BIO310H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Sodium Channel, Lipid Bilayer, Potassium Channel
Document Summary
We study the interaction and working of all components in a living organism. Goal is homeostasis (creates a balance in the organism that allows for survival and efficiency. Thin and thick filaments = major components in muscle contraction. Individual components of the frog (from the actin molecules to myosin, leading to muscular contraction and leading to the frogs jump. Myofibers, muscle tissue forms the working muscle. We learn how these systems interact (action potential muscle contraction, but how it all gets propagated to work) Applies fundamental physics law (such as boyles law with gases, kinetic and potential energy, etc. ) Thermodynamics important chemical component (metabolism, using the energy gained from resources and converting it into working energy, and what results of the energetic waste, this is thermodynamics) Three important terms for this current lecture: adaptation, acclimation, acclimatization. All three allows for animals to survive in their environment (based on changing towards it)
