Chapter 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| structural anatomy | study of body structures(studies the structures of body parts and there relationships to one another..to cut apart) |
| physiology | applications of structures function usually divided by systems..concerns the function of the body, in other words how the body parts work and carry out their life-sustaining activities. |
| gross | seen by your eye (regional, systemic and surface-pulpate) |
| microscopic | can't be seen by your eye |
| cytology | one cell screws up it equals cancer |
| histology | study of tissues |
| developmental | traces structural changes that occur in the body throughout the life span |
| embryology | before birth, fix things like birth defects |
| levels of oranization | how are you made up (chemical, cellular, tissues, organ, organ system, organismal) |
| chemical | Na+1k+pump (sodium potasium) |
| cellular | smallest living things (cell) |
| Ca | calcium |
| tissues | groups of similar cells with common functions (epithelium, muscle, connective, nervous) |
| epithelium | covering |
| muscle | smooth (involuntary, straiated (your choose) cardiatic (these contract for a reason, some you control some you can't control) |
| connective | connects two things |
| nervous | communication system |
| organ | comprised of at least two tissues (usually 4) that performs a specific function |
| organ system | organs working together for a common purpose |
| organismal | all organ systems working together to promote life |
| skin | is the largest living organism in your body |
| renal physiology | concerns kidney function and urine production |
| neurophysiology | explains the workings of the nervous system |
| cardiovascular physiology | examines the operation of the heart and blood vessels |
| functional characteristics necessary to maintain life in humans | digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary and integumentary systems |
| survival needs | nutrients, oxygen, water, temperature, atmospheric pressure |
| barametric pressure | increases the fluid amount in your body. Goes up causing some people to complain about joint pain. |
| necessities of life | boundries, movement, responsiveness, digestion, excretion, reproduction, growth and metabolism. |
| catabolism | breaks down things |
| anabolism | builds up |
| cellular respiration | this happens from catabolism and anabolism from your cells. Gives you fuel. (ATP) |
| homeostasis | maintains relatively stable internal conditions even though the outside world is unstable |
| negative feedback | change in opposite direction of stimulus (80%) |
| positive feedback | change in same direction of stimulus. you give and you get back. |
