Anatomy is the study of the structure and organization of body parts.
Physiology is the study of the functions and processes of body parts.
They are complementary; anatomy studies structure, while physiology studies function.
Chemistry explains the molecular basis of body structures and functions.
Biochemistry studies the chemical processes and substances within living organisms.
Cytology is the study of cells, their structure, function, and chemistry.
RMP stands for Resting Membrane Potential, the electrical potential difference across a cell membrane at rest.
It is caused by the unequal distribution of ions, mainly Na+ and K+, across the cell membrane.
Organelles surrounded by membranes, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
Nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes.
The nucleus stores genetic material and controls cell activities.
Mitochondria produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
The RER has ribosomes and synthesizes proteins for export or membranes.
The SER synthesizes lipids and detoxifies chemicals.
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport.
Lysosomes contain enzymes to digest cellular waste and foreign material.
Primarily water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Water is the main solvent and medium for chemical reactions in the body.
Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Proteins function as enzymes, structural components, and signaling molecules.
