Week 1

Cellular Processes PPT and CH 1. PPT

QuestionAnswer
Four types of tissues Muscular, Connective, Nervous, Epithelial
Muscular tissue Movement of skeleton; beating of heart; movement of food through digestive system
Connective tissue Makes up bone, cartilage, and blood; connects organs together
Nervous tissue Conducts electrical impulses through the brain, spinal cord and nerves
Epithelial Makes up skin, lining of internal pathways, and glands
Nucleus Control center; contains genetic information
Endoplasmic reticulum Synthesizes proteins and ships them around the cells (can be smooth or rough)
Mitochondria Converts food into ATP
Golgi Apparatus Transports materials around the cell in sacs called vesicles
Lysosomes Break down waste
Centrioles Aid in cell division
Vacuoles Store nutrients and water
The human body is formed of how many types of tissues and vary by what 4; structure and function
What are the tissues of the human body comprised of? What do they contain? Cells; they contain membrane-bound organelles
Every organelle has a ---- that contributes to the cell's purpose function
Where is genetic information found within a cell 46 chromosomes, comprised of DNA, within the nucleus
List the characteristics of DNA - Double helix - Sides are made of sugar and phosphate; rungs are nitrogen bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) - A --> T; C-->G (this is base pairing) - Codes for proteins (transcription and translation used to make proteins)
Section of DNA that codes for a protein gene
Transcription Converting DNA code into mRNA message - Same DNA template but Uracil replaces Thymine
Translation mRNA strand leaves the nucleus ---> ribosome ---> location of protein production - at the START codon (first set of 3 mRNA bases) tRNA molecules brings in amino acids that match with mRNA codons - link together to make polypeptide chain --> protein
The ______ information of the cell is encoded in the nitrogen bases of the ____ molecules. This code can be used to form ____ through ______ and _____ - genetic - DNA - proteins - transcription -translation
Mitosis Period division in somatic (body) cells - division of chromosomes and then cytoplasm -one parent cell makes two identical daughter cells
Meiosis Meiosis is the period of division in sex cells (GAMETES) - one parent cells makes four different daughter cells
How does the cell membrane regulate transport Cell membrane is a specialized, semi-permeable barrier - only some substances can pass through
Passive transport Diffusion of substances and osmosis (diffusion of water) are examples of passive transport processes. Passive transport means molecules move naturally from high to low concentration - NOT require energy
Facilitated diffusion Larger molecules need to be facilitated across the channels made of protein
Active transport Moves molecules from low to high concentration - requires energy because opposite to natural process - 2 main types: endocytosis ("into" cell) & exocytosis ("out" cell)
Cells divide through ____ and _____. They can transport materials across the cell ______ using _____ transport which doesn't require energy or _____ transport, which does - mitosis - meiosis -membrane -passive -active
Anatomy Study of the structure of an organism
Physiology Study of how that organism's body functions
Developmental anatomy Changes in the human body during growth from child to adult
Embryology Study of anatomy during first 8 weeks after conception
Surface anatomy Using touch on outside of the body
Regional anatomy Specialized focus on one portion of the body
Gross anatomy A general overview of large portions of the body at one time
Microscopic anatomy Specialized focus on cells and tissues only seen with a microscope
Systematic anatomy Studying one body system at a time
What are the levels of the organization of the human body 1. cell (smallest unit of all living things) 2. tissue (similar cells with a common function) 3. organ (made of 2 or more types of tissues) 4. system (group of organs working toward common goal) 5. organism (highest level of structural organization)
How many body systems are there? Name them 11: skeletal, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, muscular, integumentary, lymphatic, excretory, endocrine, reproductive
Skeletal system: function and major organs Function: provides support and protection, gives body shape Major organs: -bones -ligamnets -cartilage -joints
Nervous system: function and major organs Function: Detects impulses from senses; control center Major organs: -brain - spinal cord - senses - nerves
circulatory system: function and major organs Function: transports nutrients and gases around body Major organs: -heart -blood vessels - blood
Respiratory system: function and major organs Function: Exchanges gases (oxygen &CO2) Major organs: -lungs -sinuses -diaphragm
Digestive system: function and major organs Function: Breaks down and absorbs food Major organs: mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder
Muscular system: function and major organs Function: Provides movement for all parts of the body Major organs: -skeletal and smooth muscles
Integumentary system: function and major organs Function: Protect the body, regulate temperature, and prevent water loss Major organs: - skin, hair, nails
Lymphatic system: function and major organs Function: Fights infection and provides fluid for cells Major organs: -spleen, thymus gland, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes
Excretory system: function and major organs Function: Removes waste from the blood Major organs: -Kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra
Endocrine system: function and major organs Function: Secretes hormones Major organs: -Glands (hypothalamus, pineal, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, thymus, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, or testes)
Endocrine system: function and major organs Function: Produces cells used in sexual reproduction Major organs: Female: ovaries, vagina, uterus, mammary glands Males: testes, penis, prostate gland
What is anatomic position Body is straight with feet slightly apart and thumbs pointed away from the body
Superficial vs Deep Superficial: towards body surface Deep: away from body surface; more internal
Superior vs Inferior Superior: cranial Inferior: caudal
What are the three body planes Median (midsagittal) plane Frontal (coronal) plane Transverse plane
Planes Anatomical structures can be cut or section into flat surfaces (i.e. MRI scan)
Body cavities Spaces that provides protection for organs within them
Major body cavities Dorsal body cavity: - brain (cranial cavity) - spinal cord (vertebral cavity) Ventral body cavities - protect the visceral organs - divided into three divisions: thoracic, abdominal, pelvic
What are the body cavities protected by Meninges
Serosa Double-layered membrane that lines the ventral body cavities -- Inner layer: visceral serosa -- outer layer: parietal serosa -- fluid between: serous fluid
Name of the heart membranes Visceral pericardium and parietal pericardium - pericardial cavity (filled with fluid) is between them
How is the abdominal cavity organized? Quadrants//regions to describe specific locations
The body can be described in three major _____. The organs are contained within the _____ and _____ body cavities. These are protected by double-layered _______. - planes - dorsal - ventral - membranes
