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
