Introduction
Study strategies crucial for success
 Come to class on time and take careful notes. If you wish,
you may record lecture to assist with note-taking. Do not
leave class early. If you must, let me know before class
begins, and sit in the back to avoid disrupting class
 Read the text and lab material PRIOR to the class it is being
discussed in.
 Re-write your notes as soon as possible after lecture. Take
time to study EVERY day.
 You will need to spend at least 2-4 hours on each chapter.
Plan to review notes/text for a minimum of one hour each
day.
Introduction
Study strategies crucial for success
 Develop the skill of memorization, and practice it regularly.
Visualize word associations.
 Ask questions if you do not understand a concept or
assignment. However, make sure your questions are
relevant to the topic. Do not monopolize class time with
questions. If you are having difficulty with the material
please see me during my office hours. If you have trouble
keeping up with notes- tape lecture.
Introduction
Study strategies crucial for success
 Learn what your learning style is and use techniques specific
to your learning style.
 Complete and submit all laboratory assignments on time.
 Use the “Interactive Physiology” CD-Rom that is packaged
with your text and the additional links and practice quizzes
from my website.
 Mastering A and P website & links from my webpage for
additional animations/tutoring/practice.
 Attend group tutoring, if you cannot attend, use the walk-in
services or arrange for a private tutor. Form study groups
with others in your lab group/class.
Introduction
Study strategies crucial for success
 Do not leave lab early. You should use any extra time at the
end of lab to study models, slides and ADAM photos.

Turn off all pagers, cell phones, etc. during lecture. You
may have them set to “vibrate” during laboratory. Failure to
comply will result in your removal from the classroom.
 Please do not have discussions during lecture time. You
may ask me questions on material but do not have side
conversations. This creates problems in the lecture room. It
is very distracting to everyone.
Introduction
Study strategies crucial for success
Talk to me – I want to you to succeed in this class.
I cannot help if you do not see me, ask me
questions, and let me know how I can help. I even
have candy in my office!

pH and Homeostasis
 pH
 The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution
 pH Scale: 0 - 14
 A balance of H+ and OH—
 Pure water = 7.0
< 7 = acidic
> 7 = alkaline
 pH of human blood
 Ranges from 7.35 to 7.45
pH and Homeostasis
 pH Scale
 Has an inverse relationship with H+
concentration
 More H+ ions mean lower pH, less H+ ions mean
higher pH
pH and Homeostasis
FIGURE 2–9 pH and Hydrogen Ion Concentration.
Carbohydrates
Important Concepts:
We only burn glucose for fuel –
Glycogen is stored in the liver and skeletal muscles
Glycogenesis: making glycogen from glucose
Glycogenolysis: breaking glycogen down into glucose
Gluconeogenesis: making glucose from amino acids &
glycerol
Lipids
Important Concepts:
Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated
Unsaturated can be omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids – important health
implications
Fatty acids & Glycerol are the preferred fuel source for many tissues.

 Permeability determines what moves in and out of a
cell, and a membrane that
 Lets nothing in or out is impermeable
 Lets anything pass is freely permeable
 Restricts movement is selectively permeable
Membrane Transport

 Allows some materials to move freely
 Restricts other materials
 Selective permeability restricts materials based
on




Size
Electrical charge
Molecular shape

 Electrical forces
Tonicity
 A cell in a hypotonic
solution:
 Gains water
 Ruptures (hemolysis of red
blood cells)
 A cell in a hypertonic
solution:
 Loses water
 Shrinks (crenation of red
blood cells)
Filtration
Movement of molecules due to a pressure
gradient (net filtration pressure)
Osmotic Pressure: pressure which holds
water (absorption): in blood mainly
due to plasma proteins
Hydrostatic Pressure: pressure which
pushes molecules out of blood
(filtration)
Tonicity
 A cell in a hypotonic
solution:
 Gains water
 Ruptures (hemolysis of red
blood cells)
 A cell in a hypertonic
solution:
 Loses water

 Carrier-Mediated Transport
 Cotransport
 Two substances move in the same direction at the
same time
 Countertransport
 One substance moves in while another moves out
Carriers and Vesicles
Carrier-Mediated Transport
 Active transport
 Active transport proteins:
– move substrates against concentration gradient
– require energy, such as ATP
– ion pumps move ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+)
– exchange pump countertransports two ions at the same
time
Carriers and Vesicles
Active transport
Sodium-potassium
exchange pump
sodium ions (Na+) out,
potassium ions (K+) in
-1 ATP moves 3 Na+ and 2 K+
Carriers and Vesicles
Active transport Secondary active transport
– Na+ concentration gradient drives
glucose transport
– ATP energy pumps Na+ back out
Carriers and Vesicles
Vesicular Transport (or bulk transport)
 Materials move into or out of cell in vesicles
 Endocytosis (endo- = inside) is active transport using ATP:
– receptor mediated
– pinocytosis
– phagocytosis
 Exocytosis (exo- = outside)
– Granules or droplets are released from the cell
Carriers and Vesicles
Endocytosis
 Receptor-mediated endocytosis:
 Receptors (glycoproteins) bind target molecules (ligands)
 Coated vesicle (endosome) carries ligands and receptors
into the cell
Carriers and Vesicles
Endocytosis
 Pinocytosis
 Endosomes “drink” extracellular fluid
 Phagocytosis
 Pseudopodia (psuedo- = false, pod- = foot)
 Engulf large objects in phagosomes
Carriers and
Vesicles
Figure 3–22 Phagocytosis.
Carriers and Vesicles
Exocytosis
 Is the reverse of endocytosis
 Secretion
Transmembrane Potential
 Interior of plasma membrane is slightly negative,
outside is slightly positive
 Unequal charge across the plasma membrane is
transmembrane potential or RMP
 Resting potential ranges from –10 mV to
–100 mV, depending on cell type
Transmembrane Potential
 Determined mainly by the unequal distribution of
Na+ & K+
 The cell's interior has a greater concent. of K+
and the outside has a greater concent. of Na+
 At rest the plasma membrane is relatively
impermeable to Na+ and freely permeable to K+
Transmembrane Potential
The cell has 2 types of channels:
1.) Passive (leaky)
2.) Gated
RMP animation (NS I: membrane potential page 12/16)
Transmembrane Potential
 More K + diffuses out
of the cell than Na +
diffuses into the cell
 Results in a loss of +
charges from the cell
= negative RMP
Cell is polarized.
Transmembrane Potential
If too much K+ left the cell it
would become too
negative = hyperpolarize.
If Na + was allowed to
accumulate inside the cell
it would become less
negative (more positive)
or depolarize.
Entrance of Na + into the cell
would change the tonicity
of the cell.
Transmembrane Potential
The Na + -K +
pump functions to
maintain the
osmotic balance
& membrane
voltage
Transmembrane Potential
When stimulus
applied:
Gated Na+
channels open =
depolarization
Gated K+
channels open so
K+ leaves =
repolarization
