Q

Whats the Principle of complementary of structure and function

A

states that function is dependent on structure, and that the form of a structure, and that the form of a structure relates to its function

Q

what are tissues

A

level is groups of cells HAVING COMMON FUNCTION

19
Q

What are organs

A

level made up of discrete structures that are composed of at least two groups of tissues that work together to perform a specific function in the body

20
Q

what are organ systems

A

group of organs that work closely together to accomplish a specific purpose

21
Q

what are organisms

A

total of all structures working together to promote life

22
Q

what are the 8 necessary life functions

A 
maintain boundaries
movement
responsiveness
digestion
metabolism
excrection
reproduction
growth
23
Q

Maintaining Boundaries is a necessary function because it…

A

allows an organization to maintain separate in/external enviornments. or separate internal chemical enviornments

24
Q

movement is a necessary function because it…

A

allows the organism to travel through the enviornment, and allows transport of molecules w/in the organism.

25
Q

responsiveness(or irritability) is a necessary function because it…

A

is the ability to detect changes in the internal or

external environment and respond to them

26
Q

Digestion is a neccessary life function because it’s..

A

the process of breaking down food into molecules that are usable by the body.

27
Q

metabolism is a neccessary life function because…

A

includes all chemical reactions that occur in the body.

28
Q

Excretion

A

the process of removing wastes

29
Q

Reproduction

A

process of producing more cells or organisms.

30
Q

growth

A

is an increase in size in body parts or the whole organism.

31
Q

what are the 5 survival needs

A

nutrients, oxygen, water, normal body temp, atmospheric pressure

32
Q

nutrients

A

are consumed chemical substances that are used for energy and cell building.

33
Q

oxygen

A

required by the chemical reactions that release energy from foods.

34
Q

water

A

the most abundant chemical substance in the body, provides an environment for chemical reactions and a fluid medium for secretions and excretions.

35
Q

normal body temp.

A

is required for the chemical reactions of the body to occur at the proper rate.

36
Q

Atmospheric Pressure

A

must be within an appropriate range so that proper gas exchange occurs in the lungs.

37
Q

Nervous System

A

responds to internal/external stimuli changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands

38
Q

Integumentary

A

External body covering 4 protection, synthesis, vitamin D, houses cutaneous receptors and sweat glands

39
Q

Circulatory

A

blood vessels transport blood carrying nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and waste

40
Q

Endocrine

A

Glands secrete hormones regulating growth, reproduction and nutrients used by body cells

41
Q

Digestive

A

breaks down food into absorbable units enter the blood 4 distribution to body cells

42
Q

Respiratory

A

keeps blood constantly supplied w/ oxygen & remove waste

43
Q

Muscular system

A

manipulation of enviornment, motion, facial expression and produces heat

44
Q

Immune system

A

picks up leaked fluid from blood vessels and returns to blood. Dumps debris in lymphatic system. Houses WBC
