Final exam Flashcards
How is anatomy different from physiology?
Why do some schools study them together and some separate?
How do we study anatomy? physiology?
- *Anatomy** is study of bodies structure (looking at it, describing it)
- *Physiology** is study of bodies process of function (how does it function, grow, repair, etc)
Some schools study them separately but its important to know how structure relates to function
We can study anatomy by looking at structure, microscopes, xrays, etc. We can study physiology by observation, expieriments, measurement, etc
What are the different branches of the fields of study of anatomy and physiology?
- *Anatomy**
- Developmental (structural changes from concept to adult)
- Embryology (structural changes from concept to 8wks)
- Cytology (structural featurs of cells)
- Histology (Tissues)
- Gross anatomy (Structures visualized w/o microscope)
- *Physiology**
- Cell physiology (how cells function)
- Systemic physiology (whole organ system & processes)
- Neurophysiology (nervous system)
- Cardiovascular physiology (heart & blood vessels)
- Pathology (study of disease)
- Exercise physioloy (changes during excersice)
What are the levels of organization of the human body?
- Chemical level (atoms form molecules)

What are the 6 charateristics of life?
- *Organization:** interrelationships between parts of organism and how they interact to function (if we are missing an organ we could die)
- *Metabolism:** all chemical reactions of the body. Breaking down molecules and building others. Energy transferred from molecule to molecule - FOOD
Responsiveness: sense changes in environment and adjust

- *Development:** changes in organism over time
- Differentiation: change from general to specific
- Morphogenesis: Change in shape of tissues, organs
Reproduction: New cells or organisms
What is homeostatis?
What are the components of regulating homeostatis?
Maintaining constant internal environment, despite changes in external environment
Negative and postive feedback
(Receptors, integrating center, effector)
What is a negative feedback loop?
- Receptors monitor value/environment
- Send info to control center
- Control center compares value to set point range
- If there has been a deviation from set point, control center sends an effector to respond
- Effector responds
- Produces a response that maintains homeostasis
What is the difference between positive and negative feedback?
Negative feedback responds to a deviation away from homeostasis to bring body back to homeostasis
Postive feedback responds to a deviation from homeostasis by pushing/amplifies changes to bring body back to homeostasis (birth)
