Physiology | function of the body's structural machinery |
Processes for maintaining or restoring homeostasis are known as | homeostatic control mechanisms. |
Which level of control operates at the cell level, often using genes and enzymes to regulate cell function? | intracellular regulation |
Events that lead to an immune response to an infection or the formation of a blood clot are examples of | positive feedback. |
The concept that information may flow ahead to another process to trigger a change in anticipation of an event that will follow is called | feed-forward. |
RNA makes proteins by | translation. |
The result of meiosis is | four daughter cells that are haploid. |
Biomolecules | Any molecule present in a living organism, often carbon-based (organic). |
Atomic mass | Number of protons plus neutrons. |
Valence Electrons | Electrons in outer electron shell. Unfilled outer shell causes atom to become unstable. Determines bonding potential. |
Water & Hydrogen bonds | Polar molecule, Good solvent (substances dissolve in it), Can form strong hydrogen bonds, Polar molecules (covalent bonds) may dissolve in water and are called hydrophilic, Nonpolar molecules do not dissolve in water and are called hydrophobic |
Ionic bonds | one atom gives electrons to another so that both have filled valence shells. Weaker than covalent bonds. |
electron donor | becomes positively charged; the atom now called a cation. |
What is the breakdown of our Nervous system? | Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System Sensory (Afferent) nerves Motor (efferent) nerves Somatic Nervesous system Autonomic Nervous system (this makes up the Sympathetic & the Parasympathetic_ |
Sensory nerves are responsible for what? | Sensory nerves are responsible for what? These nerves are responsible for informing the CNS about what is going on within and outside the body. |
What are the Motor (efferent) nerves responsible for? | These nerves are responsible for sending information from the CNS to the Various tissues, organs, and systems of the body in response to the signals coming in from the sensory division. |
