Q

A branch of anatomy that studies the large body structures visible to the naked eye, such as heart, lungs, kidney. In other words, a person does not need a microscope to see these features.

A

Gross Anatomy

22
Q

It refers to an energy-transferring molecule in cells
and provides energy immediately usable by all
body cells

Study These Flashcards
A

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

23
Q

They are composed of amino acids that is the basic structure material of the body and plays vital roles in cell function. Example is enzymes.

24
Q

It is a primary source of fuel as it contains sugars and starches.

A

Carbohydrates

25
A branch of physiology that study the function of kidneys especially the processes of blood filtration and clearance, blood-pressure regulation, acid-based balance, and hematopoiesis.
Renal Physiology
26
This refers to the secretion of the products onto the body surfaces or into body cavities; include the liver, pancreas, salivary glands among others.
Exocrine
27
It is found inside the cytoplasm that sort and modify proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to do different jobs. It is a stack flat, membrane-covered sacs that looks a lot like a smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi Apparatus
28
There are several layers of cells in this thick epithelium; the basal cells are cuboidal or columnar and metabolically active, while the surface cells are flattened (squamous). The surface cells in the keratinized type are dead and are filled with keratin; the basal cells produce the superficial layers of cells during mitosis.
Stratified Squamous
29
It is a type of connective tissue wherein it attaches to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
30
This type of tissue is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities that includes generating and carrying out nerve impulses, responding to stimuli, and carrying out communication and integration.
Nervous Tissue
31
A type of a passive membrane transport that binds the solute to the transport protein and gets released to the other side of the membrane
Facilitated Diffusion
32
It is a type of tissue that that connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs. Its function includes insulating, storing reserve fuel, and transport substances
Connective Tissue
33
It is a structure of a cell membrane that functions to make protein; gets instruction for protein production from the DNA in nucleus
Ribosomes
34
An important function that is needed for several processes including chromosome synthesis and cell division.
DNA Replication
35
A form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell.
Mitosis
36
It carries the information from DNA in the nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm and then helps assemble the protein.
RNA
37
A type of epithelial tissue that has a single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm; the simplest of epithelia
Simple Squamous
38
It uses energy from ATP to pump solute against its concentration gradient, i.e., from lower concentration to the higher concentration.
Active Transport
39
A type of muscle tissue that is attached to the bones and its contraction makes possible locomotion, facial expressions, posture, and other voluntary movements. (e.g. walking, dancing, talking)
Skeletal Muscle
40
A type of tonicity that has a higher solute inside, higher water outside, and the water moves in that causes the cell SWELLS.
Hypotonic
41
It is a type of endocytosis that is also known as cellular drinking that occurs when a plasma membrane folds inward to form a channel allowing dissolved substances to enter the cell.
Pinocytosis
42
It is a clear, thick, jellylike material; contains a large amount of water and chemical may sometimes appear to be grainy. It is found inside the cell membrane but outside the nucleus.
Cytoplasm
43
A type of tissue tissue which lines certain internal cavities of the body, forming a smooth, transparent, two-layered membrane lubricated by a fluid derived from serum
Serous membrane
44
A type of RNA that reflects the exact nucleoside sequence of the genetically active DNA. It carries the coded information of the DNA to the cytoplasm of the cells where protein is made in amino acid sequences specified by this type of RNA.
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
45
A subphase of interphase wherein the DNA synthesis replicates the genetic material. Each chromosome now consists of two sister chromatids.
S subphase
46
It is an ion or molecule with a functional group that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. This includes neurotransmitters, hormones, and paracrine.
Ligands
47
A salivary glands that sit just in front of the ears. It function is to produce saliva (spit) to keep your mouth lubricated, and to aid in chewing and digestion.
Parotid Glands
48
This type of connective tissue functions to maintain the shape of structure while allowing great flexibility.
Elastic Cartilage
49
A series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides.
Cell Cycle
50
A type of active transport that uses two other active transport processes to move macromolecules (large molecules) into or out of the cell. This type of active transport move macromolecules or large particles across the plasma membrane.
Vesicular Transport
