Lecture Exam 1 Flashcards
Anatomy
study of internal/external structures &
the physical relationship between parts of the body
Gross Anatomy
Surface anatomy, regional antaomy, systemic anatomy, developmental anatomy
Surface anatomy
General form and superficial markings
Regional Anatomy
Specific areas (libs, trunk)
Systemic Anatomy
Specific Organ systems (CVS)
Developments anatomy
changes from embryo to adult
Microscopic Anatomy
Cytology, Histology
Cytology
Internal structures of cells
Histology
Tissues and tissue layers
Physiology
Study of how the human body performs vital functions
Specialities of Physiology
Cellular, Special, Systemic, Pathological
Cellular Physiology
Chemical processes within and between cells
Special Physiology
Specific organ (cardiac function)
Systemic Physiology
Specific organ systems (CVS)
Pathological Physiology
Disease on organs/systems (high BP)
Homeostasis
Ability of the body to maintain a stable environment, stable NOT stagnant, response to changing conditions, many regulations systems restore balance (endocrine and nervous systems)
Extrinsic regulation and feedback loops
Feedback loops triggered by stimulus that disrupts homeostasis
Feedback loops include:
Receptor, control center, effector
Receptor
Detects a stimulus
Control Center
Interprets information, sends command to effector
Effector
Produces a response
Negative Feedback Loop
Response by the effector eliminates the stimulus, most common, ex. thermoregulation, regulating blood sugar, etc.
Positive Feedback Lop
Response by effector will reinforce the stimulus, dangerous/stressful situations (rapid response), cycle perpetuates, ex. blood clotting, contractions, etc.
