41
Q

Physiology

A

Functions of the Body

42
Q

Maintenance of Life

A

Water
Food
Oxygen
Heat
Pressure

43
Q

Metabolism

A

Events that obtain/release/use energy
ex: digestive system

44
Q

Homeostasis

A

Any self-regulating process that maintains optimal conditions for survival.
Most homeostatic mechanisms operate in a NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP
Short-lived or Specific functions like childbirth, are exceptions, making them POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOPS

44
Q

Integumentary System

A

(skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, etc)
Protects underlying systems like our internal organs and helps regulate body temperature, senses changes, and synthesizes certain products.

45
Q

3 Components of Homeostasis

A

Receptors
Set Point
Effectors

46
Q

Skeletal System

A

(bones, ligaments, cartilage, tissues in bones)
Supports/protects/provides framework, stores inorganic salts, and houses blood-forming tissue

47
Q

Muscular System

A

(Muscles, and some internal organs)
Provides body movement, posture, and body heat.

48
Q

Nervous System

A

(Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs)
Integrates incoming information from receptors and sends impulses to muscles and glands

49
Q

Endocrine System

A

(All glands that secrete hormones)
Helps integrate metabolic functions

50
Q

Cardiovascular System

A

(Heart, veins, arteries, blood, capillaries)
distributes oxygen, nutrients, and hormones through the body and removes waste from cells.

51
Q

Lymphatic System

A

(Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen)
Drains excess fluid and includes cells of immunity such as T-cells and Lymphocytes.

52
Q

Digestive System

A

(mouth, tongue, teeth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large intestines)
Receives, breaks down, and absorbs nutrients

53
Q

Respiratory System

A

(Nasal Cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs)
Exchanges O2 & CO2 between blood and air

54
Q

Urinary System

A

(Kidneys, uterus, urinary bladder, urethra)
Removes waste from blood and helps maintain water & electrolyte balance

55
Q

Reproductive System (Male)

A

(Scrotum, testes, epididymides, ductus, deferentia, seminal, vesticals, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, penis, urethra)
Produces new organisms

56
Q

Reproductive System (Female)

A

(Ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, clitorus, vulva)
Produces new organisms

57
Q

Axial

A

Head, Neck, Trunk

58
Q

Appendicular

A
