exam 1 lecture 1 + 2 Flashcards
___ is the study of normal function
physiology
what are some necessary functions for life?
reproduction
metabolism/waste removal
movement
growth
detect and respond to changes in the environment
boundaries (cell membranes)
what factors are necessary for survival
normal body temperature
water
normal atmospheric pressure
nutrients
what are some basic concepts that are shared throughout the organization of the body
diffusion
cell communication/ signaling
enzymatic principles
homeostasis
energy requirements are similar
example of an organ that works for several organ system
liver
heart
kidney
endocrine
ect.
where is external environment found in the body?
GI tract
lungs
urinary and reproductive tracts
body fluids are compartmentalized by barriers which are ___
selectively permeable
another name for extracellular fluid
milieu interieur
what makes up the extracellular fluid
plasma and interstitial fluid
what % of body weight is water?
60
total body water can be broken into what two things?
intracellular fluid
extracellular fluid
____ is subdivided into plasma and interstitial fluid
extracellular fluid
intracellular or extracellular has more fluids?
intracellular (⅔)
extracellular (⅓)
some function of plasma membrane between ICF and ECF
obtain O2 and nutrients
getting rid of waste products
why is there a change in concentration of solutes from ICF to ECF
creates concentration gradient= potential energy
example of nonpolar molecules that are easily transported across the plasma membrane
gases (O2 and CO2 )and fatty acids
examples of ions and polar molecules that are not easily transported across the plasma membrane
glucose
proteins
Na+
how do substances move across the plasma membrane
active transport (requires energy)
channels
diffusion
___ is a state of reasonably stable balance between physiological variables of the internal environment
homeostasis
what organ system does not serve a primary purpose of maintaining homeostasis?
reproductive
goal of homeostasis is to keep parameters at the ___ in ever changing conditions
set point
how does homeostasis work?
what is a set point
ideal range
can change depending on what is happening in the body
___ is a detected change results in a response in the opposite direction of the original change
negative feedback
___ is a detected change results in a response in the same direction
positive feedback
blood glucose level is an example of which feedback?
negative
drop in glucose causes increase in glucose
high glucose leads to storage of glucose
parturition is an example of what type of feedback?
positive
how does parturition trigger positive feedback
stretch→ oxytocin → more stretch → more oxytocin ect.
explain feed forward regulation of homeostasis
anticipates change in regulated variables
aims to allow for a faster response to challenge and a quicker return to homeostasis
Pavlov Dog
torpor is an example of changing/resetting the ___
set point
multiple systems usually control a single parameter
-fail safe in the event that one regulatory system is not functioning
aestivation
hibernation when it is too hot
three types of muscle
skeletal
smooth
cardiac
