Document Summary
How an organism accomplishes actions to stay alive (in this case: human) Mechanism: how does the action get accomplished. We will be focusing on the mechanisms but also looking at the why. Ion distributions (smallest level): fluctuating changes in these ion distributions allow the nervous system to work. Protein activities (e. g. setting up the structure that we are, enzymes(components that help chemical reactions)) Cell and system activities (e. g. rbc, renal) Combination of ologies + physiologese: bio, anatomy, chem, physics. Like a foreign language: make sure you are fluent in physio terminology. Four critical equations (3 associated with chem, 1 with physics) These are the underlying basis for what happens in human body. Atp adp + pi + energy. Glucose + o2 + adp + pi atp + co2 + h2o + heat. Contains equation 1 in reverse (products and reactants) The job that will make us the money.
