Week 1 Patho

Front

What is aerobic glycolysis?

Back

Breakdown of glucose to make energy using oxygen; produces ATP efficiently.

Front

What is anaerobic glycolysis?

Back

Energy production without oxygen; produces less ATP and lactic acid.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

ATP production in mitochondria using oxygen and the electron transport chain.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

The main energy source of the cell; fuels all cellular activities.

Front

What are electrolytes?

Back

Charged minerals (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺) that control fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle contraction.

Front

What is oncotic pressure?

Back

Pulling force created by plasma proteins that keeps fluid inside blood vessels.

Front

What is hydrostatic pressure?

Back

Pushing force of fluid against vessel walls that moves fluid out of capillaries.

Front

What are membrane transporter proteins?

Back

Proteins that help move substances across the cell membrane.

Front

What is coagulative necrosis?

Back

Cell death where tissue structure remains intact; common in heart infarction.

Front

What is liquefactive necrosis?

Back

Cell death where tissue becomes liquid; common in brain injury.
