Question 7

What is the entire purpose of physiology?

Answer 7

To take action to keep body processes functioning

Question 8

Miliue interniue

Answer 8

Internal environment

Question 9

Father of physiology

Answer 9

Claude Bernard

Question 10

American physiologist who coined the term “homeostasis”

Answer 10

Cannon

Question 11

Homeostasis is a dynamic condition. What does this mean?

Answer 11

It is constantly changing and adjusting over time. No one set point is always constant.

Question 12

Allostasis

Answer 12

Relates with the mechanisms dealing with change - focuses more on changing set points rather than getting to the set points themselves

Question 13

Feedback systems

Answer 13

Cycle of events on which status of body is monitored, evaluated and changed

Question 14

Three components of a feedback mechanism

Answer 14

1. Receptor (input)
2. Control center (integration)
3. Effector (output)

Question 15

Control Center

Answer 15

Obtains and evaluates data

Question 16

Effector

Answer 16

Body structures that respond to enact change, or change to parameter. ENACTS FEEDBACK LOOP.

Question 17

Disorder

Answer 17

Moderate homeostatic imbalance

Question 18

Disease

Answer 18

More specific than disorder with a specific set of symptoms

Question 19

Symptoms

Answer 19

Subjective, not visible to observers

Question 20

Signs

Answer 20

Clinical measures

Question 21

Ex of symptom

Answer 21

Pain (must ask how much something hurts)

Question 22

Ex of sign

Answer 22

Question 23

3 types of ECF

Answer 23

1. Interstitial fluid
2. Plasma
3. Minor categories

Question 24

2 types of minor categories

Answer 24

1. Transcellular fluid (eyeball fluid, etc.)

2. Lymph

Question 25

Urine and intestinal fluids are not accounted for in terms of volume. Why is this?

Answer 25

They are part of an open system, and therefore not considered a part of the body.

Answer 29

Interstitial fluid

Question 30

20% of ECF is _____

Answer 30

Plasma

Question 31

Dry weight procedure

Answer 31

Kill specimen, weigh it, burn (dehydrate) it, then weigh again to calculate new mass

Question 32

Dilution procedure

Answer 32

Inject known fluid into specimen, allow to settle to equilibrium, then remeasure the concentration to determine volume
