A&P Intro
What is the anatomical term for front?
Anterior
The most basic unit of matter
atom
This organelle is responsible for ATP synthesis
Mitochondria
The root word osteo or osseo refers to what type of tissue
Bone
What is the body's energy currency?
ATP
List the five physiology core concepts
Flow down gradients
Interdependence
Structure and function
Cell to cell communication
Homeostasis
Another term for a hydrogen ion. H+
Proton
What is the primary function of tRNA?
tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome to facilitate protein synthesis
Fingerlike projections often found on columnar epithelial tissue. Increases surface area.
Microvilli
The most common connective tissue. Said to be the general packing tissue of the human body.
Areolar tissue
Briefly define anatomy, physiology, and pathology
Anatomy: study of human body
Physiology: study of the functions of the human body
Pathology: study of disease (deviation from normal functions)
This type of reaction absorbs more energy than it releases
Endergonic
Which organelle is responsible for protein synthesis?
Ribosome
This type of muscle tissue is striated and its cells often contain multiple nuclei
Skeletal muscle tissue
Fluid produced by the synovial membrane in our freely moveable joints
Synovial fluid
List the following organizational terms in structural order from smallest to largest:
Cellular
Tissue
Organ
Organism
Chemical
Organ system
Chem, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
List the following compounds from least to most acidic:
Carbonic acid
Baking soda (NaHCO3)
Blood
Battery acid
Drain cleaner
Drain cleaner
Baking soda (NaHCO3)
Blood
Carbonic acid
Battery acid
Endurance training would often lead to increased density of this organelle
Mitochondria
Would you expect firm and stable fibrocartilage to have a higher proportion of elastic or collagen fibers?
Collagen fibers
This blood vessel serves as the connection point between the arterial system and the venous system. Also said to be the body's primary exchange vessels.
Capillaries
Using correct anatomical terminology, describe in which region of the body you would find the quadriceps femoris
The anterior thigh
The body has a number of major buffer systems. One of them involves carbonic acid and its associated weak base. What is the name of that base?
Bicarbonate
In which type of athlete would you generally expect to see more adaptive ribosomal biogenesis?
- Marathon runner
- Chess player
- Bodybuilder
- Ultra endurance cyclist
Bodybuilder
These connect cardiac muscle cells to one another to facilitate synchronized contraction
Intercalated discs
Briefly describe how we harness energy from a molecule of ATP
High-energy phosphate bonds are broken in a process called ATP hydrolysis. Reaction proceeds with ATPase enzyme
