Intro To Med Sci. Flashcards
4 types of tissue types
Epithelial, connective, nervous, muscle
Equation of life ( +=+)
Nutrients + O2 = Energy (ATP) + waster (incl. CO2)
Cardiovascular basic function
delivers O2 and nutrients to cell and removes waste
Respiratory system basic function
Acquires O2, disposes of CO2
Gastrointestinal system basic function
Acquires nutrient, disposes of waste in faeces
Renal system basic function
Disposes of waste (urine)
Musculoskeletal system basic function
Sources nutrients, removes us from danger and protects from threat
Nervous and endocrine systems basic function
Co-ordinated other systems, allowing cellular access to nutrients that have been absorbed
Law of supply and demand means that…
As energy demand increases, supply of substrates required to produce energy must also increase to prevent disturbance in the system (homeostasis)
