PHYSIOLOGY WEEK 1-6

QuestionAnswer
functions of the skin Protection Sensation Thermoregulation Vitamin D synthesis Excretion
Skin Cells Keratinocytes: Produce keratin, a protective protein. Melanocytes: Produce melanin, which gives skin its color. Langerhans Cells: Part of the immune system. Merkel Cells: Sensory receptors for touch.
The two processes of protein synthesis are: transcription and translation
Glycolysis occurs in what part of the cell? cytoplasm
Functions of the Musculoskeletal System Functions of the Musculoskeletal System
What happens when muscles contract? Actin and myosin filaments slide past each other ATP provides energy for contraction
Negative Feedback Loop A mechanism that reverses a change in a controlled condition to maintain homeostasis. Example: Body temperature regulation. Increase in Temperature: Triggers sweating to cool down. Decrease in Temperature: Triggers shivering to warm up.
Positive Feedback Loop A mechanism that amplifies a change in a controlled condition. Example: Childbirth. Contractions: Triggered by the release of oxytocin, causing more oxytocin to be released, which increases contractions until the baby is born.
DNA Structure Double Helix: Two strands twisted together. Nucleotides: Made of a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base. Bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G). Base Pairing: A-T and C-G.
Functions of DNA enetic Blueprint: Holds the instructions for building and maintaining an organism. Protein Synthesis: DNA sequences are transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins.
