Human anatomy and Physiology 1

TermDefinition
If half of a DNA molecule is ACG-TCC-GTA, the complementary half would be TGC-AGG-CAT
Each strand of a replicated double helix of DNA is called Chromatid
What is the importance of mitosis? -Maintains chromosome number -Each cell type has certain genes turned "on" and other turned "off" to give different types of body cells. -Each cell in our body is genetically identical -important to the growth and repair of multicellular organisms.
What are the three main cell parts? plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus
What does the cholesterol molecule do for the membrane? Stabilize it (movement).
The plasma membrane consists primarily of Phospholipids and proteins
What is found in the cells nucleus? Chromatin, nucleolus, DNA
What is ER? Systems of membranous channels and saccules. It is attached to the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope
The plasma membrane is A selectively-permeable phospholipid bilayer forming the boundary of the cells
What differentiates passive transport from active transport? Passive transport does not use cellular energy while active transport uses cellular energy.
What happens to chromosome number as a result of mitosis it is halved
Functions of membrane proteins include all of the following except -Cell identification -stability -recepetors -carriers Answer: Stability
The material that is replicated prior to cell division is called DNA
The random movement of simple substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is called Diffusion
The movement of protein molecules with/in the phospholipid bilayer is described by the Fluid mosaic model
What is cytokinesis? Division of the cytoplasm and organelles
When does cytokineses begin and when does it end? Begins in anaphase and ends in telophase
There are four stages in mitosis What are they? Telophase, anaphase, metaphase, and prophase
What is cytoplasm? Gelatinous, semi-fluid of water and suspended and dissolved substance
What does the cytoplasm do Surrounds the cell, keeps it intact and regulates passage into and out if the cell
In the phospholipid Bilayer, what does protein serve as? Receptors, channels, and carries.
The movement if H2O across a plasma membrane is called diffusion
The chromosomes lining up randomly at the equator of the cell is during metaphase
The protein if the cell cycle when a cell is not dividing and doing what it is design to do is called Interphase
_____ are small hair-like extremities that produce movement across the surface of the cell Celia
Tightly coild rod like structures of DNA and proteins are called Chromosomes
-Has attached ribosomes/granules -Ribosomes synthesize (use) proteins that move towards the Golgi apparatus and eventually leave the cell. Rough ER
-Has no attached ribosomes/granules -Synthesizes phospholipids, detoxifies (purifies) drugs, and has other functions depending on the type of cell Smooth ER
What is used to maintain electrical neutrality? -produces ATP -digests food -stores food -produces protein Answer: Produces ATP.
What is the atomic # (or element identity) # of protons in nucleus
In chemical notation, the symbol a calcium ion that has lost two electrons
The weakest bond between two hydrogen
The arrangement of individual polypeptide in a protein containing more than one polypeptide results in a ___ level protein structure. Quaternary
What is an element? Basic substance that makes up matter
What is a compound Atoms of different elements bond
How do molecules bond When atoms bond to each other by covalent bonds
What is the mass # (element weight) # of protons PLUS the # of neutrons
Ionic bonds are formed when? electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another
Which one of the following changes would cause an atom to become a different element? Decrease in the number of protons
Which is the primary energy currency of cells/most important high energy compound ATP
Which bond results from the sharing of electrons? covalent bonds
The most important metabolic fuel in the body is glucose
what six elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, sulfur and phosphates
What are the four elements that makes up 90%of the human body hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen
Which is the most important high energy compound? ATP
Which of the following is not an example of a carbohydrate? Oil
Which of the following is not a cation Cl-
Which of the following statements about water is not correct? Has relatively low heat capacity
The pH of the least acidic solution is 12.0
What is the atomic # (or element identity) # of protons in nucleus
What is in the outer shell of the atom Electrons = (-) charge. (innermost shell has 2 electrons, and outer most shell has up to 8)
What makes up the nucleus? Protons (+) charge Neutrons = no charge/neutral
What is an atom? Smallest particle of an element that has physical and chemical properties of that element
What does the nervous system do? detects and processes sensory information, activates bodily responses
What does the cardiovascular system do? Delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, equalizes temp in the body.
What does the lymphatic system do? Returns fluid to blood, defends against pathogens
What does the respiratory system do? Removes carbon dioxide from the body, delivers oxygen to the blood.
Name the parts of the digestive system Stomach, liver, gall-bladder, large intestine, small intestine
Name the parts of the urinary system Kidneys and urinary bladder
Name the parts of the male reproductive system Epididymis and testes
Name the parts of the lymphatic system Thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, and lymphatic vessels
Name the parts of the cardiovascular system Heart, blood vessels
Name the parts of the female reproductive system mammary glands, ovaries, and uterus.
Name the parts of the integumentary system Hair skin and nails
Name the parts of the skeletal system cartilage, bones, joint
cartilage, bones, joint Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal glands, testes and ovaries.
Name the levels of organization from smallest to largest cells, atom, molecule, organelle, tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
What does the endocrine system do? Secretes hormones, regulates bodily processes
What does the muscular system do? Enables movement (with skeletal system), helps maintain body temp.
Name the part that fall into the nervous system Brain, Spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
What does the integumentary system do? Encloses internal body structures and is the site of many sensory receptors.
What does the skeletal system do? Supports the body and enables movement W/ muscular system
What does the digestive system do? Processes food for use by the body, Removes wastes from undigested food.
What does the urinary system do? controls water balance in the body, removes wastes from the blood and excretes them
What does the reproductive system do? Produces sex hormones and gametes, delivered gametes to female
What does the female reproductive system do? Produces sex hormones and gametes, supports embryo/fetus until birth, produces breast milk for infant
Name the parts of the Respiratory system Nasal passage, trachea, and lungs.
