QuestionAnswer
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

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
