Q

-consists of related organs with a common function​
Ex. Digestive system: breaks down and absorbs food. Its organs include mouth, salivary gland, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.

A

Organ system

18
Q

-organ systems make up an organism. ​
Organism is any living thing considered as a whole such as a human.​
Organ System: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine,cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive.

A

Organism Level

19
Q
  • Provides protection, regulates temperature, prevents water loss, and helps produce vitamin D. ​
    Consists of skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands.
A

Integumentary System

20
Q
  • Provides protection and support, allows body movements, produces blood cells, and store minerals and adipose tissue. ​
    Consists of bones, associated cartilages, ligaments, and joints minerals and fats.
A

Skeletal System

21
Q

composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.

A

Muscular system

22
Q
  • Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and air and regulates blood pH. ​
  • Consists of the lungs and​ respiratory passages.
A

Respiratory System

23
Q
  • Performs the mechanical and chemical processes of digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of wastes. ​
    Consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and accessory organs.
A

Digestive System

24
Q
  • A major regulatory system that detects sensations and controls movements, physiological processes, and intellectual functions.​
    Consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors.
A

Nervous System

25
Q
  • A major regulatory system that influences metabolism, growth, reproduction, and many​
    other functions. ​
    Consists of glands, such as the pituitary, that secrete hormones.
A

Endocrine System

26
Q
  • Transports nutrients, waste products, gases,​
    and hormones throughout the body; plays a role in the immune response and the regulation of body temperature.​
    Consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood
A

Cardiovascular System

27
Q
  • Removes waste products from the blood and regulates blood pH, ion balance, and water balance. ​
    Consists of the kidneys, urinary bladder, and ducts that carry urine.
A

Urinary System

28
Q
  • Produces and transfers sperm cells to the female and produces hormones that influence sexual functions and behaviors.​
    Consists of the testes, accessory structures, ducts, and penis.
A

Male Reproductive System

29
Q
  • Produces oocytes and is the site of fertilization and fetal development; produces milk for the newborn; produces hormones that influence sexual function and behaviors. ​
    Consists of the ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, mammary glands, and associated structures.
A

Female Reproductive System

Q

and dissection of its internal organs to confirm or determine the cause of death. It can uncover the existence of diseases not detected during life, determine the extent of injuries, and explain how those injuries may have contributed to a person’s death. Moreover, the autopsy can reveal conditions that may affect offspring such congenital heart defects).​

A

Autopsy

31
Q

-is the condition of equilibrium (balance) in the body’s internal environment due to the constant interaction of the body’s regulatory processes.

A

Homeostasis

32
Q

If homeostatic imbalance is moderate?

A

a disorder or disease may occur.​

33
Q

is any abnormality of structure and function.​

A

Disorder

34
Q

is a more specific term for the illness characterized by a recognizable signs and symptoms. ​

A

Disease

35
Q

is the science that deals with why, when, and where diseases occur and how they are transmitted in a community.

A

Epidemiology

36
Q
  • Homeostasis in the human body is continually disturbed. (Homeostatic Imbalance)​
    Disruption comes from the?
A
  1. External environment​
  2. Originate in Internal environment​
  3. Psychological stresses in social environment​
37
Q

is a cycle of events in which the status of a body condition is monitored, evaluated, changed, remonitored, reevaluated and so on.​
* Each monitored variable such as body temperature, blood pressure, or blood glucose is termed as controlled condition.​

A

Feedback system/loop
