Characteristics of Life
Change in position of the body or of a body part; motion of an internal organ
What is movement?
Maintenance of a stable enternal environment
What is homeostasis?
Section that divides the body (or organ) into equal left and right parts
What is the Midsagittal Section?
This type of transport includes the following: diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, filtration
What is Passive Transport?
This is known as the "silent killer"
What is hypertension?
Reaction to a change inside or outside of the body
What is Responsiveness?
This is a part of homeostatic regulation that receives a stimulus.
What is the receptor?
This section divides the body into inferior and superior parts
What is the Transverse section?
This part of the phospholipid bilayer is hydrophobic
What is the fatty acid "tail"
In this type of solution, cells will gain water and swell
What is Hypotonic solution?
Movement of substances in body fluids
What is Circulation?
This is the part of homeostatic regulation that processes and integrates information from the receptor.
What is the control center?
This is when referring to organs on opposite sides of the body
Ex: Right eye and Left Lung
What is Contralateral?
This part of the phospholipid bilayer is hydrophilic
What is the phosphate "head"
In this type of solution, cells will lose water and shrink
What is a Hypertonic Solution?
Changing absorbed substances into chemically different forms?
What is Assimilation?
This is known as the reversal of the initial deviation, helps maintain homeostasis.
Ex: Sweating, shivering
What is a Negative Feedback Loop?
This is when referring to organs on the same side of the body.
Ex: Right eye and Right Lung
What is Ipsilateral?
The following substances are considered ____ when referring to passing though the phospholipid bilayer: NA+, K+, Ca2+, H+
What is Impermeable?
The use of water to break down ATP
Passage of substances through membranes and into body fluids
What is Absorption?
The mechanism amplifies an initial stimulus, temporarily moving the body away from it's stable internal environment.
Examples: Uterine contractions, breast feeding, blood clotting
What is a Positive Feedback Loop?
This plane would be required for an MRI of the head to show both eyes and nose within the same image
What is the Frontal (Coronal) Plane?
The exchange of O2 and Carbon Dioxide in lungs are an example of this type of Passive Transport
What is an example of Simple Diffusion?
This type of solution is considered to be equivalent to 0.9% NaCl, having the same osmotic pressure as body fluids.
