Cellular Metabolism and Physiology Review

Vocabulary flashcards covering topics on cellular metabolism, mitochondrial ATP production, post-operative nutrition, anabolism, and insulin function.

Post-Operation Recovery Nutrition

Nutritional support provided to a post-operative patient to support metabolism and tissue repair.

Mitochondria

Cellular organelles responsible for producing most of the cell's ATP through cellular respiration.

Impaired Cellular Metabolism

A state in which cells may lack energy to perform their normal functions.
