A&P I Final Exam Cumulative Review Slides Spring 2014 Lectures 1-17 1 Body Regions Figure 1.7 in Textbook 2 Anatomical Terminology Anatomical Position – body standing erect, facing forward, upper limbs at the sides, palms facing forward Terms of Relative Position • Superior versus Inferior •Anterior versus Posterior •Medial versus Lateral •Ipsilateral versus Contralateral •Proximal versus Distal •Superficial versus Deep 3 Homeostasis A CRITICAL (and very testable) concept in physiology Body’s maintenance of a stable internal environment **Absence of homeostasis = DISEASE Homeostatic Mechanisms – monitor aspects of the internal environment and corrects any changes •Receptors - provide information about environment •Control center - tells what a particular value should be •Effectors - causes responses to change internal environment Negative feedback – deviation from set point progressively lessens Positive feedback – deviation from set point gets progressively greater 4 Homeostasis • Remember that homeostasis does NOT mean constant! – Continual variations occur in body systems – Gives rise to ‘normal ranges’ (See Appendix B) • Examples of negative feedback – Temperature regulation, blood pressure, blood glucose levels • Examples of positive feedback – Blood clotting, milk production, uterine contraction 5 Chemical Bond Summary TYPE OF BOND DEFINITION DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE IONIC when atoms lose or gain electrons becoming ions, and then oppositely charged ions are attracted to one another bond is broken by water salts, NaCl COVALENT when 1 or more pair(s) of electrons is/are shared by atoms (single, double, triple) strong bond the bonds holding a molecule of H20 together, CO2 HYDROGEN when a (slightly positive) hydrogen atom that is already covalently bonded to a molecule is attracted to a slightly negative atom. Very weak bond; in molecules whose purpose is to easily break and then come back together reactions between water molecules (i.e. ice to water to gas); DNA chains (typically with O, N) 6 Acids, Bases, and Salts Electrolytes – soluble inorganic substances that release ions in water (aqueous) and will conduct an electrical current NaCl Na+ + Cl- Acids – substances that release hydrogen ions (protons) in water HCl H+ + Cl- Bases – substances that release OH- (or other negative) ions in water that can combine with, and remove, H+ from solution NaOH Na+ + OH- Salts – electrolytes formed by the reaction between an acid and a base (anions/cations EXCEPT H+ or OH-) HCl + NaOH H2O + NaCl 7 pH (H+ concentration) *Notice: [H+], pH, [OH-] *Notice: [H+], pH, [OH-] pH scale - indicates the concentration of FREE hydrogen ions in solution (think: “power of Hydrogen”) *pH of human blood plasma = 7.35 – 7.45 (AVG = 7.4) Acids – substances that release hydrogen ions (protons) in water Bases – substances that release OH- (or other negative) ions in water that can combine with, and remove, H+ from solution 8 Organic Molecule Carbohydrates (sugars) Lipids (Fats) Proteins Nucleic Acids Composed of what atoms? C, H, O C, H, O C, H, O, N, S C, H, O, N, P Building Blocks (monomers) Monosaccharides, e.g. hexoses Triglycerides: glycerol and 3 fatty acids Phospholipid: glycerol, 2 FA, phosphate amino acids nucleotides: pentose sugar, phosphate, nitrogen base Specific types & functions of monomers Mono-; glucose, fructose, galactose TG: energy Phospholipid: cell membrane component Steroid: cell membrane component and chemical messenger (i.e. cholesterol) 20 different amino acids; each differs from the others because of its unique R group N/A N/A proteins (>100 amino acids); Many functions: ENZYMES, antibodies, structure, transport, chemical messengers, storage DNA: deoxy-ribonucleic acid; genetic material; RNA: ribonucleic acid; aids DNA in protein synthesis. Saturated (only single bonds between C’s in fa chain) vs. Unsaturated (at least 1 double bond in fa chain) Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds DNA controls cellular activity by instructing our cells what proteins to make (i.e. Enzymes through protein synthesis).

Glucose is converted to pyruvate, which is converted to acetyl CoA when there is sufficient O2 present. 2. Acetyl CoA enters the TCA cycle. 3. If O2 is not present, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid to replenish the supply of NAD+ so glycolysis can continue to make ATP ATP NADH,FADH2 CO2 Generation of energy intermediates (NADH, FADH2, ATP) and CO2 ATP NAD+,FAD H2O Generation of ATP and reduction of O2 to H2O (Recall that reduction is the addition of electrons) 1. The energy in acetyl CoA 1. Chemiosmosis (that drives is trapped in activated oxidative phosphorylation) uses carriers of electrons (NADH, the electrons donated by NADH FADH2) and activated and FADH2 to eject H+ from the carriers of phosphate groups matrix of the mitochondria to the (ATP). intermembrane space. 2. The carries of electrons that trap the energy from 2. These H+ then flow down acetyl CoA bring their high their concentration gradient energy electrons to the through a protein (ATP synthase) electron transport chain. that makes ATP from ADP and phosphate. 3. During this process, the H+ that come through the channel in ATP synthase are combined with O2 to make H2O. 28 Cell Nucleus • control center of cell • nuclear envelope (membrane) • porous double membrane • separates nucleoplasm from cytoplasm (*eukaryotes only) • nucleolus • dense collection of RNA and proteins • site of ribosome production • chromatin • fibers of DNA and proteins • stores information for synthesis of proteins Figure From: Marieb & Hoehn, Human Anatomy & Physiology, 9th ed., Pearson 29 The Cell Cycle • series of changes a cell undergoes from the time it forms until the time it divides • stages • interphase (G1, S, G2) • mitosis • cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis) Figure From: Marieb & Hoehn, Human Anatomy & Physiology, 9th ed., Pearson Differentiated cells may spend all their time in ‘G0’ (neurons, skeletal muscle, red blood cells).
