Crenation is the process where a cell shrinks, this occurs when a cell is placed in a _______ solution.
hypertonic
Hypertonic Solution A hypertonic solution is characterized by having a higher osmotic pressure, meaning it has a greater concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to the inside of the cell
transports two solute molecules in the same direction.
symporter
transports two solute molecules in opposite directions.
antiporter
A major lipid, important for storing energy in the body
triglycerides
A major lipid, important in cell structure, is formed from two fatty acids, glycerol and a phosphate group.
phospholipid
A major lipid, characterized by having four rings of carbon atoms.
Examples: cholesterol, cortisol, testosterone, vitamin D
steroid
what increases the rate of diffusion
Steepness of the concentration gradient
Temperature: A higher temperature leads to a faster rate of diffusion
Surface area: The larger the membrane surface area available for diffusion, the faster the diffusion rate.
These membranes line cavities and tubes that do open to the outside of the body. They secrete mucus, which traps particles and helps protect the underlying tissues. They line cavities and tubes that open to the outside.
Mucous membranes
These membranes line body cavities that do not open to the outside. They consist of visceral and parietal layers. The epithelial layer of serous membranes is formed by mesothelium. They line body cavities that do not open to the outside. They are also found in the air sacs of the lungs and lining blood vessels.
Serous membranes
This membrane is commonly known as the skin. The skin is made up of stratified squamous epithelium, which can be keratinized and is ideal for protection against friction. It is the skin.
Cutaneous membrane
These membranes line joint cavities. A key characteristic of synovial membranes is that they do not contain **epithelium. They line joint cavities.
Synovial membranes
Why is extracellular fluid called the internal environment of the body?
Proper functions of body cells depend upon the precise regulation of the fluid surrounding them.
Body cavity that contains the pleural and pericardial cavities, and the mediastinum.
Thoracic Cavity
Mediastinum: the central portion of the thoracic cavity located between the lungs. It extends from the sternum to the vertebral column and from the first rib to the diaphragm. It contains the heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea, and several large blood vessels.
Membrane lining the thoracic cavity
serous membranes: a double-layered, slippery membrane associated with cavities that do not open directly to the exterior.
Retroperitoneal Organs
Retroperitoneal = behind the peritoneum

* Aorta/Inferior Vena Cava
* Duodenum (1st part of the small intestine)
* Pancreas
* Ureters
* Colon (ascending and descending parts of the large intestine)
* Kidneys
* Esophagus
* Rectum
thick basement membrane, closer to epithelial cells (secreted by epithelial cells, contains several proteins that keep epithelial cells attached)
Basal lamina
basement membrane close to the underlying connective tissue (helps anchor the basement membrane to connective tissue, restricts the passage of large molecules between epithelium and connective tissue).
Reticular lamina
