| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Action potential | stimulus > Threshold is reached. open Na+ channel>depolarization; Na+ into cell> open for 1ms then close, K+ opens outward repolarization> small hyperpolarization returns to RMP. (refactory - resist restimulation, only very strong stimulus) |
| synaptic transmission | 1. electrical: cells joined by gap junctions all for action potential. 2. chemical: presynaptic cells release chemicals to postsynaptic cell |
| Neurotransmitters. | Class I: ACh - excitatory Class II Amines: Monoamines - Serotonin, histamine; catecholamines - dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine Class III: Amino Acids- Glutamate, glycine, GABA Class IV: Nitric oxide, purines, ATP. Adenosine |
| Myosin and Actin | rope chain event. nerve impulse>ACh release> ACH receptor> Ca++ release from SR, binds with troponin > tropomysoin exposes actin sites> chain rope effect > impulse ends>Ca++ back into sac. |
| 5 Homeostatic function of Bone. | Support, protection, movement, mineral storage, hematopiesis. |
| Major constitutes of bone and structural organization related to function. | axial and appendicular. long, short, irregular, sesamoid, flat. compact bone/cancellous (spongy)bone. |
| epithelial and connective tissue combine to form these FOUR types of membranes. | Epithelial: Cutaneous, serous, mucous Connective: synovial. Lubrication, protection, cushion. |
| Mitosis | Mitosis: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. to distribute DNA (meiosis; cell division of sex cells. sperm/ova. diploid (46) reduce to haploids(23)) |
| Enzymes | to regulate cell fuxn by regulating metabolic pathways. - ase. lock and key model. allosteric effectors. enzyme catalyze a chemical reaction in both directions. |
| release of ATP for energy | enzymes release stored ATP by splitting it into ADP and a phosphate. cell at rest high ATP, exhausted cell high ADP. cells at rest can recycle ADP back into ATP. body uses 1.1 pounds of ATP during strenuous activity. |
| Four major groups of organic substances | 1. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides. 2. Lipids: Triglycerides, Phospholipids, steroids, prostaglandins 3. Proteins: Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary. 4. Nucleic Acids and related molecules. DNA, RNA |
