PHYSIOL 435 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Phospholipase A2, Signal Transduction, Sickle-Cell Disease
Document Summary
Chapter 1: the general scope of human physiology and homeostasis - book pg 1-19. Understand the concept of homeostasis and how most physiological processes adhere to this phenomenon. Be able to explain positive and negative feedback and feed-forward responses and give examples. Acclimatization vs. adaptation - understand the difference + give examples. Understand the clinical case study at the end of the chapter and how homeostatic control was impacted. Chapter 2: chemical composition of the body + relation to physiology - book pg 23-30, 40-43. Be able to apply the principles of general chemistry to topics in the future chapters (i. e. molecules, solutions, intermolecular interactions) Know the cell types (neuron, connective, muscle, epithelial) and hierarchy of organization. Understand the general idea of how protein structure fits function and when compromised can lead to a diseased state (clinical case study - sickle cell trait)
