Into to Human Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Anatomy and physiology are difficult to separate because
Physiological functions depend on anatomical structures
Assimilation
Changing absorbed substances in different chemical forms
Blood cells are produced in the organs of the
Skeletal system
Homeostasis is the
Tendency of the body to maintain a stable internal environment
In negative feedback mechanisms, changes away from the normal state
Stimulate changes in the opposite direction
Living Organisms
A release energy stored in the molecules of food
Metabolism
All the chemical reactions occurring in an organism that support life
Most of the terminology to name and describe body parts and their functions comes from
Latin and Greek
Positive Feedback mechanisms
Move conditions away from the normal state
A person has alkalemia of blood PH
Rise above 7.5
A simple carbohydrate
has a molecular formula of C6 H12 O6
A triglyceride consist
3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol
An organic compound always contain
Carbon and hydrogen
Atomic radiation is useful for treating cancer because
Radiation harms cancer cells more readily than it does most non cancerous cells
Chemistry is important to the study of physiology because
All the above
DNA
Stores genetic information including instructions for the enzymes that synthesis fats and carbs
DNA and RNA
DNA holds genetic information and RNA use the information to synthesis protein
In a covalent bond
Atoms share a pair or more of electrons
In a ionic bond
Oppositely charged atoms attract
Lipids
All of the above
