What Unit 1 Covers • Levels of organization • Body systems • Biochemistry (macromolecules) • Cross sectional planes • Anatomical terms
Levels of Organization Metabolism : all the chemical reactions occurring in the body. Homeostasis: Body’s maintenance of a stable internal environment
FUN Positional Terms !!!! • Superior versus Inferior • Anterior versus Posterior • Medial versus Lateral • Ipsilateral versus Contralateral • Proximal versus Distal • Superficial versus Deep
Cross Sections Sagittal Transverse Coronal
Carbohydrates • Sugars • Provide both energy and structure • There are 3 types: • Monosaccharide • 1 sugar – quick energy • Disaccharide • 2 sugars – short storage • Polysaccharide • many sugars –long term energy storage
Lipids • Water insoluble • Triglycerides: insulation and long-term energy • Phospholipids: make up cell membrane • Steroids: cell signaling • Includes androgens and estrogens. • Waxes: prevent water loss, protect
Proteins • Versatile in function • Prevalent
Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA • Made up of nucleotides • phosphate molecule, • nitrogenous base, and • 5-carbon sugar • Several types of nucleic acids, including: • DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid, double stranded helix • RNA: ribonucleic acid that is used for making proteins, single stranded, includes uracil instead of thymine • ATP: adenosine triphosphate, provides energy for cell
