🗑
Define a disease   A disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure or system of the body  
🗑
What are some factors that lead to a disease   1. The effect of genetics or developmental errors 2. Nutritional deficiency 3. Infection, poisons 4. Toxicity  
🗑
What are some examples of Homeostatically regulated functions?   Body temp .. blood composition .. Concentration of O and CO Acid-base balance .. blood osmolarity .. blood pressure, caridac output .. respiratory rate .. secretion of endocrine .. rate of intracellular chemical reactions.

🗑
How does our system work?   made up of parts that interacts together and depends on each other .. if one fail everything else fails .. we have up to 200 different types of cells  
🗑
Compensatory mechanism   1 fail everything else fails  
🗑
What are the 3 interdependent components of control mechanism?   1. Receptors: Monitor the environment and respond to changes 2. Control center: determines set point which variables are maintained 3. Effectors: provide the means to respond to the stimulus and restore variables to the optimal pysiological range  
🗑
Afferent Vs Efferent Pathways   Afferent: input information to the control center .. Efferent : output the information from the control center  
🗑
An organism is made up of --->   Organ systems (e.g digestive) --> Organs (e.g stomach) ---> Tissues (group of similar cells that perform the same function) ---> cells (smallest unit of life) ---> Organelles (DNA)  
🗑
What are some functions of the cell   1. Obtain nutrients and Oxygen from the environment 2. use it in chemical reaction 3. Eliminate waste and by products 4. synthesis protein to build organelles 5. control exchange material 6. Produce new cells  
🗑
Function of Plasma membrane   Controls movement of molecules in and out of the cell. Also cell-cell signaling and adhesion  
🗑
Mitochondria   Generates ATP  
🗑
Lysosomes   Degrade material internalized by the cells and worn out membrane and organelles  
🗑
Nuclear envelope   Encloses the contents of the nucleus  
🗑
Nucleolus   Where most rRNA is synthesized  
🗑
Nucleus   Filled with DNA and RNA and proteins. Site of mRNA and tRNA synthesis  
🗑
Smooth ER   Synthesis Lipids and detoxifies hydrophobic compounds  
🗑
Rough ER   synthesis, processing and sorting of secreted proteins, lysosomal proteins, and certain membrane proteins  
🗑
Golgi   sorts secreted proteins synthesized in the Rough ER  
🗑
Secretory Vesicles   Store secreted proteins and fuse with plasma membrane to release their contents  
🗑
Peroxisomes   detoxify various molecules and breakdown fatty acids  
🗑
Cytoskeletal   forms network and bundles that support cellular membrane  
🗑
Microvilli   Increase surface area for absorption of nutrients  
🗑
The exterior of the cell membrane have high number of ______ and the interior have high numbers of ______   Na+, K+  
🗑
Transport method diffusion (through the lipid bilayer and protein channel)   Passive down concentration gradient (high) --> (Low)  
🗑
Carrier mediated transport (Faciliated diffusion)   Passive down conc. gradient (high) --> (low)  
🗑
Carrier mediated transport (1st active and 2nd active transport)   Active against concentration gradients (Low) --> (high) in the 1st active transport it uses ATP  
🗑
What is a signal?   info that a cell gives or receives. usually converts from one form to another  
🗑
The action of a signal are determined by the ______ to which it binds   Effector  
🗑
Signal transduction - Order of events   Signal is generated .. Arrival to site of action (proximal or distal) .. binding to target (receptor enzyme) .. Action or effect (usually change in conformation of the target) .. the effects are terminated  
🗑
What are some types of receptors   Membrane receptors: G-protein coupled, recptor tyrocine kinase, Ligand-voltage gated ion channels .. Intracellular receptors: Nuclear receptors, steroid hormone receptors.  
🗑
Agonist vs antagonist   Agonist: binds to activate a receptor .. Antagonist: binds to receptor and block physiological function  
🗑
What regulate signal transduction?   Phosphyralation (Kinases) and dephosphorlylation (phosphatases)  
🗑
What are the main drug targets?   Proteins (receptors, Enzymes, Transporter proteins, structural proteins) .. Lipids (cell membrane lipids) ... Carbohydrates (cell surface carbohydrates, antigens and recognition molecules) ... and Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
