Q

ex/funct of lymphatic system

A

lymphatic vessels, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils (b-cells, T-cells): return protien/fluid to blood, carry lipids from GI tract to blood, contain site for maturation and proliferation of B/T cells (WBC)

Q

ex/funct of resp system

A

Lungs, upper airways, nares, mouth, trachea, carina: regulate acid/base balance via respiration, get rid of waste via respiration and take in oxygen via diffusion into the blood.

Q

Basic Life Process

A
  1. metabolism: catabolism, anabolism
  2. responsiveness: detect/respond to change
  3. movement
  4. growth: hypertrophy, cell multiply
  5. differentiation: form specialized, un-specialized cells
  6. reproduction: form new cells for tissue growth, repair, replace. production of new individual.

16
Q

homeostasis definition

A

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

17
Q

Negative feedback system**

A

reverses a change in a controlled condition that remain stable for long period of time.

18
Q

define catabolism

A

, the breakdown of complex chemical substances into simpler components. ex. digestive processes

19
Q

define anabolsim

A

the build- ing up of complex chemical substances from smaller, simpler components. ex. These amino acids are then used to anabolize (build) new proteins that make up body struc- tures such as muscles and bones

20
Q

Positive Feedback System

A

tends to strengthen or reinforce a change in one of the body’s controlled conditions. The con- trol center still provides commands to an effector, but this time the effector produces a physiological response that adds to or re- inforces the initial change in the controlled condition. The action of a positive feedback system continues until it is interrupted by some mechanism.

21
Q

disorder vs. disease

A

abnormality of a structure or function/ specific term for an illness with recognizable set of signs and symptoms.

22
Q

epidemiology

A

why, when and where disease occur
