BIOL 2203: Human Physiology & Anatomy I

Unravel the intricate relationship between histones and DNA. Learn how histones maintain DNA structure within the cell nucleus and understand the significance of charge attractions in DNA-histone binding.

Explore the characteristics that distinguish normal cells from cancer cells in this informative video. Learn how normal cells perform specialized functions for overall health, while cancer cells grow uncontrollably. Discover why cancer cells lack differentiation, ignore reproduction control signals, and their connection to the absence of radical scavengers, all leading to their uncontrolled proliferation.

Discover which metabolic pathway is the heavyweight champion of ATP production. We'll evaluate contenders like lactic acid fermentation, the Krebs cycle, and more to determine the top ATP generator.

Explore the foundational processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Uncover the key roles of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Differentiate between the efficiencies and electron acceptors of both respiration types.

Explore the influence of atmospheric pressure in our body's functions, particularly its essential role in pulmonary ventilation or the breathing process.

Explore the composition of the diaphysis in long bones. Learn about the significance of compact bone in providing strength and differentiating it from other bone components.
