6 Proteins & Their Functions**
- Channels—–> h2o/electrolytes in/out the cell
- Transport Proteins—> active pump through cell membrane
- Receptors—> hormone attachement site
- Cytoskeleton Anchors—> cell shape
- ID Marker—> self
- Enzymes—> speed chemical reaction
Mitochondrial Energy Production Equation**
O2+glucose(mitochondria/enzyme) ATP+Heat+CO2+H2O
Cell Organelles & Functions
- Cell Membrane—>protect the cell
- Cell Nucleus—> brain of cell, genetic blueprint
- Mitochondria—> powerhouse of cell
- Ribosomes—> protein factor
- Golgi Apparatus–> production of cell membrane to surround exported proteins
- lysosomes—> “suicide bag”
Exocrine Gland Examples and Fuction**
- secrete into the hollow organs
- *do not produce hormones**
- have ducts
Examples:
- GI tract
- Kidney
- Liver
- Salivary Glands
- Pancreas
- Prostate Glands
- Mammary Glands
Endocrine Gland Examples and Function**
- secrete into the bloodstream
- *produce hormones**
- do not have ducts
Examples:
- Pituitary Gland
- Hypothalamus
- Thyroid
- Parathyroid
- Pancreas
- Ovary
- Testicles
- Adrenal Gland
Erythrocyte & its Function**

Leukocyte & its Function**
Function- immunity
Source- red bone marrow
Artery & its Function
blood vessels
Function- pulls blood away from heart
Capillary & its Funtion
microscopic blood vessel in body
Function- O2–> every cell in body
Plasma
H2O fraction of the blood that can still clot
Serium
H2O fraction that has clotted
Coagulation
blood clotting
Anti Coagulation
chemical prevents blood clotting
Hermoglobin
protein
Anemia**
lower than normal # of RBCs
Micron**
1/1000 of a mm
Solution
solute+solvent mixture
Diffusion**
gas or solute moving from high to low concentration
Red Bone Marrow
developmental stages for RBC, WBC
