EEOB Exam 1

Exam 1 Notes

QuestionAnswer
What is physiology? How an organism works1. Ions and Proteins2. Respiratory, circulatory, renal systems2. Integration of1. Anatomy2. Biology3. Chemistry4. Physics
Body Organization 1. Cell2. Tissue3. Organs4. Organ Systems
Cell Categories 1. Muscle2. Nerve3. Epithelial4. Connective
Tissue Categories 1. Muscle2. Nerve3. Epithelial4. Connective
Muscle Cell Function Generate mechanical force
Nerve Cell Function Initiate and conduct electrical signals
Epithelial Cell Function Regulate interactions with environment1. Skin2. Renal3. Respiratory4. Digestive
Connective Cell Function Connect, anchor, and support1. Bone2. Red blood cells (move oxygen)3. White blood cells (immunity)4. Fat stores (provide energy)
Homeostasis Relatively stable maintenance of a body parameter--> Dynamic constancy
Homeostatic Control System Set of interconnected componentsKeeps a body parameter in range (98.6 degrees give or take a few degrees)If disturbed, will usually return to set point (SP)
Steady State (SS) Parameter at set point=system not changing but energy usedRequires balancing/trade-offs (b/c of limited amount of energy)
Feedback * Reactive --> response is feedback*Negative-->returns toward SS (Sweat)*Positive-->Continues in direction away from SS (childbirth)
Feedforward Anticipating regulation* Proactive à preparation is feedforward (FF) ex: Wearing a coat on a cold day
Receptor Receives stimulus (external or internal)
Afferent pathway (going towards something) Integrating center (ex: brain, gland)
Efferent pathway (going away from something)
Effector 1. Responds causing physiological change2. Positive/negative feedback (often negative feedback)
Autocrine released to interstitial fluid (IF), *effector=releaser
Cytokine released to IF/plasma/lymph, signal immune system
Gap junctions direct channels between adjacent cells (stays within intracellular)
Juxtacrines bound to cell membrane (means they are not released)
Endocrine (AKA hormone) Released by:gland or neuronPathway: PlasmaCommunicates with: Distant effector
Paracrine Released by:almost any cellPathway: Interstitial fluid (IF)Communicates with: neighbor effectors
Neurotransmitter Released by: neuronPathway: Intersititial fluid (IF)Communicates with: neighbor effectors or neuron
Adaptation (Ad) trait that favors survival1. Arises via natural selection; genetic; species level
Acclimatization (Ac) 1. Use-based; not genetic; happens on individual level2. Usually reversible; exception is developmental Ac (sex development)
Biorhythms Combination of Feedforward, Adaptation, and Acclimatization; Proactive instead of reactive (trigger internal, clock reset); Ex: Circadian, annual, lunar rhythm
Subcellular Composition Ions, Free Radicals, Molecular Bonds
Ions Have a charge; AKA electrolytes; Net positive=cation; Net negative=anion
Free Radicals Single electron (e-) in outer orbit; Removes e-from another=oxidizing; We make free radicals (effective against pathogens but nondiscriminant--> need donors to neutralize (Vitamins A and D))
Molecular Bonds Covalent vs Noncovalent
Covalent Bonds Atoms share electrons (e-) unequally-->creates partial charge; polar (hydrophilic, lipophobic) vs nonpolar (hydrophobic, lipophilic) vs amphipathic (polar and nonpolar; strongest bond
Noncovalent Bonds Ionic bond=electrical attraction b/w anions and cations (Strong without water so it is weak in physiology); Hydrogen bonding=interaction with bound Hydrogen (H)(weak bond); Hydrophobic bonding=avoiding polar bonds (weak bond)
Plasma Membrane Functions Regulate movement from in (intracellular), out (extracellular), and within cell; Site of receptors for chemical messengers; Hold cells in place in extracellular matrix; Provide basis for cell shape and motility; Provide substrate for cell-to-cell contact
Plasma Membrane Components In fluid mosaic form; Phospholipid bilayer; Cholesterol; Proteins; Glycocalyx; Junctions
Phospholipid Bilayer Main building block of plasma membrane; Polar head and 2 Nonpolar tails (fatty acids); Amphipathic --> spontaneously form bilayer
Cholesterol Important in vesicle formation; Amphipathic; Not found in organelles
Proteins Integral: Serve as channels, receptors, and anchors (amphipathic, many transmembrane, not able to be removed); Peripheral: Impact shape and motility of cell (polar, found on cystolic surface)
Glycocalyx Allows for ID and interaction; Short, branched carbohydrates; gives "fuzzy" surface
Junctions Physical connection for cells; Purposes: Interactions, forming tissues; Tight Junctions: Joining of plasma membranes (Forms a band around the cell
Gap Junctions Channels linking 2 cytosols (Small so there is limited exchange);
Desmosome Protein linkage between cells (spot welds)
Tight Junctions Joining of plasma membranes; Forms a band around the cell; Block interstitial fluid flow; Type of epithelial cell
Cellular Metabolic Pathways Energy Source=ATP (adenosine triphosphate); Phosphate bonds are high energy; ATP <--> ADP + Pi + energy; ATP generated in 2 ways (Substrate Level Phosphorylation and Electron Transport Chain (Oxidative Phosphorylation))
Substrate level phosphorylation Bound Pi transferred to ADP (ATP + X <--> ADP + XPi); Glycolysis --> Krebs cycle
Glycolysis Catabolism of carbs(glucose); Start point=carb; Series of 10 enzymatic reactions; Location=Cytosol of the cell; Net Production=2 ATP, some H+, and pyruvate(O2-aerobic) or lactate (no O2-anaerobic); High [ATP] down regulates
Krebs Cycle AKA Citric Acid Cycle or Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle; Start Point=Mainly pyruvate from glycolysis; Series of 8 enzymatic reactions; Location=mitochondria; Net Production=2 ATP, some H+ and CO2; O2 indirectly required to recycle coenzymes;
Oxidative phosphorylation= Electron Transport Chain Energy input allows unbound Pi to bind ADP; Start Point=H+ and coenzymes; Location=mitochondria; Net Production=34 ATP, water and recycled coenzymes; O2 directly required; Instead of H2O, can produce O2 and OH (free radicals)
Membrane Transport Unaided movement depends on (size-smaller=easier; Charge: nonpolar=easier); Result for “not easier”: Electrochemical gradients (Polarity and type: together give the direction (in or out of cell)); Protein channels (Regulate transport)
Diffusion basics Movement from high to low concentration; Dependent on: Permeability (direct), Surface area of interface (direct), Concentration gradient (direct), Distance (inverse)
Diffusion through lipid bilayer With gradient (i.e. high to low); no energy cost; Small, nonpolar (ex O2, CO2, fatty acids); Problem:No O2 storage in cells; Solution: Set gradient in "correct" direction

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
