| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where is the umbilical region | around the belly button |
| What is metabolism | all the chemical reactions that happen in the body |
| What does the midsagittal plane do | separate the body into right and left halves |
| In homeostatic what is the effector | a muscle or a gland |
| In homeostatic what is the rececptor | picks up on what is going on |
| In homeostatic what is the control center | receives information from the receptor and tells the effector what to do |
| Peritoneal cavity | surrounds organs of the abdominal cavity |
| Pleural cavity | surrounds the lungs |
| pericardial cavity | surrounds the heart |
| The diaphragm separates what 2 cavities | thoracic and abdominal cavity |
| What is cellular differentiation | cells do different jobs by expressing different genes |
| What is digestion | breaking down of food into it's parts to be used as building blocks and energy |
| Anterior | towards the front |
| Ventral | towards the front |
| dorsal | towards the back |
| Posterior | toward the back |
| cavities in the head | nasal, oral, buccal, orbital |
| Integumentary system functions | covers body, regulates heat loss, produces vitamin D |
| Endocrine system function | produces hormones that tell the rest of the body what to do |
| Functions of the cardiovascular system | moves blood around the body. |
| Thoracic cavity contains: | lungs, heart, thymus |
| Proteins | made up of amino acids does structure, and defense |
| Nucleic acids | store genetic informaiton |
| Lipids | stores energy in a concentrated form, also has a role in structure |
| Carbohydrates | quick energy, |
| Exchange reaction | bonds are broken and new bonds are made but you change which atom is attached to which other atom. Example A-B and C-D ==> A-C and B-D |
| Synthesis reactions | putting building blocks together to build something larger |
| Decomposition | tearing big structures down into their building blocks |
| Hydrogen bonding | When the hydrogen of 1 molecule is attracted to the oxygen of another molecule |
| Organic solvents | will dissolve things like lipids that are insoluble in water. |
| Solvent | the thing that does the dissolving. Like water in a sugar water mix. |
| Ionic bonding occurs | when an atom losses or gains electrons to another atom and becomes attracted to that other atom. |
| What is a chemical reaction | when chemical bonds are either made or broken |
| Proton | +1 charge |
| electron | -1 charge |
| Neutron | no charge |
| Isotope | two atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. |
| What is the normal ph of the blood | 7.35 to 7.45 |
| What is a solute | the thing that is dissolved when mixed in water |
| How does the Ph scale work for bases | Each time you go up by 1 number of the ph scale you become 10x more basic |
| How does the Ph scale work for acids and bases | each time you go down by 1 number on the ph scale you become 10x more acidic |
| How many strands does RNA have | 1 |
| What bases does RNA use | A, U, G, C |
| What sugar does RNA use | ribose |
| How many strands does DNA have | 2 |
| What sugars does DNA use | A, T, C, G |
| What sugar does DNA use | deoxyribose |
| How are amino acids different from each other? | the R group (side chain) |
| How do you become a negatively charged atom | gain electrons |
| How do you become a positively charged atom | lose electrons |
| Coronal plane divides the body into | font and back halves |
| bilateral | paired structures on both sides |
| Anatomy | is the study of structure |
| physiology | study of function |
| pleural surrounds | the lungs |
| pericardium | surrounds the heart |
| peritoneum | surrounds the organs of the abdominal cavity |
