Outer serous membrane
List the three types of muscle tissue
Smooth, cardiac, skeletal
What are stem cells?
Cells that can self-renew and differentiate
What is ATP?
Energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things
Transverse Cut
Divides the body into superior and inferior sections
What is the visceral membrane?
Inner serous membrane
What type of tissue is simple cuboidal tissue?
Epithelial
Which type of stem cell is responsible for the formation of the umbilical cord and the placenta?
Totipotent stem cells
What are the four macromolecules?
Costal Area
Ribs
Which part of the body is the peritoneum and which organ(s) are encompassed?
Abdominopelvic area, encompasses stomach, kidneys, liver, large/small intestines
What type of tissue includes Glial cells/Oligodendrocytes/Neuroglia?
Nervous
What is the function of the Multipotent stem cells?
Can generate different cell types but only for the organ/tissue they are in. Location specific.
What are the parts of an enzyme reaction?
Enzyme, active site, substrate, protein denaturation
Lateral
Toward the side
Which part of the body is the Pleural region and which organ(s) are included?
Chest region, encompasses the lungs
Infection, destruction of cells
Which two stem cells are present at the early stages in development but not after birth?
Totipotent and Pluripotent
What is the difference between Anabolism and Catabolism?
Catabolism breaks down macromolecules into monomers. Does not use energy.
Anabolism builds monomers into macromolecules. Does use energy
Otic Area
Ear
What part of the body is the Pericardial region and which organ(s) are encompassed?
Chest region, encompasses the heart
What is a congenital defect?
Disease or condition that is present at birth
How are iPS cells formed?
Scientists take multipotent stem cells and engineer them in a lab to behave like pluripotent stem cells.
Difference between Active Transport and Passive Transport
Passive Transport does not require energy, moves molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (along the concentration gradient)
Active Transport uses energy. Moves molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (against the concentration gradient)
