Answer 4

Chemical 
cellular 
tissue 
organ 
system 
organism

Question 5

What happens in the organism level

Answer 5

Proper function of the organism is dependent upon the function of individual systems

Question 6

What happens in the system level

Answer 6

Collection of organs that work together to perform various tasks

Question 7

What happens in the organ level

Answer 7

Two or more types of tissues working together to perform various tasks

Question 8

Question 11

What is an Atom

Answer 11

Smallest building blocks

Oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen

Question 12

Atoms combined to form _________

Answer 12

Molecules

Some examples are carbohydrates, fat, proteins, nucleic acids

Question 13

What are molecules

Answer 13

The raw ingredients that are used to form a cell and allow it to function

Question 14

What is the difference between parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system?
When does heart rate increase or decrease?

Answer 14

Parasympathetic is at rest in sympathetic is during activity

Heart rate increases during sympathetic nervous system and decreases during parasympathetic nervous system

Question 15

What is an example of functions that each system controls

Answer 15

CVS delivery of blood to cells throughout the body

Question 16

What is example of how functions are initiated and controlled

Answer 16

Specialized cells in the heart initiate contraction of the heart

Question 17

What is it example of integration of the different organs within a system to carry out a specific function

Answer 17

Contraction of the heart influences blood vessels and blood vessels influence contraction of the heart

Question 18

What is integrative physiology

Answer 18

Function for each system controls
How functions are initiated and controlled
Integration of different organs within the system to carry out a specific function
Integration of one or more physiological systems

Question 19

Cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together to deliver __________and eliminate __________?

Answer 19

oxygen; carbon dioxide

Question 20

The heart is ______ dependent on the nervous system but it is influenced and integrated in the physiological system

Answer 20

Not

Question 21

The nervous system in musculoskeletal system work together to produce _______?

Answer 21

Movement

Question 22

Skeletal muscle contraction is dependent on _________?

Answer 22

Nervous system

Question 23

What is integration of physiological systems

Answer 23

Optimal function of the organism is dependent on the integration of ALL physiological systems

Question 24

What is the importance of integrative physiology

Answer 24

• If you know how the normal bodily functions are initiated in control and how physiological systems interact with each other you will have insight into the origin of the disease/problem
• with such knowledge you will be in better position to develop/prescribed affective treatments in interventions (example drugs and rehabilitation) as well as understand the implications that such approaches have in restoring normal function

Question 25

What is a disease

Answer 25

A disorder of structure or function of the human body produces specific signs or symptoms

Question 26

As a PT what level of organization of the human body do you feel you must master to be successful

Answer 26

Restore structure and then function apply some modality in order to restore improve the chemical and cellular levels of the body

Question 27

What is human physiology?

Answer 27

A biological function of the human body
Determines how functions are initiated and controlled
Inseparable from anatomy
