Body Systems
This system consists of glands and cell clusters that secrete hormones - plays an important role in digestive processes and maintaining blood composition
What is the Endocrine System?
I store proteins, transport them intracellularly via transport vesicles, and have all these little ribosomes covering me
What is the Rough ER?
I'm the Universal Solvent because I dissolve more substances than anything else
What is Water?
I am the region including the head, neck, and trunk forming the "center" of your body
What is the Axial Region?
The sum of all chemical reactions within the body
What is metabolism?
This body system is responsible for O2 and CO2 exchange in the lungs
What is the Respiratory System?
I'm the "Amazon Delivery Service" of the cell; packing, modifying, and sorting proteins for use throughout the body
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
I'm formed when cation and anions bond with each other, my most common form is NaCl
What is an Ionic Bond?
The two-layered serous membrane enclosing the heart
What is the Pericardium?
Molecules like water are found in cells (the functional units of organisms) which consist of tissues when they perform common functions but are organs when multiple work together
What are the levels of organization?
This system prevents water loss, houses sensory receptors, and is known as the immune systems first line of defense
What is the Integumentary System?
I separate the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm using a phospholipid bilayer to "gatekeep" material movement
What is the Nuclear Envelope (or Membrane)?
These substances are known as proton donors since the more H+ you have the more like me you become
What is Acidic?
The two-layed serous membrane stretching over the abdominopelvic cavity
What is the Peritoneum?
Structure of the Feedback Loop which initiates change through effector(s)
What is the Control Center?
This system is the site of hematopoiesis, stores phosphorus, and provides protection
What is the Skeletal System?
I synthesize, transport, and store lipid molecules (like steroids and phospholipids) which are crucial for detoxification
What is the Smooth ER?
Potential of Hydrogen is my full name, measuring relative H+ content is my game
What is the pH scale?
I am the median space between the lungs, containing the heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea, and the connecting major vessels
What is the Mediastinum?
Blood glucose spikes causing the pancreas to release insulin -> liver removes the excess -> insulin release ceases
This body system is composed of unique tissues and generates heat as part of its function
What is the Muscular System?
Scientists believe I was once a simple bacterium, which is why I have my own DNA and use aerobic cellular respiration to complete my processes
What is the Powerhouse of the Cell?
Nonpolar, water-insoluble molecules that function as stored energy (ex. eicosanoids and steroids)
What are Lipids?
I'm lateral to the hypogastric region - housing your appendix and ureters
What are the Right/Left Iliac Regions?
Paper cuts cause damage to blood vessels -> prostacyclin hormone released -> triggering platelet aggregation -> platelet plug formation
