  • What is physiology?

    Physiology is the study of function in living organisms.

  • Which cavity do the lungs lie in?

    The lungs lie in the thoracic cavity.

  • What is the anatomical position?

    The anatomical position is body erect, arms at sides, thumbs pointed laterally, and palms facing anteriorly.

  • What is homeostasis?

    Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment.

  • What does distal mean in anatomical terms?

    Distal means further away from the trunk of the body.

  • What type of bond involves sharing electrons between atoms?

    A covalent bond involves sharing electrons between two atoms.

  • What characterizes polar molecules?

    Polar molecules share electrons unequally, resulting in partial electrical charges.

  • What are proteins made of?

    Proteins are made from amino acids.

  • What is the alpha-helix in protein structure?

    The alpha-helix is an example of secondary protein structure.

  • What protein structure does hemoglobin represent?

    Hemoglobin is an example of quaternary protein structure.

  • What is a monounsaturated fatty acid?

    A fatty acid with one double bond between carbon atoms is monounsaturated.

  • What happens when ATP phosphate bonds are broken?

    Breaking ATP phosphate bonds releases energy.

  • What is an organ?

    An organ is a structure made of two or more tissues working together.

  • Why is anatomical position used?

    It is used as a standard reference point for directional terms regardless of body position.

  • What is the order of biological complexity from simplest to most complex?

    Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organ.

  • What pH is the stomach normally at?

    The stomach has a pH of about 2, which is acidic.

  • What is the most abundant lipid in the human body?

    Triglycerides are the most abundant lipids in the human body.

  • What four elements make up about 96% of the human body?

    Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up about 96% of the body.

  • What is the function of enzymes in chemical reactions?

    Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions.

  • What is the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

    It requires oxygen and involves proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

  • What is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration?

    Oxygen is the final electron acceptor during cellular respiration.

  • What is the main function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

    It plays a role in the synthesis of proteins.

  • What is the structure of the plasma membrane?

    The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer surrounding the cell.

  • What happens to cells in a hypertonic solution?

    Cells lose water and shrink in a hypertonic solution.

  • What type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome?

    Transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

  • What is mitosis?

    Mitosis is the division of genetic material within the nucleus.

  • What is the function of microtubules in the cell?

    Microtubules form spindle fibers for cell division and help organize and move organelles.

  • What is the role of nucleoli in the nucleus?

    Nucleoli are the sites of ribosomal RNA synthesis.

  • What is the fate of glucose carbon atoms during cellular respiration?

    The 6 carbon atoms of glucose are converted to carbon dioxide.
