25
function of endocrine system
Facilitates Metabolic Activities
26
system that provides movements
muscular system
27
Function of Cardiovascular system
Distributes Blood
28
System that Defends against infection
Lymphatic system
29
Role of Urinary system
Excretes water products
30
Function of Respiratory system
Provides Oxygen
31
system that Absorbs Nutrients
digestive system
32
Function of Reproductive system
Reproduction
33
What are the major organs of integumentary system
skin hair sweat glands nails
34
This protects body against environmental hazards, regulate body temperatures and provide sensory information
integumentary system
35
This is composed of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and sense organs
nervous system
36
Function of nervous system
Directs immediate responses to stimuli, coordinates or moderate activities of other organ systems, and provides and interprets sensory information
37
Major organs of skeletal system
bones cartilages ligaments bone marrow
38
Provides support and protection for other tissues
skeletal system
39
Composed of pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal glands, gonads and endocrine tissues
endocrine system
40
This direct long-term changes in the activities of other organ system and Adjust metabolic activity
endocrine system
41
This generates heats that maintains body temperature
muscular system
42
Distributes heat and assists in control of body temperature
cardiovascular system
43
Organ system that defends against infection and disease, and returns tissue fluids to the bloodstream
Lymphatic system
44
Major organs of lymphatic system
spleen, thymus, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and tonsils
45
a system that excretes waste from blood, controls water balance, stores urine and regulate blood ion concentrations
urinary system
46
What is homeostasis
state of balance or equilibrium in the body
47
It is responsible for keeping internal environment within certain limits.
Homeostatic regulation
48
What are the two general points within homeostasis internal environment
Autoregulation or intrinsic regulation (negative feedback) and Extrinsic regulation (positive feedback)
49
Differentiate intrinsic regulation from extrinsic regulation
intrinsic regulation – results when cell, organ or system adjusts its activity automatically Extrinsic regulation - results from activity of nervous system or endocrine system
50
Example of positive feedback
Blood clotting
51
Temperature regulation is an example of what feedback
negative feed back
52
are typically found when a potentially dangerous process must be completed before homeostasis can be restored.
Positive Feedback
53
Feedback that tends to produce extreme responses
positive feedback
54
body automatically adjusts its activity
Negative Feedback
55
Type of feedback: Muscle tissue relaxes and dilates blood vessels, sweat glands accelerate their secretion. The skin acts like a radiator by losing heat to the environment and the evaporation of sweat speeds up the process.
negative feedback
56
refers to the process of keeping a state of balance in the body
Homeostasis
57
what does interdependence mean
systems must work together to support human life
58
The muscular and skeletal systems work together to produce movement is an example of?
interdependence
59
is a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body
Disease
60
What are the causes of disease
-Genetic or developmental errors -Infection -Poisons -Nutritional deficiencies or imbalance -Toxicity -Unfavorable environmental factors
61
Difference of signs and symptoms
Signs of disease are objective; they can be measured while Symptoms of disease are subjective. Symptoms can’t be observed by another person, only the ill person experiences them
62
Example of sign of diseases
fever, high blood pressure and rash
63
example of symptoms of disease
Dizziness, Pain, Blurry vision
64
What are the different abnormal cells growth
atrophy hyperplasia metaplasia dysplasia neoplasia
65
What is atrophy
a decrease in size of cells as a result of age or disease
66
an increase in the number of cells
hyperplasia
67
what is metaplasia
cells being replaced by another type of cell
68
what is dysplasia
cells changing in shape or organization
69
what is neoplasia
cells changing in structure with an uncontrolled growth pattern
