ANATOMY
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Epithelial and connective tissues | have the greatest capacity to regenerate |
| Regeneration | growth of functional new tissue |
| Basal lamina | a thin, flat network of fibers secreted by the basal membrane of epithelial cells that remain connected to the cells |
| Proteoglycans | Examples: chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate |
| Elastic fibers | made of a protein called elastin |
| Anabolism | Many anabolic or “building” pathways occur in human cells. |
| By the action of specific enzymes, coenzymes, and other molecules, the aerobic pathway produces an output of | car-bon dioxide, water, and the real biochemical prize—energy in ATP |
| Electron Transport System | NADH (and FADH2) transfer the energized electrons to a set of special molecules embedded in the cristae of the inner mitochondrial membrane |
| Anaerobic pathway | fermentation |
| Oxytocin | hormone secrete by the pituitary gland |
| Feed-forward | is the concept that information may flow ahead to an-other process to trigger a change in anticipation of an event that will follow. |
| Functions of Nerve cells | Detect changes in internal or external environment Transmit nerve impulses from one part of the body to another |
| Functions Immune cells | Recognize and destroy “nonself” cells such as cancer cells and invading bacteria |
