25
urigenital system and rectum
pelvic cavity
26
what two cavities are separated by the diaphragm
thoracic and abdominalpelvic cavity
27
dorsal
smaller of the two cavities; cranial and spinal cavity
28
cell
basic unit of living organisms
29
cell ->________ -> _______ -> systems
tissue;organs
30
organs
collection of tissues that structurally form a functional unit
31
10 body systems
musculoskeletal, integumentary, nervous, endocrine, lymphatic and immune, urinary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and reproductive
32
anabolism
smaller to complex substances by the use of energy (build-up process)
33
catabolism
breaks down complex molecules into smaller molecules (break down process)
34
respond to the changes of the world
responsiveness (three types: excitability/irritability, conductivity, contractility/elasticity)
35
all matter is composed of one or more unique pure substances called _________
elements
36
atoms
subatomic particles
37
molecules
chemical building blocks of all body structures
38
organelles
small structure in a cell that is surrounded by a membrane
39
tissue
group of similar cells
40
organ system
group of organs that work together
41
organism
living being that has a cellular structure and can independently accomplish all physiological features needed for survival
42
body composition
18% = Protein 7% = Mineral 15% = Fat 60% = water (fluid)
43
Fluid compartments
Extracellular fluids = 1/3 (interstitial fluids and plasma 80:20) and Intracellular fluids = 2/3
44
what does homeostasis mean
homos - equal istemi - to stand
45
ability of an organism to maintain constant internal environment by adjusting to its physiological processes in the face of external variations
homeostasis
46
Eukaryotik Cell
nucleus surrounded by a membrane that separates the cell into two regions: nucleus and cytoplasm
47
Prokaryotik Cell
no membrane around their cell parts or nuclei
48
Plasma membrane
covers the cell; regulates the passage of substances; detect chemical messengers; anchor a variety of proteins (EC,IC and proteins)
49
permeability
permitting the passage; selectively permeable- will allow only some substances
50
cytoskeleton
maintain the shape of the cell; anchors organelles in place
51
nucleus
biggest part of the cell; controls growth
52
cytoplasm
fluid found inside; helps bring down waste
53
ribosomes
protein production machine
54
mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell
55
glycolisis
anaerobic metabolism
56
krebs cycle
aerobic metabolism
57
Endoplasmic Reticulum
rough ER- w/ ribosomes smooth ER- without ribosomes
58
lysosomes
"suicide sacs" - breakdown excess or worn out parts
59
mitosis
division of cells; 46 chromosomes
60
apoptosis
programmed cell death
61
meiosis
division of cells; 23 chromosomes
62
simple diffusion
high -> low concentrations result of thermal motion
63
simple diffusion is dependent on...
concentration diff., temp, molecular mass, lipid solubility
