| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Negative Feedback Mechanism | The response counteracts the stimuli |
| Positive Feedback Mechanism | The response amplifies the stimuli |
| Carbohydrates | Sugars that provide energy (EX: saccharides) |
| Nucleic Acids | Store and transfer genetic information (Ex: DNA, RNA) |
| Lipids | Aid in cellular structure and energy (Ex: hormones, membranes) |
| Proteins | Composed of amino acids, used for movement (Ex: enzymes, collagen) |
| Cellular Function | ER (smooth or rough), Golgi Apparatus (package products), Vesicles (contain molecules), Lysosomes (contain enzymes), Peroxisomes (detoxifies), Mitochondria (powerhouse), Nucleus (contains DNA) |
| Epidermis | Stratum Basale (deepest/contain stem cells), Stratum spinosum (cells enlarge/develop spines), Stratum Granulosum (accumulate granules of keratin/lipids), Stratum Lucidum (clear layer of palms/soles of feet), Stratum Corneum (outermost/dead cells) |
| Parathyroid Glands | Osteoclasts (break calcium from bone to deposit into blood stream) & Osteoblasts (pull calcium from blood stream into bone) |
| Muscle Cell | Sarcolemma (membrane), Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (stores calcium), T Tubules (transmits impulses) |
