A&P

front 1

describe the anatomical position

back 1

"standing at attention" body erect, feet slightly apart but with palms facing out and thumbs away from the body

Negative- changes the variable back to its original state

Positive- the output enhances the original stimulus.

front 5

Explain the pH scale. which side indicates a base? Which side indicates an acid? Which accepts Hydrogen? Which releases Hydrogen?

back 5

pH scale is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. anything higher than 7 is a base and anything lower than 7 is an acid. 7 is neutral. A base accepts H+ and an Acid releases H+

front 6

Why does spraying a hypertonic salt solution into the nasal cavity relieve a swollen, stuffy nose?

back 6

My nose cells will lose water from them (since my nose is hypotonic to the solution) making my think snot/congestion thinner. The salt (hypertonic) solution will draw out excess water from the mucus membrane (osmosis) reducing space the inflamed area occupies.

front 7

What are the consequences of drinking excessive amounts of water (hypotonic to the body fluids)? Drinking salt water?

back 7

Water hypotonic means body hypertonic= more water going to the body, body loses salt causing brain and cell swelling.

If body is hypotonic and salt water is hypertonic= the body will pull water out of the cells causing dehydration.

front 11

Active transport vs Passive transport? What do they have in common? How are they different?

back 11

Active transport- movement of a molecule to a higher concentration gradient across a cell membrane. requires energy.
