🗑
Atom   the basic unit of matter  
🗑
Molecule   two or more atoms united  
🗑
Compounds   two or more different atoms united  
🗑
Water   universal solvent; the most abundant compound; hydrogen and oxygen; needed by all living things to complete body processes (absorption, secretion, excretion)  
🗑
Mixture   two or more elements or compounds which are not chemically combined  
🗑
Solution   a substance which remains evenly distributed in a solvent, is a mixture but it remains evenly distributed  
🗑
Solvent   the dissolving substance, such as water  
🗑
Solute   the substance that is dissolved  
🗑
Suspension   a mixture that separates if it isn't shaken; Ex: milk of magnesia, salad dressing, blood  
🗑
Colloidal suspension   the molecules do not dissolve but remain distributed in the solvent; Ex: chocolate milk, tea  
🗑
Ions   an atom or a group of atoms with different charges; positive or negative charge  
🗑
Electrolytes   help to maintain pH & fluid balance; must be in exact quantities to maintain homeostasis of the intracellular & extracellular fluids found in the cells & in the body; during chemical reactions in the body, minerals tend to pick up an electrical charge  
🗑
Acids and Bases   the pH scale- how the hydrogen is balanced in the body  
🗑
pH scale   concentration of hydrogen ions; high=acid, low hydrogen=bases  
🗑
acidic   0-6; gives off a sour taste because it is giving off hydrogen; will turn litmus paper red  
🗑
neutral   7 on the pH scale  
🗑
base or alkaline   8-14 on the pH scale; will give bitter taste; will have soapy or slippery feel; collects hydrogen; turns litmus paper blue  
🗑
Tissue fluids   slightly salty; 0.9% salty; NSS(normal saline solution); isotonic solution; bathe the cells; deliver nutrients; return wastes to the blood  
🗑
Buffer   maintains constant pH of a solution; maintains stability of body fluids; allows the tissue fluids to be maintained  
🗑
Different forms of energy within the body   Heat, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical  
🗑
Heat   regulates body temperature  
🗑
Mechanical   moves food through the system; peristalsis-wave-like motion of the digestive tract used to move food through the system  
🗑
Electrical   electrolytes; nerve conduction; must be balanced  
🗑
Chemical   digestion; respiration; take in oxygen change it to carbon dioxide; digestion- breaking down of food needs chemicals, so does absorption  
🗑
