Study Notes
Abdominal Quadrants and Organs
- Appendix is located in the right lower quadrant (RLQ)
- Spleen is located in the left upper quadrant (LUQ)
- Liver is located in the right upper quadrant (RUQ)
Filtration in Nephrons
- Filtrate moves from Bowman's capsule into the Proximal Convoluted Tubule
- Filtrate moves from the Proximal Convoluted Tubule to the Loop of Henle
- Filtrate moves from the Loop of Henle to the Distal Convoluted Tubule
- Filtrate moves from the Distal Convoluted Tubule to the Collecting Duct
Monomers and Polymers
- Monomers are combined to form polymers through dehydration reactions
- Polymers are broken down into monomers through hydrolysis reactions
Cell Function and Organelles
- The cytoplasm is the fluid medium that surrounds and supports organelles
- The cytoplasmic membrane separates the cell from its outside
- The vacuole serves as a container
- Mitochondria produce most ATP
- Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes
- Centrioles govern cell division
Protein Bonds
- Peptide bonds hold amino acids together in a protein chain
Energy Production and Fat Metabolism
- During starvation, glycogen stores are used first
- When glycogen stores deplete, the body uses fats as an energy source
- Excess fats are stored in adipocytes
Other Metabolic Processes
- Deamination of amino acids produces ammonia as a byproduct
- Ammonia is converted into urea by the liver
- Urea, a less toxic form of ammonia, is excreted by the kidneys
Types of Muscle Tissue
- Skeletal muscles are striped, consciously controlled, and contain multiple nuclei
- Cardiac muscles are branched, contain intercalated discs, and contain multiple nuclei
- Smooth muscles are non-striped, contain a single nucleus, and are found in internal organs
Organic Compounds
- Organic compounds contain carbon
Body Cavities
- The dorsal cavity houses the brain and spinal cord
- The pericardial cavity contains the heart
- The abdominal cavity contains the liver, stomach, intestines, and other organs.
- The pelvic cavity contains rectum, urinary bladder, and reproductive organs.
- The pleural cavity contains the lungs
Other Important Information
- The lowest form of energy is heat, and the highest is light
- A balanced diet has 20% calories from fat, 50% calories from carbohydrates, and 30% calories from protein.
- Excess dietary fat is stored as is.
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high-energy compound used for cellular work
- The components of an ATP are adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups and the high energy bond is between the second and third phosphate group.
- The process of copying a single gene from the DNA library yields mRNA
- Simple diffusion moves molecules down a concentration gradient
- Osmosis is the passive movement of water across a cell membrane
- During starvation, the body first uses glycogen for glucose but when glycogen stores are used up it then uses fats for energy
- The brain needs glucose and cannot use ketones for energy.
