PHYSIOLOGY Flashcards
Levels of Organisation
cells –> tissues [epithelial, muscle, nervous, connective] –> organ –> body system
organ structure stomach exaple
stomach
1. epithelial : inner surface (secretion) = lines the stomach and secretes gastric acid + digestive enzymes
2. connective : outside of stomach and maintains structure and organ’s specific arrangement so it stays where it should be
3. muscle : contractions+digestion = mobility and churn food
4. nervous : communication = brain –> stomach for gastric acid production
10/11 body systems
- digestive
- reproductive
- endocrine
- respiratory
- nervous
- urinary
- circulatory
- integumentary
- immune
- musculoskelletal
intracellular fluid
interstitual fluid
plasma
extracellular fluid
fluid inside cell –> intracellular fluid
fluid surrounding cells –> interstitual fluid
fluid inside blood –> plasma
plasma + interstitual fluid = extracellular fluid
