

    • Energy is the ability to do work and can be stored in different forms (kinetic and potential).
    • Nervous system requires the most energy among body systems.
    • Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted. Most conversions are inefficient, leading to energy loss.

    Types of Energy

    • Chemical Energy is stored in chemical bonds and released during reactions such as anabolism (building) and catabolism (breaking down).
    • Electrical Energy powers the nervous system.
    • Mechanical Energy is utilized by muscles.
    • Radiant Energy includes sunlight, which travels in waves.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Involves making or breaking bonds between atoms, with total atom count remaining constant but reorganized.
    • Types of reactions: Synthesis (A + B → AB), Decomposition (AB → A + B), and Exchange (AB + CD → AD + CB).

    Factors Influencing Chemical Reactions

    • Reaction speeds can be increased by temperature, particle concentration, particle size, and the presence of catalysts.

    Inorganic vs. Organic Compounds

    • Inorganic compounds lack carbon, are often small and simple; carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are exceptions.
    • Organic compounds contain carbon, are typically larger and more complex, and include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

    Lipids

    • Triglycerides are the most abundant and concentrated energy source, made of fatty acids and glycerol.
    • Phospholipids consist of glycerol, two fatty acid chains, and a phosphorus-containing group, forming cell membranes.
    • Steroids are flat molecules with interlocking rings, used to form hormones, vitamin D, and bile salts.

    Proteins

    • Composed of amino acids with an amine group and acid group. Proteins serve various functions, including structure and catalyzing reactions as enzymes.
    • Enzymes act as biological catalysts, increasing reaction rates without being consumed in the process.

    Nucleic Acids

    • Make up genes, composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Major types include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) which are essential for genetic information.
