QuestionAnswer
Sum of all chemical reactions in the body that support life Metabolism
is the group of chemical reactions that acquire, store, and release energy in the cells of the body Cellular Metabolism
Information from DNA required to construct proteins, including the enzymes necessary for reactions
Energy is derived from chemical bonds in nutrient molecules obtained in the diet
breaks down larger (complex) molecules into smaller (simpler) ones; releases energy in the form of ATP Catabolism
Anabolism builds larger molecules from smaller ones; requires energy released in catabolism
typically coupled; the energy released in catabolism fuels anabolism Anabolism and catabolism
a process by which a molecule of water is split, and its parts are inserted into a larger molecule to break its chemical bonds responsible for digestion of dietary nutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins hydrolysis
provides the biochemicals for growth and repair Anabolism
removing a molecule of water to join two smaller molecules dehydration synthesis
control the rates of metabolic reactions of the cell complex proteins that lowering the activation energy of a reaction, Enzymes
may begin and proceed more rapidly; catalysts
the capacity change something or to do work Energy
heat, light, sound, electrical energy, mechanical energy, and chemical energy Common types of energy
Most metabolic reactions use held in the chemical bonds of molecules, and is released when the bonds break chemical energy
Release of chemical energy in the cell often occurs through the oxidation of glucose cellular respiration
40% of the energy released from broken chemical bonds is stored in a molecule called main energy-carrying molecule in the cell adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
most important product that comes from glycolysis, Krebs cycle, & electron transport chain ATP
breaks down glucose in the cytosol = 2 Pyruvic acids & 2 ATP Glycolysis (anaerobic)
(aerobic) in mitochondria = 2 ATP & CO2 Citric acid cycle ( Kreb’s cycle)(
oxidative phosphorylation (aerobic) in mitochondria ~ 28 ATP & water Electron transport chain
a portion of a DNA molecule that contains the genetic information for making a single protein gene
is the complete set of genetic instructions for an organism. genome
The portion of the genome that encodes proteins (only about 1.5%) exome
DNA molecules consist of building blocks nucleotides
adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) The bases found in DNA nucleotides
(copying) occurs during interphase: DNA replication
catalyzes joining of new nucleotides to each strand, which form complementary pairs with the original strands DNA polymerase
is the process of converting the genetic code into a sequence of amino acids to become a protein Translation
the amino acids are joined to each other, the new protein molecule folds into its unique shape conformation
form protective coverings and function in secretion and absorption Epithelial tissues
support soft parts and bind structures together Connective tissues:
produce body movement Muscular tissues
conduct impulses to control and coordinate body activities Nervous tissue:
thin and flattened squamous Cell Shape
cube-shaped cuboidal
tall and elongated) columnar
1 layer simple Layers
2 or more layers stratified Layers
appears layered, but is only one pseudostratified
single layer of thin, flattened cells tightly packed together have broad, thin nuclei found in diffusion and filtration sites exchange of gases in the alveoli of the lungs, and lines blood and lymph vessels, as well as body cavities Simple Squamous Epithelium
many layers of flattened cells, designed to protect underlying layers Named for the shape of the outermost layers of cells, which are composed of squamous cells outer layer of skin (epidermis), and lines the mouth, esophagus, vagina, and anal canal Stratified Squamous Epithelium
,Producing a dry, water-proof, protective layer, in which outer cells are dead. Does not occur in areas in which tissues remain moist and alive: oral cavity, esophagus, vagina, or anal canal keratinization
most common type; release fluid products by exocytosis; produce a watery serous fluid produce a thicker, protective substance (mucus) Merocrine (eccrine) glands
; produce a thicker, protective substance (mucus) Examples: pancreas, salivary glands, and sweat glands mucous
pinch off a portion of their cell bodies during secretion; example: mammary glands Apocrine glands
release entire cells that disintegrate to release their secretions; example: sebaceous (oil) glands Holocrine glands
function as phagocytes; defend against infection and foreign particles Macrophages (histocytes):
large, fixed cells, located near blood vessels; release heparin (anticoagulant) and histamine (promotes inflammation) Mast cells:
produce the 3 types of fibers found in connective tissues: Fibroblasts
thick threads of collagen protein; found in long, parallel bundles; high tensile strength to hold structures together, but not very elastic; examples: tendons, ligaments Collagen (white) fibers:
made of the protein elastin; occur in thin branching fibers arranged in a network; stretchy and add flexibility to certain types of connective tissues; example: vocal cords Elastic (yellow) fibers:
thin collagen fibers that form branching, supportive networks in a variety of tissues; example: spleen Reticular fibers:
Loose & Dense connective tissue Connective tissue proper:
Cartilage bone and blood Specialized connective tissue:
Have thin, delicate membranes Areolar tissue:
Contains adipocytes, which store fat in cytoplasm Found under skin, between muscles, around kidneys, around abdominal membranes, behind eyeballs : Cushions joints & organs, stores energy, insulates body Adipose tissue (fat):
Contains thin, reticular fibers Fibers form a 3-dimensional network Forms a framework for certain internal organs (liver, spleen) Reticular connective tissue
densely packed fibers & network of elastic fibers Contains few cells; most are fibroblasts the tissue poor blood supply, heals slowly can withstand pulling forces Found in tendons, ligaments, deep layer of skin, and the white layer of the eyeball Dense Connective Tissue
A rigid connective tissue provides a supportive framework for various structures, protects underlying tissues, serves as models for developing bones Chondrocytes (cartilage cells) lie within lacunae (chambers) in the matrix Cartilage
Cartilaginous structures are enclosed within a connective tissue covering perichondrium
most common type of cartilage appears glassy Found on the ends of bones, supports respiratory structures and passages, also important in embryonic development of many bones and bone growth Hyaline cartilage:
Contains elastic fibers in dense network; flexible Provides framework for the external ears and parts of the larynx Elastic cartilage:
Tough tissue containing many collagenous fibers Good shock absorber Found in intervertebral discs, knees and pelvic girdle Fibrocartilage
Supports, Protects structures produce blood cells in the red bone marrow Bone
Bone Cells withing the Lacunae osteocytes
Matrix is arranged in concentric circles lamellae
called osteons or Haversian systems Cylindrical units
composed of formed elements suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma. Functions to transport substances throughout the body Blood
