Exam 3 Flashcards
(48 cards)
Negative feedback
-For balance equilibrium
-Homeostasis
-Has no endpoint
Positive feedback
-amplification
-has an endpoint
-No set point
-Ex: Contractions, blood clotting
Humans set point temp
98.6 F
37 C
Humans set point pH
7.4
Buffers in blood help keep it balanced
Surface area vs. volume
volume increases quicker than surface area
Gradients
flow from high concentration to low
Types of tissues
Nervous: Made of nerves
Muscular: Muscle cells (3 kinds)
Connective: Most diverse; separates and supports other tissues
Epithelial: Layered arrangements of cells
3 types of muscular tissue
Skeletal muscle: Attached to skeleton, voluntary movements
Smooth muscle: Contracts and relaxes but not attached to skeleton
Cardiac muscle: In your heart to move blood
Bioenergetics (cellular respiration/ATP production)
Need: glucose and oxygen
Waste product: CO2 (6 molecules)
1: Glycolysis
2: Krebs/citric acid cycle
3: Electron
Total ATP: at least 30
Long term if cells have oxygen
Glycolysis
Make 4 ATP
invest 2
net gain 2
Disassemble glucose
Doesn’t require mitochondria
glycolysis-> 2 pyruvate -> 2 aceytlCOA
Krebs/citric acid cycle
Does not require mitochondria
Electron transport chain
Electron carriers: NADH, FADH2
ATP
3 phosphate groups, ribose, adenine
Parts of a membrane in a cell (outermost to innermost)
Outer membrane
Inner membrane
Inner membrane space
Matrix
Gradient of hydrogen ions in mitochondria (krebs cycle)
Out of matrix, into intermembrane space
NADH and FADH2 bring electrons to proteins
Proteins need electrons in order to allow H+ through
Proteins pass electrons like relay race
ATP synthase
Makes ATP
Line between intermembrane space and matrix
Cellular fermentation
Short term for cells w/o oxygen
Produces: Carbon dioxide and ethanol
Where does glycolysis take place
Cytoplasm
Where does krebs cycle take place
Matrix of mitochondria
Where does electron transport take place
Across inner membrane of mitochondria
Chemical vs. mechanical digestion in mouth
Chemical
Enzymes
-Lipase: breaks down lipids
-Amylase: breaks down carbohydrates
Mechanical
-Teeth from front to back
-Incisors, canine, premolars, molars
Chemical digestion in esophagus
No new enzymes added
Mucus: lubricant to help move food
Peristasis
Contractions of smooth muscle for digestion
Chemical digestion of stomach
-Has muscles to compartmentalize itself
- Sphincters prevent food from going back into esophagus
-Pepsin enzyme: breaks downs proteins in foods in stomach
Small intestine digestion
-Last chance to break down food
-Lumen: hollow space
-Walls have lots of wrinkles and folds to increase surface area -> increase absorption
-Enzymes and bile from pancreas help
