Final Review Flashcards
(339 cards)
Identify the extra-cellular cation whose osmotic pressure and location helps move body fluids.
Sodium
identify the tern for an increase in the size of individual cells to increase their work capacity
Hypertrophy
identify the specific process in which water passively moves down its concentration gradient.
osmosis
identify the specific physical structure often required for water to move through a cell membrane.
aquaporin
identify the specific brain structure that produces and secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones.
hypothalamus
identify the organ system that works with the endocrine system to regulate/maintain homeostasis.
nervous
identify the specific tissue that generates extra heat in human and other hemothermic newborns.
brown fat
identify which part of a neuron must remain viable for a damaged or cut axon to regenerate.
cell body
identify the specific nervous system structure that is composed of a bundle of axons.
nerve
identify the specific tonicity (hypo- or hyper-) of a solution that causes the crenation of red blood cells.
hyper
identify the specific tonicity (hypo- or hyper-) of a solution that causes hemolysis of red blood cells.
hypo
identify the specific phase of FDA human clinical trials which tests only the basic target population.
phase II
identify the specific phase of FDA human clinical trials which tests additional uses for a drug.
Phase IV
identify the special sense that most easily stimulates the limbic system or rhinoencephalon.
smell
identify the brain structure that is the body’s thermostat and regulates most endocrine organs?
Hypothalmus
identify the brain specific chemical element that must be removed from proteins before they can enter the krebs cycle and be use for APT production
Nitrogen
identify the metabolic pathway or process in which the liver converts lactic acid to pyruvic acid; pyruvic acid can then be converted to glucose-6-phosphate and then either glucose or glycogen
cori cycle
identify the term defined as decrease in the size of individual cells due to lack of use or innervation
atrophy
identify the term defined as as increase in the number of cells due to mitosis or cell devision
hyperplasia
identify the process by which the hormone or neurotransmitters exit the cell in which they are made
exocytosis
identify the capillary end (arterial or venous) in which net fluid movement is into interstitial fluid.
arterial
identify specifically what determines the net direction of molecule movement is into interstitial fluid.
concentration gradient
identify one specific factor that can directly affect the rate of diffusion across a cell membrane.
surface area
identify the mammalian glucose storage molecule present in liver and muscle cells
glycogen
