NR 283 Pathophysiology Exam 1 Concepts to Review BEST STUDY GUIDE FOR PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1 Cellular Biology/Cellular Adaptation/Cellular Injury Chapter 1 and 3 8 functions of cells oMovement - muscle cells generate force to produce motion oConductivity - As a response to a stimulus. This is the chief function of nerve cells oMetabolic Absorption - take in and use nutrients oSecretion - with mucous gland cells - absorb substances to be secreted elsewhere oExcretion - Rid themselves of waste products oRespiration - Absorb oxygen to transform nutrients to energy oReproduction - New cells produced to replace those lost oCommunication - vital for cells to survive as a society (think Osmosis Jones movie) ATP ATP or adenosine triphosphate plays a major role in that ATP is a molecule that stores and transfers energy for the functioning of our cells Specifically it is used in the synthesis (creation) of molecules, muscle contractions, and active transportMitochondria the main job of the mitochondria is that it produces most of the cells ATP or energy. Cellular metabolism There are 2 parts to metabolism: Anabolism The energy using process Catabolism The energy releasing process Ribosomes Ways of cellular communication Cellular respiration Anaerobic and aerobic Sodium/Potassium pump-function,
