INTRO TO ANATOMY & CELL HISTOLOGY

Carrier

________- mediated mechanisms- use membrane protein to travel across membrane.

Negative feedback

________- process in which the body senses a change and activates mechanisms that negate or reverse it- key mechanism for maintaining health.

Clathrin

________- coated vesicle.

Cardiac muscle

________- striated and involuntary.

Hypertonic

________- cell shrivels and loses water (higher concentration inside than outside)

Vasodilation

________- greater blood flow to area.

Exocytosis

________- discharging material from the cell.

Vascular stasis

________- slowing of blood in bloodstream.

Exudation

________- fluid, proteins, RBC, WBC.

Hypotonic

________- cell absorbs more water and swell (higher concentration of solute outside)

Histamine

________ dilates blood vessels and makes capillaries more permeable.

Adipose

________- stores energy, insulation, cushion.

Isotonic

________- no cell change volume.

Transitional

________- filling of urinary tract (ureter and bladder)

Specificity

________- only binds to certain solutes.

Osmosis

________- WATER ONLY.

Peripheral

________- do not pass all the way through, adhere to face of membrane.

Frontal

________- perpendicular to sagittal, divides into ________ and back.

Macrophages

________ phagocytize and digest tissue debris.

Woman

________ giving birth- head pushes on cervix, signal sent to brain, brain releases oxytocin, oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions.

Models

Anatomical variation- variation in a specific structure. ________ account for the average person but sometimes people have some structures absent while others have it present.

Physiology

________- study of function.

Fibrocartilage

________- resists compression, absorbs shock, pubic symphysis.

Uniport

________- one type of solute.
