Atoms - electrons - (octet rule, chemical reactive)/ protons + (atomic number), neutrons no charge, (isotopes different neutrons than protons)/ atomic mass - neutrons plus protons weight. Ionic bond - transfer of e Covalent - sharing Hydrogen- polarity,weak
Metabolism catabolism - breakdown into simpler molecules releasing energy/ hydrolysis - adding water to break Anabolism - joining simple molecules/dehydration synesthesis - water removal to make bigger molecules
Cells Nucleus - DNA/nucleolus- makes ribosomes/ plasma membrane- protection,transportation/ ER - rough and smooth- protein synthesis, lipid addition, steroids, detox enzymes/ golgi- carb synthesis, glycoproteins/ vesicles- transport&storage/ lysosomes-digest ez
Tissue and surroundings Epithelial - body cavities/ connective- support, connect, protect/ muscle- produce movement & heat/ nervous- communcation Endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm ECM - collagen, elastin, gel-like surrounds cells
Tissue location and description epithelial- membranous (surface) lines- serous cavities, blood and lymph vessels and all tracts, squamous, cuboidal, columnar, pseudostrat columnar Connective- fibrous, bone, cartilage, blood, Muscular - skeletal, striated voluntary, cardiac
skin epidermis - basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum (clear), corneum (horny) Dermis -true skin, strength to skin, storage for water and electrolytes, arrest or pili, sweat glands, blood vessels Hypodermis - connection between skin and other structures
Bones long bones -diaphysis - shaftlike, marrow/ epiphyses- ends, spongy, epiphyseal plate covered with hyaline cartilage Short bones - boxlike Flat bones - broad sheetlike Compact - dense and solid Cancellous - spongy
