Q

What are the organs present in the cardiovascular system and what are their general functions?

A

Organs: : Blood, heart, and blood vessels.

Functions: Heart pumps blood through blood vessels; blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells and helps regulate acid–base balance, temperature, and water content of body fluids; blood components help defend against disease and repair damaged blood vessels.

20
Q

  4. Growth: an increase in body size resulting from and increase to the size of existing cells, and increase in the number of cells, or both.
  5. Differentiation: the development of a cell from an unspecialized to a specialized state.
  6. Reproduction: the formation of new cells for tissue growth, repair or replacement OR the production of a new individual.
21
Q

Differentiate between anabolism and catabolism.

A

Catabolism is the breakdown of complex chemical substances into simpler components.

Anabolism is the building up of complex chemical substances from smaller, simpler components.

22
Q

Define homeostasis.

A

The maintenance of relatively stable conditions in the body’s internal environment.

23
Q

Describe the components of a feedback system.

A
  1. Receptor: a body structure that monitors change in a controlled condition and sends input to a control center.
  2. Control center: sets the narrow range or set point within which a controlled condition should be maintained, evaluates the input it receives from receptors, and generates output commands when they are needed.
  3. Effector: a body structure that receives output from the control center and produces a response or effect that changes the controlled condition.
24
Q

Contrast the negative and positive feedback systems.

A

A negative feedback system reverses a change in a controlled condition, while a positive feedback system tends to strengthen or reinforce a change in one of the body’s controlled conditions.

25
