15
Q

Cephalad/caudal

A

Cephalad: (cephalous (L) skull/head) moving towards the head

Caudal: (caudal (L) tail) moving towards the tail

16
Q

Lateral/ medial

A

Lateral: moving towards the side

Medial: moving towards the center

Restricted to trunk

17
Q

Superficial/deep

A

Superficial: lying closer to the surface

Deep: closer to the center

18
Q

Proximal/distal

A

Proximal: closer to the attachment on the body

Distal: further from the attachment

Used for the extremities

19
Q

Ipsilateral/ contralateral

A

Ipsilateral: (ipsi (L): contra the opposite of/ same) same side

Contralateral: opposite side

Used for reflexes

20
Q

Anatomical planes

A

3 planes based on 3 axises

Transverse, Sagittal, frontal/coronal, oblique

21
Q

Sagittal

A

Divides the body into left and right

22
Q

Parasagittal

A

Anywhere else in the body but the exact center dividing into a left and right section

23
Q

Midsagittal

A

Dividing body into left and right directly through the middle

24
Q

Frontal/ coronal

A

Frontal- split body info complete front and back of the entire body

Coronal- (corona (L) crown front and back of the head and neck

25
Q

Oblique

A

Plane that is not directly in one of the 3 planes

26
Q

Carbohydrates

A

Polymers, glycogen, starch, cellulose

Equal carbon and water
Storage form of energy
16 stereoisomers of glucose
5 and 6 carbon sugars are most important

27
Q

Free fatty acids

A

Not attached to glycerol

28
Q

Triglycerides

A

Form of most lipids in the body

3 fatty acids attached to glycerol via ester bond

29
Q

Non-fatty acid lipids

A

Steroids

Cholesterols
Hormones that can penetrate the cellular and nuclear membrane

30
Q

Phospholipids

A

Make up cell walls

Phosphate is very polar

31
Q

Glycerol

A

If you take the fatty acid off the lipid

32
Q

Cholesterol

A

Nonpolar

Resident in the membrane

33
Q

Diffuse through the membrane somewhat easily

A

Gases
Non-polar organics
Water in small quantities

34
Q

amino acids

A

21

35
Q

Hierarchal structure of proteins

A

Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary

36
Q

Isoform

A

Structures (usually enzymes) which have slight differences in primary structure causing a slight difference in function

Example: myosin has 2 different forms, one of which has a mor rapid fast burst function and the owner which is better for endurance

37
Q

Nucleic acids

A 
Pentode sugar base
Nitrogenous base
Carbon 2 either H or OH
phosphate
Triphosphates in nucleic acids
