Relative constant state maintained by the body “state of balance.”

Stabilize physiological variables. Produce an action that is opposite to the change that activated the system. Maintains homeostasis.

Amplify or reinforce the change that is occurring. Disrupts homeostasis.

Three types of carbohydrates

1. Monosaccharides (simple sugars) 2. Disaccharides (double sugars) 3. Polysaccharides (complex sugars)

Primary protein structure

sequence of a chain of amino acids

Secondary protein structure

hydrogen bonding of the peptide backbone causes the amino acids to fold into a repeating pattern.

Tertiary protein structure

three-dimensional folding patter of a protein due to side chain interactions.

Quaternary protein structure

protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain.

breaks molecules into smaller ones; usually releases energy.

builds large molecules from smaller ones; usually consumes energy.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

A double-helix polymer that functions to transfer information, encoded in genes, to direct the synthesis of proteins.

1. Prophase “before phase” 2. Metaphase “position-changing phase” 3. Anaphase “apart phase” 4. Telophase “end phase”

Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous

long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, sesamoid bones.

the 80 bones of the head, neck, and torso; composed of 74 bones that form the upright axis of the body and six tiny middle ear bones

Appendicular skeleton

the 126 bones that form the appendages to the axial skeleton; the upper and lower extremities

frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid

moves a part away from the median plane of the body

moves a part toward the median plane of the body

Function of muscular system

Movement of the body as a whole or movement of its parts, heat procudtion, posture.

Term	Definition
Homeostasis	Relative constant state maintained by the body “state of balance.”
Negative feedback	Stabilize physiological variables. Produce an action that is opposite to the change that activated the system. Maintains homeostasis.
Positive feedback	Amplify or reinforce the change that is occurring. Disrupts homeostasis.
Three types of carbohydrates	1. Monosaccharides (simple sugars) 2. Disaccharides (double sugars) 3. Polysaccharides (complex sugars)
Primary protein structure	sequence of a chain of amino acids
Secondary protein structure	hydrogen bonding of the peptide backbone causes the amino acids to fold into a repeating pattern.
Tertiary protein structure	three-dimensional folding patter of a protein due to side chain interactions.
Quaternary protein structure	protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain.
Catabolism	breaks molecules into smaller ones; usually releases energy.
Anabolism	builds large molecules from smaller ones; usually consumes energy.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)	A double-helix polymer that functions to transfer information, encoded in genes, to direct the synthesis of proteins.
Cell division phases	1. Prophase “before phase” 2. Metaphase “position-changing phase” 3. Anaphase “apart phase” 4. Telophase “end phase”
Types of tissue	Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous
Primary layers of skin	epidermis and dermis
Types of bones	long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, sesamoid bones.
Axial skeleton	the 80 bones of the head, neck, and torso; composed of 74 bones that form the upright axis of the body and six tiny middle ear bones
Appendicular skeleton	the 126 bones that form the appendages to the axial skeleton; the upper and lower extremities
Cranial bones	frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid
Longest and heaviest bone in the body	Femur
Abduction	moves a part away from the median plane of the body
Adduction	moves a part toward the median plane of the body
Function of muscular system	Movement of the body as a whole or movement of its parts, heat procudtion, posture.
