carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, calcium

Question 17

Cellular Level

Answer 17

basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms

Question 18

Differentiated cells

Answer 18

cells change during embryonic development and become specialized for certain functions

Question 19

Tissue Level

Answer 19

Groups of cells that have a common origin, appearance, and function

Question 20

Answer 20

Epithelial
Muscle
Connective
Nervous

Epithelial tissue

Answer 21

covers and protects surfaces

Question 22

Muscle tissue

Answer 22

allows movement

Question 23

Connective tissue

Answer 23

joins parts together and provides support

Question 24

Nervous tissue

Answer 24

responds to environmental stimuli and coordinates bodily activity

Question 25

Organ level

Answer 25

structures composed of two or more different types of tissues, have specific functions, and have recognizable shapes

Question 26

Organ System level

Answer 26

Consists of multiple organs that have a common function

Question 27

10 Life Processes of Humans

Answer 27

Movement
Responsiveness (response to stimuli inside or outside)
Growth and Development
Reproduction (new organisms and new cells)
Respiration (use of oxygen for obtaining from food)
Digestion
Absorption (passage of substances thru membranes into body fluids)
Circulation
Assimilation (changing of substances into chemically different forms)
Excretion (waste removal)

Question 28

Metabolism

Answer 28

The majority of the functions from the life processes combined

Question 29

Homeostasis

Answer 29

the condition in which the body’s internal environment remains constant within set limits

Question 30

Extracellular Fluid (ECF)

Answer 30

fluid that surrounds cells

Question 31

Homeostatic Imbalances

Answer 31

disruptions in homeostasis that could end in illness or death

Question 32

3 main components of Homeostatic Mechanisms

Answer 32

Receptors
Control Center
Effectors

Question 33

Receptors

Answer 33

provide info from the internal environment

Question 34

Control Center

Answer 34

decides what the response should be (the Brain)

Question 35

Effectors

Answer 35

Carry out response internally to alter conditions (glands & muscles)

Question 36

Feedback System

Answer 36

acts that the body MUST perform to maintain normal anatomical and physiological conditions

Question 37

Negative Feedback

Answer 37

as the conditions are returned back to their set point, action of the effectors is reduced (Body Temp (shivering/sweating) and Blood Pressure)

Question 38

Positive Feedback

Answer 38

Process that moves conditions farther away from the set point (to ultimately get back to set point)
uterine contractions
blood clotting
