It explains how different body parts work together to maintain homeostasis, the stable internal environment necessary for survival. The body uses **feedback mechanisms** to regulate physiological processes: - **Negative feedback** helps maintain stability by reversing a change (e.g., temperature regulation). - **Positive feedback** enhances a change until a specific outcome is reached (e.g., childbirth contractions). Physiologists use **the scientific method** to study body functions, conducting experiments to test hypotheses and develop medical advancements. **1.2 Flashcards** 1. **What is physiology?** - The study of how the body functions at different levels. 2. **Define homeostasis.** - The body\'s ability to maintain a stable internal environment. 3. **What is negative feedback?** - A control mechanism that counteracts changes to restore balance. 4. **Give an example of negative feedback.** - Regulation of body temperature (sweating when hot, shivering when cold). 5. **What is positive feedback?** - A control mechanism that amplifies changes instead of reversing them. 6. **Give an example of positive feedback.** - Oxytocin release during childbirth, which strengthens contractions. 7. **What is the role of the scientific method in physiology?** - It helps scientists conduct experiments and develop medical advancements. **1.3 Definitions & Medical Examples** - **Homeostasis** -- The body\'s ability to maintain stable conditions.\ **Example:** Blood glucose regulation through insulin and glucagon. - **Negative Feedback** -- A process that stabilizes a physiological function.\ **Example:** Blood pressure regulation by the nervous system. - **Positive Feedback** -- A mechanism that amplifies physiological responses.\ **Example:** Blood clotting after an injury to prevent excessive bleeding. - **Set Point** -- The ideal value for a physiological condition (e.g., normal body temperature of 98.6°F or 37°C).\ **Example:** Deviations from set points trigger regulatory mechanisms. - **Scientific Method** -- A systematic approach to experimentation and observation.\ **Example:** Clinical trials test new treatments for diseases like diabetes. **1.4 Study Guide Format** **Key Topics to Review** ✔ Definition of Physiology\ ✔ Homeostasis & Its Importance\ ✔ Negative vs. Positive Feedback\ ✔ Examples of Physiological Regulation\ ✔ The Scientific Method in Physiology CHAPTER 2 MOLECULES AND BONDS Lipids \- Fatty acid \- monosachharides -saturated (hydrogen all) -unsaturated(missing H) -poly (many) Glycerol \- Structure, backbone of most lipids \- More than 90% of lipids are In the form of triglycerids Eicosanoids (Make sure to spell) \- Thromoxanes= form thrombosis= blood clots Sterioids \- Lipids trimeans Prostaglandins- Cholestrol (Structure) \- building block for steroid hormones.

All amino acids have a carboxyl group, C O O H, an amino group, N H 2, and a hydrogen attached to the same carbon. The fourth bond of the carbon attaches to a variable R group. The nitrogen in the amino group makes proteins our major dietary source of nitrogen. The R groups differ in their size, shape, and ability to form hydrogen bonds or ions. Because of the different R groups, each amino acid reacts with other molecules in a unique way. In a peptide bond, the amino group of one amino acid joins the carboxyl group of the other, with the loss of water.  Elevated proteins of **Note:** A few amino acids do not occur in proteins but have important physiological functions. - **Homocysteine**: a sulfur-containing amino acid that in excess is associated with heart disease - ***γ**-***amino butyric acid** (gamma-amino butyric acid) or **GABA**: a chemical made by nerve cells - **Creatine**: a molecule that stores energy when it binds to a phosphate group STRUCTURE: Hemoglobin- (What kind of structure) A diagram shows quaternary structure of peptides and proteins.

The diagram shows a hemoglobin molecule structured with a network of different tightly coiled strands. LDL- Transport proteins Nucleotides  LOCATE bases, sugar, and phosphates NON COVALENT INTERACTIONS Solubility REMEMBER DEFINITIONS HERE: A list of solutions terminology. A solute is any substance that dissolves in a liquid. The degree to which a molecule is able to dissolve in a solvent is the molecule's solubility. The more easily a solute dissolves, the higher its solubility. A solvent is the liquid into which solutes dissolve. In biological solutions, water is the universal solvent. A solution is the combination of solutes dissolved in a solvent. The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute per unit volume of solution. Concentration equals solute amount divided by volume of solution. An accompanying image shows a spoonful of a powdery substance being added to a liquid in a beaker to form a solution.

Mitochondria only from mom is given to fetus. Cholesterol = Steroids Golgi Apparatus- packaging of proteins Lysosomes- break down bacteria and old organelles Peroxisomes- break down fatty acids and toxic materials Three diagrams show organelles in cells. The first diagram shows mitochondria, which are spherical to elliptical organelles with a double wall that creates two separate compartments within the organelle. The inner matrix is surrounded by a membrane that folds into leaflets called cristae. The intermembrane space, which lies between the two membranes, plays an important role in A T P production. The outer membrane encases the entire organelle. Mitochondria are the site of most A T P synthesis in the cell. The second diagram shows Golgi apparatus and their vesicles. The Golgi apparatus consists of a series of hollow curved sacs called cisternae stacked on top of one another and surrounded by vesicles. The Golgi apparatus participates in protein modification and packaging. The third diagram shows an ectoplasmic reticulum and their ribosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of interconnected membrane tubes that are a continuation of the outer nuclear membrane. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has a granular appearance due to rows of ribosomes dotting its cytoplasmic surface. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and appears as smooth membrane tubes. The rough E R is the main site of protein synthesis. The ribosomes are protrusions on the surface of the reticulum. The smooth E R synthesizes lipids and, in some cells, concentrates and stores calcium ions.  Nucleus \- 2 membrane with pores Pore complexes \- communication between nucleus and cytosol Nucleoli \- synthesis of ribosomal RNA \- Nucleus. The nucleus is surrounded by a double-membrane nuclear envelope. Both membranes of the envelope are pierced here and there by pores to allow communication with the cytoplasm. The outer membrane of the nuclear envelope connects to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In cells that are not dividing, the nucleus appears filled with randomly scattered granular material composed of D N A and proteins. Usually a nucleus also contains from one to four larger dark-staining bodies of D N A, R N A, and protein called nucleoli.

The upper part of membrane, the apical membrane is populated with microvilli. Tight junctions in a transporting epithelium prevent movement between adjacent cells. Substances must instead pass through the epithelial cell, crossing two phospholipid cell membranes as they do so. CILIA\ - move fluid and particles in the respiratory system and female reproductive tract \- prevents exchange \-  A diagrammed representation of the protective epithelium. A diagram shows cell layers in skin. Protective epithelia have many stacked layers of cells that are constantly being replaced. SECRETORY EPITHELIA\ - goblet cells are found in the intestines produce mucus \- exocrine glands: A diagram shows the development of endocrine and exocrine glands. During development, the region of epithelium destined to become glandular tissue divides downward into the underlying connective tissue. The epithelium is located above the connective tissue. A hollow center, or lumen, forms in exocrine glands, creating a duct that provides a passageway for secretions to move to the surface of the epithelium. The duct is surrounded by the exocrine secretory cells. Endocrine glands lose the connecting bridge of cells that links them to the parent epithelium. Their secretions go directly into the bloodstream. The connecting cells disappear into the connective tissue beneath the epithelium. A blood vessel runs through endocrine secretory cells located in the connective tissue. CONNECTIVE TISSUE\ - ground substance (matrix) \- made by fibroblast \- moble cells (blood)  Macrophages- fight invaders come from the tissue ( CELL SECTION VERY IMPORTANT ) A diagram of a blood cell Description automatically generated - Types of Connective Tissue - Loose connective tissues - Elastic tissues under skin - Provide support for small glands - Dense connective tissues - Irregular and regular - Provide strength or flexibility - Tendons -- skeltal muscles to bone - Ligaments -- bone to bone A photograph illustrates lose connective tissues. Loose connective tissue is very flexible, with multiple cell types and fibers. Collagen fibers are found in crossed patterns the tissue surface. Free macrophages are spots found close to the elastic fibers. Fibroblasts are cells that secrete matrix proteins. Ground substance is the matrix of loose connective tissue.
