Chapter one Flashcards
Define physiology. Describe the relationships between physiology and anatomy
how life process actually work, chemical andphysical properties.
How anatomy work
name the different levels of the orginizations in the biospheres
name the 10 systems of the body and give their major function
1- urinary; gets rid of the waste
2-reproductive;
3-respirtory;
4-digestive;
5-nervous;brain
6-circulatory; blood
7-endocrine; hormones
8-immun;
9- integemantory
10- skeletal;
what does “physiology in an intergrative science” mean
you building off of multiple subjects to explain one concept
define homeostasis. Name some regulated variables that are maintained though homeostasis
Homeostatsis- balance of body process to maintain normal functions
Blood sugar- insulin vs sugar
name 4 major themes in physiology
strucutre and functions
Living organisms
Information systems

put the following parts of the reflex in the correct order for a physiological responds loop: input signal, integrating center, output signal, response, sensor stimulus, and target
stimulis
Sensor
Input signal
Integrating center
Output signal
Target
Responds
Back to stimulis

Biorhythims
name as many organs Or body structures that connect directly with the external environment as you can
Kidney
Liver

Which organ systems are responsible for the coordination of body functions? For protecting the body from outside invaders? Which systems exchange material with the external environment, and what do they exchange?
Endocrine and nervous system
Integumantary, immune, digestive circulatory
Intergumantay, respitory, urinary, digestive
Exaplin the difference among positive feedback, negative feedback, and feedfoward mechanisms. Under what circustances would each be edvantageous
