Document Summary
Introduction to physiology: simplified view of human body, one layer of epithelial tissue separates internal from external environments, have to be kept separate for health, yellow is internal environment, purple is external environment, yellow is extracellular fluid (ecf) The cell: structure & function: protein synthesis, how does the nucleus control/regulate cellular activity, dna, how does dna control/regulate cellular activity, dna codes for proteins. Atp: fadh2 delivers e- to coenzyme q, for every. In dm, insulin-dependent glucose carriers are impaired or absent: makes glucose impermeant to cells. Increases tonicity of plasma: hypertonic plasma with really high bg, solute conc is high outside cell, water rushes out of cell, cells shrink, keeps cells from being able to carry oxygen well. If the cell is only permeable to a certain ion, the ex of that ion is the resting membrane potential of that cell: electrical signaling = changing vm.
