Basic Human A&P
This area between the pleural cavities contains the heart in the pericardium and major vessels.
Mediastinum
A steeper concentration gradient, more channel proteins, and/or heat increase the rate of _______________ across the cell membrane.
(Facilitated) Diffusion
These bonds occur between molecules with polar covalent bonds (polar molecules), are weak individually, and are represented by dotted lines.
Hydrogen (H+) bonds
All epidermal cells originate from stem cells in this minor layer of the skin.
Stratum Basale
This changes the charge in the local area of the cell based on the strength of the stimulus. It may or may not trigger an AP.
Graded or Local Potential
The right hip bone is in this abdominal region (one of 9).
Right Iliac Region
Because cell membranes allow only some substances to pass, they are called this.
Selectively permeable
This reaction breaks polymers into monomers.
Hydrolysis or Decomposition
This minor layer of the skin is only found in the palmar and plantar regions.
Stratum Lucidum
A neuron is REpolarized when these channels open (use the full term).
Voltage-gated K+ Channels
This directional term means "closer to the tail."
Caudal
This organelle sorts proteins, forms their quaternary structure, and shops them to their final destination in vesicles.
Golgi apparatus
These proteins are never changed by the reactions they catalyze. A benefit to using them is that they speed up the reaction by reducing the Energy of Activation.
Enzymes
This is the only skin gland that secretes directly onto the skin through a pore.
Eccrine Sweat/Sudoriferous Gland
This is defined as: the high Na+ concentration outside and high K+ concentrations inside the neuron creates an electrical potential difference across the membrane of -70mV
Resting Membrane Potential
This section bisects the body, dividing it into right and left halves.
(Mid)sagittal
These glands secrete their contents via exocytosis (rather than whole or parts of the cell itself).
Merocrine
A Bohr Model of Magnesium (Atomic # 12) has ________ in its valence shell.
2 electrons
The Arrector Pili (structure) is made of this major type of tissue.
Muscle Tissue
The ____________ Principle states that as long as a stimulus is strong enough to exceed threshold, the neuron will fire the same size AP (+30mV) no matter how strong the stimulus. An AP is propagated or it isn't.
All-or-Nothing
These uncommon mechanisms make deviations from normal even larger.
Positive Feedback
Before mitosis can proceed, the cell must pass ______. The enzymes involved proofread the DNA, and can fix mutations or trigger apoptosis.
p53 checkpoint
In addition to a phosphate and nitrogenous base, this molecule contains a 5-Carbon sugar with an Oxygen on the 2' carbon.
RNA Nucleotide
This structure in the dermis contains neurons surrounded by many layers of a fatty substance. More pressure distorts more layers, a message then delivered to the brain.
Lamellar or Pacinian Corpuscle
An increase / decrease of ____ ions outside the neuron makes the cell's RMP more positive (depolarized). [Write both IN or DE and the ion type!]
Increase in K+
