Q

endocrine system consists of

A

ductless glands

19
Q

endocrine system functions

A

serves to slowly regulate various body functions, secretes regulatory hormones; growth, reproduction, and metabolism

20
Q

respiratory system consists of

A

upper respiratory tract, nasal cavity, phanyx, trachea, bronchos, and lungs

21
Q

respiratory system functions

A

to conduct airflow and allows for exchange for gas; keep blood supplied with oxygen, removes carbon dioxide

22
Q

digestive system consists of

A

mouth, phanyx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine

23
Q

digestive system functions

A

breaks down food, allows nutrients absorption into blood, eliminates indigestible material as feces

24
Q

urinary system consists of

A

kidneys, urtertur, bladder and urethra

25
Q

urinary system functions

A

removal of wastes, kidneys place a huge role of what is waste and what isn’t, maintains acid-base balance, regulates water and electrolytes

26
Q

reproductive systems consists of

A

gonads; testes and ovaries. and ducts to the outside

27
Q

reproductive functions

A

reproduction of a like organism. testes; sperm and male hormone. Ovaries; eggs and female hormones

28
Q

life depend on these certain factors from the environment

A

water, oxygen, nutrients, body temperature, and atmospheric pressure

29
Q

abilities of the human organism

A

homeostasis

30
Q

homeostasis

A

maintaining balance; every organ contributes

31
Q

homeostatic controls (involves nervous system)

A

3 components; receptors, control center & effector

32
Q

receptors of homeostasis

A

monitor and response to changes (stimuli). send data along adifferent pathway

33
Q

control center of homeostasis

A

determines set point and uses information to determine action to achieve homeostasis

34
Q

effector of homeostasis

A

control centers responses, sends response edifferent pathway

35
Q

negative feedback

A

most common, effects; shuts off or try to get back to homeostasis

36
Q

positive feedback

A

rare, increase the original disturbance and to push further, typically seen with infrequent events; child birth

37
Q

Anatomy

A

the study of structure and shape of the body and its parts and their relationship to one another

front & back

40
Q

superior vs inferior

A

above and below

41
Q

medial vs lateral

A

middle and outside

42
Q

proximal vs distal

A

closer to attachment to site & further away from attachment point

43
