Physiology Intro Flashcards
(molecules/cells/organs) act as as sources of eneryg , serve in recognition, build larger structures that are building blocks of the cell
molecules
(molecules/cells/organs) are the smalles unit capable of carring out life , separate an internal environement , maintain it different from external thrugh barrier actions of the plasma membrane
cells
T/F cells can be specialized for specific jobs/roles
cells
(cells/tissue/organs/organ systems) are groups of cells that work to carry out a related function
tissues
(cells/tissue/organs/organ systems) are structural and functional units formed by different types of tissues that work together to do a specific job
organs
(cells/tissue/organs/organ systems) are compromized of groups of organs whos funcitons intergrate to allwo the organism to funciton in and interact with its environment in an appropriate fashion
organ systems
physiology part of biology dealing with (function/deterioration) and activities of organisms
-it also is how organisms (sense/adjust/control/compose) changes in their environment –pick two
function
sense and adjust
(Homeostasis/cell-cell communication) refers to the physiological processes that help maintain/regulate the internal environment of the body.
homeostasis
would you rather a person maintain homeostasis or equilibrium as a future health care provider? and why
rather a person maintain homeostasis because equilibrium nothing is changing
T/F knowing how something is put together often yield iimportant cluses to how the system functions
T
homeostasis the ability to maintain the interna evironment within (broad/narrow) limits
narrow
(nervous/autorine/paracrine) systems are for local communication between neighboring cells , signlas diffuse from signlaing cell to target cell
autorine paracrine
(nervous/endocrine) system gnerally allow signlas to be carried over relatively long distances, but at different rates (neural signaling is faster)
endocrine
T/F endocrine and neural systems are opposite ends of continous spectra for example hormones are secreted from nerves and are considered neurohormones
