Intro To Physiology Flashcards
Anthropomorphism
The attribution of human characteristics or any form to form to non human
Ambient
Referring to environment or surroundings
Homeostasis
The condition of the body in which all functions balance
Definition of Physiology
A biological science that’s deals with the function of living matter
For example, animals, plants, tissues, organs, and chemicals and physical properties of how the body works
Supportive areas of Physiology
Biochemistry
Pathology
Psychology
Subdivisions of Physiology
Systems
Definition of patterns of Physiology
Measurements
For example, first calf, first parody
Examples of Physiology Patterns
Gestation Length Respiration Rate Heart Rate Body Temp Blood Sample Milk Production
Factors that influence Physiology Patterns
Genetics-species determines milk production Environment-California vs Florida Age-feed conversion Nutrition-quality and quantity Physical change-injured Chemical change-growth hormones Gender-rate of gain
Physiological Unit- Cell
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Cell Membrane
Organelles
Physiological Unit-Tissue
Epithelium-covers/lines surfaces (skin)
Muscle-skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Nervous-effector tissue (muscle,glands,skeletal, cardiac, smooth)
Connective-fluids and support for tissues (tendons,ligaments,bone)
Physiological Unit-System
Skeletal Digestive Muscle Nervous Endocrine Circulatory
Physiological Unit-Organism
All systems combined
Can live without all systems (reproductive)
Need main systems to live
Integration of Body Functions
Overlap between systems
Isolate individual stem cells to create something (no recipe as of now)
