BIOS 255 Comprehensive exam

  • Negative feedback
  • –Answer A process in which the body senses a change and activates mechanisms that reverse it. Keeps a variable close to its set point. Negative feedback opposes original stimulus. MOST COMMON feedback loop.

  • Examples of negative feedback
  • –Answer body temperature, blood pressure, glucose regulation

  • Components of a feedback loop
  • –Answer stimulus, sensor, control center, effector

  • Positive feedback
  • –Answer A type of regulation that responds to a change in conditions by initiating responses that will amplify the change. Takes organism away from a steady state. Enhances original stimulus

  • Examples of positive feedback
  • –Answer birth, blood clotting, lactation

  • epithelial tissue
  • –Answer Epithelial tissue consists of a sheet of closely adhering cells, one or more cells thick, with the upper surface usually exposed to the environment or to an internal space in the body.Epithelium covers the body surface, lines body cavities, forms the external and internal linings of many organs, and constitutes most gland tissue.

  • epithelia
  • –Answer avascular (without blood vessels) —there is no room for them between the cells. Epithelia, however, usually lie on a vessel rich layer of connective tissue, which furnishes them with nutrients and waste removal 1 / 2

  • what is beneath epithelial tissue?
  • –Answer a basement membrane that serves as an anchor to the connective tissue layer beneath

  • are epithelial tissues polarized?
  • –Answer epithelial cells establish an apical-basial polarity which results from the differential distribution of phospholipids, proteins complexes, and cytoskeletal components between the various plasma membrane domains reflecting their specialized functions

  • *CONNECTIVE TISSUE* What is chondroitin sulfate and
  • –Answer Chondroitin sulfate is the most common GAG (glycosaminoglycans)

  • How are glycosaminoglycans charged?
  • –Answer GAGS are negatively charged, which attracts sodium and potassium ions, which in return causes them to absorb and retain water

  • Where is chondroitin sulfate located in the body?
  • –Answer found in blood vessels and bones

  • What role do glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have
  • –Answer they regulate the water and electrolyte balance in tissues

  • collagen fibers
  • –Answer provides flexibility and strength

  • elastic fibers
  • –Answer Flexible and "stretchy" fibers that add elasticity to tissue

  • reticular fibers
  • –Answer Fibers made of collagen fibers that are very thin and branched. interwoven
