Chapter 1: Major Themes of Anatomy & Physiology Flashcards
cut and separate tissues to see how they are related
dissection (means “cut apart”)
body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment regardless of fluctuating external factors or influences
homeostasis
an observation that can be independently observed and tested
fact
inductive method (reasoning) VS. hypothetico-deductive method (reasoning)
- study more in depth if needed
Inductive - make numerous observations until generalizations can be made; the reasoning behind it is to make an inference based on specific observations
Hypo - problem solving approach, asking questions and form a hypothesis; “if-then” deduction is the reasoning and hypothesis must be falsifiable
change in genetic composition or gene expression over time
evolution
What are the levels of organization of life (from simplest to most complex?)
- be able to define each
atoms - elements (molecules) - macromolecules - organelles - cells - tissues - organs - organ systems - organisms - population - biome - ecosystem
four types of tissues
- be able to define each
Connective
Epithelial
Muscle
Nervous
Explain peer review
- study more in depth if needed
A paper must be reviewed to ensure proper methods and accuracy
Ways to examine a living body
- be able to define each
Naked eye
Palpation
Auscultation
Percussion
What are the needs of an organism?
- be able to define each
Water Food Oxygen Heat Pressure
chemical and mechanical breakdown of food into monomers
digestion
the body fluctuates around dynamic equilibrium using ________ _____
feedback loops
product of chemical reactions, regulated by body’s temperature
heat
detect changes in air and fluid compartments by tapping surface
percussion
Explain the unity of form and function
A&P are the result of each other.
Shape predicts how an organ will perform a function
Physiological function predict the form it must take
what has been replaced by medical imaging?
exploratory surgery
what in an experimental design is used to able to compare results to known negative
control group
______ ____ theory and the theory of _______ _________ help us understand the human body
modern cell theory
theory of natural selection
are cells alive?
yes
self-regulating slow down and shut off system; self corrective
negative feedback
the level at which a changing physiological state tends to stabilize
set point
ex: body temperature, pH, heart rate
What are the types of death?
- be able to define each
clinical
biological
legal death
the study of structure from gross to microscopic levels
anatomy
what are several important considerations required to design an experiment
- be able to define each
sample size control group psychosomatic effects experimenter bias statistical testing
