Question
Answer
anatomy   study of structure and form  
🗑
physiology   study of function  
🗑
4 major categories of tissues   epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous  
🗑
where would you find epithelial tissue?   covers surface and lines bodies cavities  
🗑
3 shapes of epithelial cells   squamous, cuboidal, columnar  
🗑
loose connective tissue   loose collagen fibers that hold tissues and organs in place  
🗑
fibrous connective tis.   denser ropes of collagen fiber that comprise ligaments and tendons  
🗑
cartilage   rubbery matrix of collagen that cushions the bones.  
🗑
adipose connective tissue   comprised of fat cells, used for enegry and insulation  
🗑
bones   collagen in a matrix of calcium, serve as rigid framework for body  
🗑
blood   RBC and WBC in matrix= plasma. blood transports materials such as nutrients, waste, gas, denfense proteins thoughout the body  
🗑
3 muscle tissues   skeletal, smooth, cardiac  
🗑
______ and _______ are involuntary   smooth and cardiac  
🗑
lining the organs of the body is   smooth muscles  
🗑
attached to the bones is   skeletal muscle tissue  
🗑
2 types of cells found in nervous tissue   neurons- signal transmissionglial cells- care takers that nurish, insulate and prune away dead neurons  
🗑
what is the schwann cell   type of glial cell that increases the speed at which a singla passes through a neuron. contains myelin(insulator), forcing electric signal to jump over schwann cell  
🗑
4 steps for food processing   1. ingestion 2. digestion 3. absorption 4. elimination  
🗑
where does ingestion occur   oral cavity  
🗑
list 3 sites of digestion   1. oral cavity2. stomach3. small intesting  
🗑
digestion of starches in amylase   oral cavity  
🗑
digestion of protein by pepsin   stomach  
🗑
further digestion of starch by panceratic amylase and proteins by trypsin and chemotrypsins, digestion of fats with bile, and lipase, digestion of nucleic acids by nucleases   small intestine  
🗑
2 sites of absorption   nutrient absorption- small intestinewater absorption- large intestine  
🗑
buffers (component of saliva)   neutralize acidity  
🗑
antibacterials (component of saliva)   defense against potential pathogens  
🗑
amylase (component of saliva)   break down starches  
🗑
what are 3 components of gastric juices   HCL,Mucous, Pepsinogen/ Pepsin  
🗑
HCL does   breaks down cells and acts as another defense against pathogens  
🗑
Mucous   Protects stomach lining from HCL  
🗑
Pepsinogen/ Pepsin   breaks down proteins  
🗑
Pepsinogen is an _____ form of pepsin   inactive  
🗑
Activating pepsin only when needed _____ the chances of the stomach being digested by its own enezymes   decreases  
🗑
What are protective mechanisms to prevent the stomach from digesting itself   Pepsinogen/ Pepsin  
🗑
what makes up eliminated waste material from the digestive tract   dead bateria, and undigestable fiber  
🗑
what is bolus   food that has been chewed, mixed with saliva and swallowed  
🗑
what is acid chyme   bolus travels to stomach and mixes with gastric juices become chyme  
🗑
why is oxy. required by the body   for cellular resp. which occurs in mitochondria  
🗑
where does the carbon dioxide we exhale come from   carbon dioxide is realeased by mitochondria as a waste product from cellular respiration  
🗑
what are the necessary characteristics of a respiratory surface for efficient gas diffusion   thin and moist  
🗑
describe movement of oxygen as it diffuses through the alveoli all the way to its utilization in cellular respiration   oxygen diffuses through the alveoli and into capillaries of the circulatory system. The oxy. binds to the hemoglobin in the RBC. The oxy. is then releases and diffuses out of the cap. and into body cells to be used in mitochondria.  
🗑
carbon dioxide diffuses in 3 places   plasma, picked up by hemoglobin in RBC, and into aqueous portion of RBC's  
🗑
after carbon dioxide is diffused then what   carbon reacts with water to from carbonic acid. The carbonic acid then splits into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate  
🗑
where is the bicarbonate released   into plasma  
🗑
The bicarbonate contains   the carbon dioxide that was realsed into the aqueous portion of the RBC  
🗑
when the bicarbonate reaches the interface between ______ and _______, bicarbondate reenters the ____ and recombines with hydrogen ions to from water and carbon dioxide   blood capillaries and alveoli, RBC  
🗑
after bicarbonate recombines with hydrogen ions then carbon dioxide is now   diffuses into the alevoli along with the carbon dioxide in the plasma and the carbon dioxide bound to hemoglobin.  
🗑
3 functions of hemoglobin   1. transports oxy 2. transports carbon dio. 3. buffers blood by binding hydrogen ions  
🗑
how many oxy molecules can a single hemoglobin carry   4  
🗑
what binds to the iron atom within the hemoglobin   oxygen  
🗑
what occurs during hyperventiliation   taking in too much air. too much oxygen is taken in. blood ph inccreases  
🗑
if blood of PH increases what happens   the pons and medulla wil ceases sending signals to appropriate muscles to contract and breathing ceases until blood PH drops  
🗑
3 innate defense mechanisms   1. anibact in saliva 2. HCL in stomcach 3. hairs that line the nasal passages  
🗑
innate defense mechanisms are always   on  
🗑
simple stain   uses one dye to color all the cells  
🗑
differential stain   uses two dyes to distinguish between different microbial groups or cell parts  
🗑
staining is necessary because   cells are primary water  
🗑
gram stain   used to distinguish between two major groups of cells. gram post. and neg. based on differences in cell wall strucutre  
🗑
acid fast stain   used for certain genera such as mycobacterium  
🗑
mycobacterim are considered   gram positive; however their cell wall has a waxy lipid component that makes regular gram staining difficult  
🗑
AFS decolorization soultion contins   HCL  
🗑
endospore stain   differential stain technique distinguishes vegetative cells from endospores  
🗑
gram stain 4 steps   1. apply primary stain (crysital violet) to cells on slide2. apply morant (Grams Iodine) to slide3. decolorize with alochol/acetone4. apply counterstain (safranin)  
🗑
capsule stain   negative stain; acidic dye is used  
🗑
Mycoplasma   lacks a cell wall  
🗑
mycobacterium has   a cell wall which contains a waxy lipid component  
🗑
what is an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis   clarithromycin  
🗑
what is a heterotroph   acquires carbon from a substrate  
🗑
autotroph   has the capacity to create its own organic source  
🗑
why are nitrogen and phosphorous important   essential for protein and nucleic acid synthesis  
🗑
do all    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
