Study Notes
Physiology
- The human body's ability to maintain a stable internal temperature is an example of homeostasis.
- Homeostasis is a process where the body maintains a stable internal environment.
- Positive feedback is a response that enhances a stimulus
- The effector produces the response that moves the physiological variable back towards the middle of its healthy range.
- Homeostasis is a balanced process where an integrating center compares sensor input to a "set point".
Cell Biology
- Cell biology defines terms in the field of cell biology.
- The human body is organized into cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
- Characteristics of life include organization, metabolism, responsiveness, growth, development, reproduction, and adaptation.
- Cells are composed of a plasma membrane, cytosol, nucleus and intracellular organelles.
- The human cell is largely composed of water (70-85%), ions, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
- The cell membrane is comprised of a phospholipid bilayer and cholesterol.
- Cholesterol limits the movement of phospholipids, providing stability to the plasma membrane.
