|---|---|
| Homeostasis (Chp 2) | "Standing or staying the same"; relatively constant states maintained by the body |
| Intrinsic control vs. Extrinsic control (Chp 2) | Intrinsic control mechanisms operate at the tissue and organ levels (local conrol or autoregulation) Extrinsic control " outside" control and operates at the system and organism levels. |
| Major Functions of Lipid Compounds (Chp 4) | Energy, structure, vitamins, protection, insulation, regulation |
| Hydrophilic vs Hydrophobic (Chp 4) | Hydrophilic: water loving; related to phospholipid heads Hydophobic: water fearing; nonpolar and relating to fatty acid tails |
| Osmotic Pressure (Chp 6) | Refers to the pressure that prevents the movement of water by osmosis from pure water into the solution. |
| Sodium-Potassium pump (Chp 6) | Actively transports sodium ions and potassium ions but in opposite directions (3-2 ratio) |
| Obligatory Base Pairing (Chp 7) | Two bases join to form each step of DNA; Guanine to Cytosine, Thymine to Adenine and vice versa |
| Mitosis (Chp 7) | The process of organizing and distributing nuclear DNA during cell division. |
| Histogenesis (Chp 8) | The differentiation of cells into specialized tissues and organs during growth. |
| Tissue Repair and Regeneration (Chp 8) | Phagocytic cells remove dead or injured cells and fill in the gaps that are left; growth of functional new tissue |
| Hematopoeisis (Chp 11) | Blood cell formation; a vital process carried on by red bone marrow. |
| Osteoblasts vs osteoclasts vs osteocytes (Chp 11) | Osteoblasts: bone forming cells Osteoclasts: bone-reabsorbing cells Osteocytes: mature bone cells |
| Ethmoid Air Cells (Chp 12) | The lateral masses of the ethmoid bone that are honeycombed with sinus spaces. |
| Mastoiditis (Chp 12) | Inflammation of the air spaces within the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. |
| The functions of the pelvic outlet (Chp 13) | Where the digestive tract empties and childbirth |
| Displaced/Open/Compound Fracture (Chp 13) | one in which broken bone projects through the surrounding tissue and skin. |
| Menisci (articular disks) (Chp 14) | Pads of fibrocartilage located between the articulating ends of bones in some diarthroses; divide joint cavity |
| Prepatellar bursitis (Chp 14) | Painful ailment commonly called "housemaid's knee" or "surfer's knee"; inflammation of the prepatellar bursa |
| Acetylcholine (Chp 17) | A neurotransmitter released into the synaptic cleft that bind with the matching receptors to initiate an electrical impulse. |
| Creatine Phosphate (Chp 17) | A backup energy molecule that provides enough energy for about 20 additional seconds of maximal contraction. |
