25
reproductive system function
continuity of life
26
fluid, transport and defence
cardiovascular system, lymphatic system
27
control and regulation organ system
nervous system, endocrine system
28
continuity of life
reproductive system
29
environmental exchange organ systems
respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system
30
support and movement organ systems
integumentary system, muscular system, skeletal system
31
what does the internal environment of the body consist of
cells, fluid
32
fluid outside of body is called
extracellular fluid (ECF)
33
fluid inside cells is called
intracellular fluid (ICF)
34
body fluids are solutions consisting of
solution = solvent + solute(s)
35
molecules are described what chemical formulas
molecular formula, structural formula
36
cations
positive charge
37
anions
negative charge
38
electrolytes
electrically charged atoms or molecules in solution
39
salts
ions other than H+
40
acids
release H+ ions in solution, the concentration of H+ ions determines the acidity of the solution
41
bases
ions that can bind H+ ions
42
pH scale
is a way to measure the number of H+ ions in a solution
43
pH of 7
neutral, equal amount of H+ and base ions
44
below pH 7
acidic, contain more H+ ions than base ions
45
above pH 7
basic, contain more base ions than H+ ions
46
Low pH value
high H+ ion concentration
47
High pH value
low H+ ion concentration
48
normal pH range
7.35-7.45
49
below 7.35
acidosis
50
above 7.45
alkalosis
51
buffer
a molecule that can bind or release free H+ ions to counter changes in pH and maintain the normal pH range
52
organic molecules
contain both carbon and hydrogen
53
inorganism molecules
do not contain both carbon and hydrogen
54
4 classes of organism macromolecules make our body
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
55
three types of carbohydrates
monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides
56
monosaccharides
small, soluble
57
disaccharides
small, soluble
58
polysaccharides
large, insoluble
59
function of carbohydrates
provide energy for all cellular function
60
three main kinds of lipids
triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids
61
triglycerides function
long term energy storage
62
phospholipids
form all cell membranes, transport lipids in plasma
63
4 types of steroids
cholesterol, hormones, vitamin D, bile
64
cholesterol
essential component for all cell membranes
65
hormones
control many physiological processes
66
vitamin D
necessary for normal bone growth and function
67
bile
aids in fat digestion and absorption
68
what are the two classes of nucleic acids
DNA and RNA
69
two fundamental role of DNA
self replication, instructions for building every protein
70
role of RNA
carries out the orders for protein synthesis
71
two proteins
fibrous proteins, globular proteins
72
fibrous proteins
structural roles
73
globular proteins
functional roles
74
3 structural proteins of fibrous proteins
collagen, keratin, elastin
75
collagen
strength of bones, tendons and ligaments
76
keratin
substance of hair and nails, provides water resistance to skin
77
elastin
provides flexibility in tendons, ligaments, skin
78
globular function
transport, regulation, defence
79
enzymes
biological catalyst
80
synthesis reaction
atoms or small molecules are bonded together to form larger more complex molecules
81
decomposition reactions
chemicals bonds are broken in large molecules resulting in smaller, less complex molecules or atoms
82
exchange reactions
chemical bonds are both made and broken
83
what does the ECF contain
interstitial fluid, plasma
84
homeostasis definition
is a dynamic stable state, internal conditions can vary but they remain within narrow limits
85
homeostatic control mechanisms
receptor, afferent pathway, control centre, efferent pathway, effector
86
stimulus
produces change in variable
87
receptor
detects change
88
response
response of effector reeds back to reduce the effect of stimulus and returns to homeostatic level
89
nervous system characteristics
electrical, rapid, short, narrow
90
endocrine system characteristics
chemical, slow, long, wide
91
negative feedback
the response reduces the effect of a stimulus, returns to a variable to within the normal range, then turns off
92
positive feedback
the response enhances the effect of the stimulus, keeps a variable outside the normal range and does not turn off
93
erythrocytes
transport oxygen
94
leukocytes
defence
95
three functions of blood
distribution, regulation, protection
96
distribution of
oxygen and nutrients, metabolic wastes, hormones
97
regulation of
pH, fluid volume, tempature
98
protection
infection control, blood loss
