Document Summary

Quaternary chain is the number and arrangement of multiple folded protein subunits in a complex chain. Mitochondria breaks down nutrients further and releases chemical energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds. ** most reflex responses involve efferent (motor) responses at different levels of the spinal cord and therefore would involve multiple interneurons** Folded appearance, folds separate functional areas: cerebellum, diencephalon. Made up of formed elements (cells) and a non-living matrix (plasma) Damaged blood vessel: respond to exposed connective tissue and release chemicals onto their surface. Levels of structural: atomic, cellular, tissue, organ, system, organism. The tendency towards a stable equilibrium between interdependent elements in physiological processes. Lungs, kidneys, and gi tract are portals for movement of chemicals between environments. Heat generated by metabolism is lost through skin and mucous membranes. Homeostatic control relies on: constant monitoring of blood composition, responding to changes in blood composition.
