form of transport across the cell membrane that requires input of cellular energy

Ion channels are pore-forming proteins in the cell membrane that allow specific ions, such as sodium (\(Na^{+}\)), potassium (\(K^{+}\)), calcium (\(Ca^{2+}\)), and chloride (\(Cl^{-}\)), to pass through the membrane

Question	Answer
Active Transport	form of transport across the cell membrane that requires input of cellular energy
Ion Channels	Ion channels are pore-forming proteins in the cell membrane that allow specific ions, such as sodium (\(Na^{+}\)), potassium (\(K^{+}\)), calcium (\(Ca^{2+}\)), and chloride (\(Cl^{-}\)), to pass through the membrane
Sagital Plane	Divides the body into right and left portions.
Transverse Plane	Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections.
Axial Plane	Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
Supine	lying horizontally on your back with your face and torso facing up.
Prone	lying face down, with the front or ventral surface of the body facing downward.
Distal	away from the center of the body or point of attachment
Proximal	closer to the point of attachment or the center of the body.
Anterior	describes the front or direction toward the front of the body; also referred to as ventral.
Posterior	towards the back of the body or structure.
Lumbar	the lower part of the spine, located between the thoracic and sacral vertebrae. L1-L5
Thoracic	the chest region of the body, defined by the area between the neck and the abdomen.
Action Potential	change in voltage of a cell membrane in response to a stimulus that results in transmission of an electrical signal; unique to neurons and muscle fibres.
Covalent Bonds	form when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically resulting in molecules with a specific, directional shape.
Abduction	movement in the coronal plane that moves a limb laterally away from the body; spreading of the fingers.
Acetycholine (Ach)	neurotransmitter that binds at a motor end-plate to trigger depolarisation.
Amino Acid	a protein’s monomer; has a central carbon or alpha carbon to which an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen, and an R group or side chain is attached; the R group is different for all 20 common amino acids.
