Homeostasis, CH 1 Flashcards
Pathophysiology
is an abnormal function on the body that causes disease
How many body systems, name them
11: Circulatory, integumentary, digestive, respiratory, urinary, skeletal, muscular, immune, nervous. endocrine, reproductive
Levels of organization in the Body
Chemical, cellular, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
Four tissue types
CMEN: Connective, Muscular, Epithelial, Nervous
Connective tissue types and function
Loose (Areolar), Dense (regular and irregular), adipose, bone, blood, cartilage. Connects supports and anchors body parts
What type of tissues are blood and lymph
Fluid Connective
Name the types of muscular tissue and function
Smooth- movement of contents through tubes and organs, Cardiac contracts heart to pump blood, skeletal moves the skeleton
Name the types of nervous tissue and function
Central and Peripheral nervous systems. Send signals via action potential. Found in brain, spinal cord,nerve, and sense organs
Name epithelial tissues
Simple, stratified, pseudostratified
Simple
Squamous, cuboidal, columnar
stratified
Squamous, cuboidal, columnar
pseudostratified types and location
Transitional (bladder), Columnar (trachea)
what is PSCCE
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial
what type of tissue is used for secretion
epithelial specifically glands
the two types of glands
exocrine and endocrine
Define endocrine
Secretions are released inside the body into the blood in the from of hormones
define exocrine
exocrine glands release secretions outside the body or into a cavity in the from of sweat and digestive juices
Define homeostasis
maintenance of a stable internal environment
Two types of fluid that are components of cellular homeostasis
ICF and ECF
Two components of ECF
Plasma and Interstitial fluid
Lymph is an example of ECF true or false
True
Components of Homeostasis
concentration of: nutrients, O2, CO2, waste products, electrolytes, water; pH, volume, pressure, temp
two homeostatic control systems
Intrinsic and Extrinsic
Define Intrinsic and give an example
Intrinsic acts within and organ ie. Muscle tissue releasing chemicals that act on attached blood vessels to cause them to dialate when O2 drops
Define extrinsic and give an example
Extrinsic means that regulatory mechanisms that are outside the organ control the organs activity. When blood pressure drops the brain sends signals to the heart and blood vessels to increase heart rate and constrict vessels to bring up BP
Most common type of feedback to maintain homeostasis
Negative feedback loop
What are the stages of a negative feedback loop
Receptor gets the message (change from baseline), sends the message to the control center (usually the brain), sends the message to the effector, which produces a compensentory response to bring the variable to normal baseline.
What is a positive feedback loop
It amplifies the initial change and continues to move further away from the set point.
What are examples of positive feedback
oxytocin in childbirth and breastfeeding, and action potentials in cell membrane
