Vascular Physiology

A

Examines the heart and blood vessels

  • Type based on specific organ systems
  • Requires understanding of chemistry and physics (next two lectures)
  • Function reflects structure
17
Q

Pathology

A

Medical science involving the aspect of disease

18
Q

Exercise Physiology

A

Examines changes in function and structure caused by exercise

19
Q

Organization of the Human Body

A

chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal

20
Q

Levels of Organization

A

-Chemical Level- Involves the interactions between atoms

-Cellular Level
+Cells- Basic structural and functional units of plants and animals
+Organelles- Derived from molecules, organelles are the small structure inside cells.
+Ex: Nucleus

-Tissue Level
+Tissue: Similar cells with a common function
++CMEN- connective, muscle, epithelial, and nervous tissue

-Organ Level
+Organ: Composed of two or more tissue types that perform one or more common functions
+Ex: urinary bladder, heart, stomach, and lungs

-Organ System Level
+Organ System: Group of organs that perform a common function/set of functions; viewed as a unit; all systems promoting life.
++Ex: Integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, etc.

21
Q

Necessary life functions

A
  1. Boundaries- Edges of a cell; inside of the cell is alive, everything outside is dead/extracellular
  2. Movement- Avoid deleterious situations, seek safety, resources, and mates
  3. Responsiveness- Organism’s ability to sense changes in an internal or external environment; detect relevant biological stimuli.
  4. Digestion/Ingestion- Do Not benefit us at a cellular level
    • Ingest- Acquire resources outside of our bodies, contains macromolecules
    • Digestion-Isolate macromolecules, and modify them (metabolize them)
  5. Metabolism- Chemical reactions in the cells and internal environment of an organism to break down food and use it as a source of energy;
    -break macromolecules into their monomers (individual pieces);
    -Metabolism gives us the components we need to manufacture the specific molecules we need,
    -Or metabolize complex macromolecules, so the bonds in those macromolecules can get harvested and stored.
    +Ex: ingesting proteins-breaking peptide bonds to release amino acids and make our own proteins.
  6. Excretion- Excrete metabolites (consequences of metabolism) that can be harmful
    +Ex: urinary excretion
  7. Reproduction- Formation of new cells or organisms; necessary for the human race
  8. Growth- Increase in the size/number of cells; remodel existing tissue
    - Development- Changes an organism undergoes from fertilization to death
    - Differentiation- Changes in a cell’s structure and function from an immature to a mature state
    - Morphogenesis- Changes in shape of tissues, organs, and the entire organism
22
Q

Requirements for life

A
  1. Nutrients
  2. Oxygen
  3. Water
  4. Normal body temperature
  5. Atmospheric pressure
23
Q

Homeostasis

A

-ability to maintain stable internal conditions; body must actively regulate constantly changing conditions

  1. Most organ systems work in concert to keep condition within a narrow range
    a. Primarily achieved by nervous and endocrine function
  2. Control system design:
    a. Variable: factor or event being controlled; the value of variables can change, exposing humans to new conditions.
    Ex: Body temperature
  3. Feedback control
    a. Positive—increase stimulus
    b. Negative—decrease stimulus- Any deviation from the set point is made smaller/returned back to normal.
    Ex: As body temperature changes, negative feedback returns it back to normal so the body can function properly.
    i. Mechanisms (three or more)
    Receptor-Monitors the value of a variable such as body temperature
    Control Center- establish a set point around which the variable is maintained through communication with the receptors and connectors
    Ex: part of the brain
    Effector- Can adjust the value of the variable, usually back toward the set point
    Ex: sweat glands
24
Q

Positive Feedback

A

-change proceeds in the same direction as the original stimulus; exemplifies the change
a. Not common
b. Do not require constant adjustment
c. Events are self-perpetuating
d. Cascades
e. Example: blood clotting, childbirth
+Ex:childbirth; during positive feedback of childbirth, the size of the baby stretches the uterus, contractions push the baby against the uterus opening, stretching the uterus even more, resulting in more contractions, the positive feedback end when the baby is delivered

25
Q

Negative Feedback

A
  • (most common) Any deviation from the set point is made smaller/returned back to normal; net effect is system output shuts off or reduces original stimulus intensity
    a. Variable changes in the opposite direction of the initial change
    b. Example: glucose regulation, change in body temperature
    c. Stimulus: A changed variable
