Physiology Flashcards
body’s response to any demand placed on it. Can be emotional, mental, physical or chemical.
Can be healthy and desired
stress
process of muscles doing like tug and pull method 2 opposing set of muscles like antagonist and synogist
reciprocal inhibition
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle and Nervous
types of tissues
most abundant, surrounds almost every organ, connects, supports, transports and defends.
Vascular Made of collagen
Main types: Fibrous, bone, cartilage and liquid
Massage is good for increase fibroblast activity improved tissue healing , improve scar tissue formation
increase scar tissue strength to aid in tendon healing
effective with burns
connective tissue
blood cell production
hemopoiesis
Being strong/ ability to remain stronge despite fatigue, pain etc
Strength/Endurance
fatty tissue is specialized for fat storage, yellow bone marrow, insulation, energy and cushion for surrounding organs
adipose tissue
essential for metabolic reactions in the body
water-soluable-easily absorbed and excreted within hours; Fat -soluable absorbed slowly and often reside in the liver and fat cells
vitamins
tissue left over after damaged, scar is stronger than the tissue being replaced
MC: postpone working on scar tissue until area has completely healed
use deep friction (cross fiber, circular, and chucking) skin rolling techniques and mobilize the tissues toward the scar except away
scar tissue
produced from melanocyte, that contributes to skin color, serves as a protective shield for the skin from the damaging effects of sunlight
melanin
produced by Keratinocytes, a tough fibrous protein that gives the skin protection,
keratin
involved in the control of biorhythms, growth and development of sexual organs, drowsiness and inhibits the secretion of LH
melatonin
Two , Exocrine glands and Endocrine glands
Exocrine glands-secrete their products into ducts that open to body cavities like sebaceous, salivary.
Endocrine:ductless cells that produce hormones.
types of glands
part of the lower respiratory tract; windpipe connects the larynx with the bronchi anterior to the esophagus
bifurcates at its base into two primary (left and right bronchi.
trachea
muscular tube connects the pharynx to the stomach
esophagus
Connects the pharynx to the trachea; houses the vocal cords; also known as the voice box
layrnx
Mature bone cell
osteocytes
Bone forming cell found just beneath the periosteum
osteoblasts
Bone-destroying cell found in the lining of the medullary cavity; breaks down bone tissue to maintain blood calcium levels
osteoclast
Constancy of the body’s internal environment; it represents a relatively stable condition
homeostasis
stretch receptors located within the muscle belly; detects sudden stretching, causing the nervous system to respond by reflexively contracting the muscle
muscle spindles
Organ located inferior to the stomach; both an endocrine gland that secretes insulin and glucagon, and an exocrine gland that secretes enzymes
pancreas
Narrow tube that transports urine from the urinary bladder out of the body during urination
urethra
slender hollow tube transporting urine formed by the kidney to the urinary bladder
ureters
stomach
gastro
distal sphincter of the small intestine, located between the small and large intestine
ileocecal sphincter
is an enlargement of the gastrointestinal tract, bound at both ends by sphincters; breaks bolus of food down into chyme; secretes the digestive enzyme that breaks down the proteins
stomach
the final route that undigested and unabsorbed food takes before it is eliminated by the body. Involves the Cecum, Ascending Colon, Transverse Colon, Descendng Colon, Sigmoid Colon, and Rectum
large intestine
small bowel longest portion of the GI tract. Involves the Duodenum, Jejunum and Illeum
small intestine
chemical messengers of the endocrine system. p640 typical hormones
hormones
Hollow, pear-shaped organ in which the fertilized ovum implants, the fetus develops, and from which menses flow; also called the womb
uterus
Bean shaped structures located along the lymph vessels; filters lymph; houses phagocytes and lymphocytes tat destroy pathhogens and other foreign substances in the lymph before it returns to the blood.
lymph nodes
chemical elements found in nature and divided into two categories: macro/micro found in plant and animal products like vegetables meats dairy and soy
minerals
Tissue that lines or covers the body external surface, internal organs, blood vessels; body cavities, digestive,respiratory, urinary and reproductive tracts
Epithelial Tissue
Tissue that produces movement of the body ability to contract,elongate and return to original shape
Ex smooth,cardiac and skeletal muscle
Muscle tissue
Tissue that has the ability to detect and transmit electrical signals by converting stimuli into nerve impulses
Nervous Tissues
