Exam 3 review Flashcards
1
Q
hyperosmotic
A
when the concentration of solutes is higher in the environment , so water flows out of the tissues into the environment (seawater)
2
Q
hyposmotic
A
when the concentration of solutes is higher in the tissues, so water flows from the environment into the tissues (freshwater)
3
Q
Osmoregulation in marine environment
A
lose water by osmosis and gain electrolytes by diffusion
4
Q

A
gain water by osmosis and lose electrolytes by diffusion
5

A
close to decrease water loss by evaporation in insects
7
Q
Nephron structure/kidney function
A
- renal corpuscle, blood filtration, filter ions, nutrients, waste, and water out
- proximal tubule, reabsorb nutrients, ions, water from step 1 into blood
- loop of Henle, in medulla of nephron, gradient with fluid around loop, most reabsorbed water and salt
- distal tube, reabsorb what is needed by body
- collection duct, may reabsorb water, urea excretion
8
Q
As kidneys filter
A
everything gets dumped out and the body reabsorbs what it needs
9
Q
Loop of Henle gradient
A
want to keep a difference of 200 in ascending (200 less than outside) by pumping out sodium in ascending and equilibrate in descending
10
Q
water regulation (ADH)
A
- controlled by hormones, done in collecting duct and distal tube
- ie Antidiuretic hormone -> decreases urine and triggers aquaporin insertion
- ADH->collecting duct->aquaporin->increase water->peritubular capillary
11
Q
Gases we exchange and how
A
- oxygen = inhale
- carbon dioxide = exhale
12

17
Q
ram ventilation
A
no operculum, gill slits, have to constantly move to get oxygen, open mouth
18
Q
spiracles
A
openings on the outside of the body, can close to decrease water loss, have no lungs, not through blood
19

23
Q
bronchioles
A
spread in lung and branch into alveoli
24
Q
alveoli
A
smallest bronchioles, allow for gas exchange between lungs and capillaries, sacs full of air
25
How does gas exchange between respiratory and circulatory
alveoli are surrounded by capillaries and have folds to increase SA, they exchange CO2 and O2 with capillaries by diffusion
26
negative pressure ventilation
- what humans have
- air is pulled into the body when the diaphragm contracts (volume increase)
- pressure of the chest cavity is less than atmosphere to keep lungs from collapsing
- humans adjust pressure based on volume when we in/exhale
27
ventilation control
- controlled by brain
- increased CO2 increases hydrogen which decreases pH
- breathing is increased
- partial pressure of CO2 increases with exercise
28
blood
connective tissue
29
components of blood
cell, formed elements, and matrix
- RBC
- WBC
- platelets
- all from red bone marrow
30

- transport hormone from gland to target
- carry immune cells to infections
31
Hemoglobin
oxygen carrying protein molecule, 4 sections linked together, each chain has heme
32
heme
what O2 binds to, 4 in each hemoglobin
33
cooperative binding
- one heme binds with O2, the hemoglobin changed shape so that the other 3 heme are more likely to bind
- makes it more likely for other heme to gain or lose O2
34

deoxygenated->superior/inferior vena cava-> right atrium->right ventricle->out pulmonary artery->lungs->oxygenated->pulmonary vein->left atrium->left ventricle->out aorta to body
35
neuron structure

- axon
- axon terminals
36
dendrites
first to pick up chemical signal, convert chemical signal to electrical
37
cell body
gets electrical signal and sends it to axon
38
axon
long, reaches axon terminal
39
axon terminal
connects to either another dendrite or to a muscle
40
CNS vs PNS
- CNS = ganglia, brain and spinal cord, process signal and send response, protected by bone
- PNS = everything outside CNS, sensor and motor
41
Categories of PNS
1. sensory
2. motor
2a. somatic
2b. autonomic
2ba. sympathetic
2bb. parasympathetic
42
sensory
get stimulus and send TO CNS
43
motor
get stimulus FROM CNS and send it to body, reaction, end in muscle
44
somatic
part of motor, voluntary, connect to muscle tissue
45
autonomic
involuntary
46
sympathetic
part of autonomic, fight or flight
47
parasympathetic
part of autonomic, rest or digest, conserve and restore energy
48
flow of info from nervous system and reflexes
sensory neuron get stimulated->carry info to brain->process->interneuron->motor->effect
49
electrochemical gradient
combination of the electrical and concentration gradient
50
way electrochemical gradient gets resting potential
2 potassium move into the cell and 3 sodium move out, causing negative resting potential
51
How Na-K pump works
1. carrier membrane binds with intracellular sodium
2. ATP phosphorylate protein bind with sodium, changes shape
3. change shape (kick out 3 sodium)
4. 2 potassium bind and come in
5. kick out potassium
6. change shape back, K is released into cell, cycle complete
52
steps of AP from stim to after refractory
stimulus->Na channels open (threshold)->more positive (depolarization)->peak forms new AP->membrane potential becomes more negative (repolarization)extra K open-> refractory period/hyperpolarization->Na+-K+ restored
53
Axon structure
- myelin sheath
| - nodes of ranvier
54
myelin sheath
wraps around axon, prevents loss of ions during AP, made of Schwann cells, allows faster transmission of signals
55
Nodes of Ranvier
gaps in sheath, have Na and K channels, new AP can be generated
56
Synapses

frontal lobe, motor of speaking, form words and being physically able to talk
63
Wernicke's area
understanding words and responding, temporal
64
Lateralization of brain function
some functions are specific to one side of the brain, each hemisphere controls the opposite side
65
Split brain
corpus callosum is cut, normal function until task requires both hemispheres
66
How senses processed

71
simple vs. complex eyes
- simple = structure with 1 lens, focus light onto photoreceptor
- complex = thousand of ommatidida that each send info about a small piece of visual field, not all cohesive
72

- different WV allow to see different colors
- small=blue
- medium=green
- large=red
76
Taste receptors
- epithelial that are inside taste buds
- have a taste pore with microvilli at one end and connect to nerve fiber with other
- process different tastes and send info to brain by nerve fiber
77
how we smell
scent molecule binds to receptor in epithelial lining (hair)->signal travels through olfactory receptor to olfactory nerve->reaches olfactory bulb->converted from chemical to AP->sends signal to brain
78

- locomotive
| - non-locomotive
81
contraction/shortening of sarcomere
myosin binds to actin->orientation change->force->slide->to unbind, myosin head binds to ATP->release actin->myosin head returns to original->can bind again
82
sliding filament theory
results from interaction between actin and myosin filaments generate movement relative to one another
83
myosin
2 long polypeptide chains coiled, each chain has 2 heads at one end with ATP activity

87
What triggers contraction
initiated by AP from motor neuron
88
Ca2+ release
- bind to troponin-> change conformation->pull tropomyosin strands away->expose binding sites->myosin and actin interact->Ca2+ return to sarcoplasmic reticulum
- released from sarcoplasmic reticulum at depolarization
89
skeletal muscle fiber types
- regulate contractions
- slow
- fast
90
slow muscle fiber
red, more hemoglobin, ATP from cellular respiration, more mitochondria, slow speed, fatigues slowly
91
fast muscle fiber
white, ATP form glycolysis, less mitochondria, fast speed, faster fatigue
92
muscle organization
- parallel = sarcomeres are in rows, longer length
