Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology notes

A large part of beginning the study of anatomy and physiology is learning the specialised words that are used. This new terminology may seem daunting but the challenge lies in its unfamiliarity rather than its difficulty of comprehension. You must expect to encounter a lot of new words and be prepared to learn them over the course of your study. Many of the words contain information as the words are constructed with a prefix and a suffix or a stem that identifies the word as referring to a speci...

Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Elaine N. Marieb, Suzanne M. Keller Tenth Edition Test Bank.

This chapter covers cells and tissues. The basic unit of life is the cell, which consists of a nucleus containing DNA, a plasma membrane that encloses the cell, and cytoplasm including organelles that perform specific functions. The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. It regulates what enters and exits the cell using passive and active transport. Passive transport moves substances down a concentration gradient and requires no energy. Active tra...
