Q

Principle of complementarity

A

Anatomy and physiology are inseparable
Function reflects structure
What a structure does depends on its specific form

16
Q

Digestive system

A

Breaks down absorbable units that enter blood for distribution to body cells. Indigestible eliminated as feces.
Rectum, anus, stomach, small/large intestine, esophagus, oral cavity, liver

17
Q

Urinary system

A

eliminates nitrogenous waste from body. regulate water, electrolyte, and acid base balance of blood.
kidney, urinary bladder, urethra

18
Q

Male reproductive system

A

production of offspring. testis produce sperm, male sex hormone, made ducts and glands to aid sperm to female tract
prostate gland, penis, testis, ductus deferens

19
Q

Female reproductive system

A

ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones. sites for fertilization and development of fetus. mammary glands for breast milk development
mammary glands, ovary, uterine tube, uterus, vagina

20
Q

What are the 8 basic life functions?

A
  1. Maintain boundaries
  2. Movement
  3. Responsiveness
  4. Digestion
  5. Metabolism
  6. Excretion
  7. Reproduction
  8. Growth
21
Q

What are the 5 survival needs?

A
  1. Nutrients
  2. Oxygen
  3. Water
  4. Normal body temp
  5. Stable atmospheric pressure
22
Q

Homeostasis and homeostatic regulation

A

Stable internal environment
regulation of physiological systems to preserve homeostasis

23
Q

Negative feedback and examples

A

PRIMARY mechanisms of homeostatic regulation
Long term control over body’s internal systems
Receptor stimulation triggers response that changes environment at the receptor
Control center activated effector that’s NEGATES original stimulus

Ex: Body temperature and blood volume

24
Q

Positive feedback

A

Accelerates a process to completion
Initial stimulus produces a response that enhances change in original
Under dangerous situations that need to be completed quickly

Ex: labor contractions by oxytocin
platelet plug formation and blood clotting

25
Q

Vasodilation

A

WIDENING of blood vessels
vessels DILATE and warm blood flows closer to SURFACE and LOSES heat
Sweating happens if it isn’t enough and evaporation of water from the skin has COOLING effect

26
Q

Vasoconstriction

A

NARROWING of blood vessels which will RETAIN warm blood deeper in body to reduce heat loss.
Shivering happens if it isn’t enough so the muscle tremors generate heat

27
Q

Blood clotting

A

POS FEEDBACK
1. Break/tear occurs in blood vessel wall and positive feedback initiated
2. platelets adhere to site and release chemicals
3. Released chemicals attract more platelets
4. Feedback cycle ends when platelet plug forms

28
Q

Name for above and below

A

Superior and inferior

29
Q

Name for front and back

A

Ventral and dorsal

30
Q

Toward front and back

A

Anterior and posterior

31
Q

Close and far from point of origin

A

Proximal and distal

32
Q

What is in the axial positions

A

Head, neck, trunk

33
Q

What is in appendicular position

34
Q

What plane goes right to left

A

Frontal plane

35
Q

What plane goes up and down

A

Horizontal transverse plane

36
Q

What plane goes front to back (vertical)

A

Sagittal plane or median plane

37
Q

What is in the dorsal cavity

A

Cranial and Vertebral

38
Q

What is in the ventral cavity

A

Thoracic and abdominopelvic

39
Q

What is serous membrane (serosa)

A

Double layered
Parietal: lines body cavity walls
Visceral: covers organs in cavity
Serous fluid; secreted by both membranes
- provides lubrication
- reduces friction
