Introduction to viruses

? Viruses Virus - an infectious agent made up of a core of nucleic acid and a protein coat. viruses are not cells, they are non-living does not have a nucleus, a membrane, or cellular organelles. do have organized structural parts All viruses have at least 2 parts: core of nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) capsid - protective protein coat around the core of nucleic acid. The capsid protects the nucleic acid core from its environment. Additional parts may include: an envelope is an additional protective coating usually made of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. spiked projections that bind to the membrane of the cell being infected. **envelopes are only found in viruses that infect animal cells (i.e. flu virus).

Layered Learning Menu ? Safety & Nature of Science Name: _____________________________________________ Layered Learning gives you choices as a learner where you can choose and identify activities that are best suited for your learning style. We begin with layer C. You will then progress to layer B and then to layer A. During the course of the layers, there will be exit tickets and an oral defense [think of this as an oral quiz] to explain your learning. This menu outlines the options available for you as a learner ? the symbol key below explains the menu items.

Amphiarthrosis

Movement of bones occurs at joints or articulations Articulations- joints where bones meet Structural classification -- Functional classification Fibrous- no synovial cavity, bones held tightly together by fibrous connective tissue Synarthrosis- immovable joint/ no movement -- examples: sutures, teeth and maxilla/mandible Cartilaginous- no synovial cavity, bones held together by cartilage or ligament. Amphiarthrosis- slightly movable joint -- ex: pubic symphysis Synovial- synovial cavity, bones held together by ligaments. Diarthrosis- freely movable joint - angular movement allowed Most bones of synovial joints are covered by a fibrocartilage pad called articular discs (menisci) Diarthrosis- are divided into subtypes of joints: Gliding/plane joint hinge joint pivot joint

Skeleton

Skeletal organization skeleton is divided into the axial and appendicular portions Axial skeleton- skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, and thoracic cage Appendicular skeleton- pectoral girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle, and lower limbs. Bone Classification-adult skeleton contains 206 bones Long Bones- long and slender- found in arm, forearm, thigh, leg palms,soles, fingers, toes Short bone- boxlike-found in wrists and ankles sesamoid bones- special class of short bones, usually embedded in tendons and small except the patella(larger) Flat bones- thin, parallel surfaces, found inroof of skull, sternum, ribs, and scapula Irregular bones- complex shapes, with flat, notched or ridged surfaces. Include vertebrae, facial skull bones and hip bones

Functions of Epithelial Tissue protection absorption filtration excretion secretion Characteristics Cellularity---- composed almost entirely of cells

Integument- refers to your skin; means covering --integument is the largest organ of the human body--Components- cutaneous membrane (skin), hair, nails, and exocrine glands (sebaceous and sudoriferous) Function of the Integumentary System: Protection- water loss, heat loss, bacterial invasion, chemicals Excretion- waste removed; excess salt, water, and urea Body temperature regulation- sweating and blood vessel dialation and constriction Cutaneous Sensation- respond to outside stimuli Vitamin D Synthesis- cholesterol molecules are converted into vit. D when exposed to UV rays Blood Reservoir-- holds large volume of blood Two major regions of integument: Epidermis and Dermis
