Q

What does the digestive system do?

A

IDEA
Ingestion-digestion-absorption-excretion
Carbohydrates→ monosaccharides
Fats→ fatty acids and monoglycerides
Proteins→ amino acids

Fats- has triglycerides> everything gets broken down to mono+ whatever it gets breaken down to!

Q

What is the function of homeostasis?

A

when the body maintains a more or less stable state (internal body environment);
condition of equilibrium (like yin and yang); will shut off upon maintaining that state

Q

What is the negative feedback system?

A

Receptors (monitor: everywhere all over body)>Afferent pathway (input)> CNS ( integrates sensory info and sends out motor commands)> efferent pathway (output)> Effector ( anything that carries out command out of control center such as organ or gland)
Stimulus> receptor>CNS> effector

Q

What is metabolism?

A

sum of all the chemical processes that occurred in the body

22
Q

What is catabolism and anabolism?

A

Anabolism—building up of complex chemical substances
Catabolism—breaking down of complex chemical substances

23
Q

What is responsiveness?

A

ability to detect and respond to change; used to maintain homeostasis (e.g. nerves generate AP or nerve signals to stimulate an effector> muscle to respond)

24
Q

How can homeostasis be influenced?

A

Homeostasis can be influenced by environment, air, food, water, behavior and genetics

Air, water, food- think about basic needs!

25
Q

Explain how the negative feedback system works for maintaining blood pressure levels?

A

26
Q

What does disorder and disease mean?

A

Disorder—abnormality of structure or function
Disease—more specific term for an illness associated with certain signs and symptoms
Symptoms—subjective changes (nausea—anxiety)
Signs—objective changes (swelling—fever)

Disease- think of eczema!!
Symptoms- Think of S in Subjective and the opposite O for signs!

27
Q

What is epidemiology?

A

when, why, where and how diseases occur and are transmitted

Think about 5 Ws!

28
Q

What is pharmacology?

A

study of the effects and uses of drugs in the treatment o disease

29
Q

What is diagnosis?

A

Diagnosis—distinguishing one disorder or disease from another

Diagnosis- think about the D for differentiatiion of disorder or disease!!!!

30
Q

What does the physical examination involve?

A

Physical examination
Inspection—palpation—auscultation—percussion
Vital signs—temperature—pulse—respiration rate—blood pressure
Lab tests—urinalysis—blood

31
Q

Explain each aspect of the physical examination?

A
32
Q

What are the planes of the body?

A

SOFT

  2) Sagital plane: left and right 
  3)  Frontal or coronal plane: anterior and posterior ( runs from top to bottom)
  4) Transversal plane: superior and inferior  Trans: across (e.g. Transatlantic airlines flying you across the Atlantic Ocean. )
33
Q

What is a serous membrane?

A

smooth tissue membrane of mesothelium that surrounds the internal body cavities and organs and does not open directly; allows frictionless movements against opposing sides of organs

34
Q

What are the main three body cavities that has serous membranes?

A

3 cavities that serous membranes that surround: pericardial cavity ( heart), peritoneum(abdominopelvic cavity), pleura (lung)

35
Q

Name the three structures of the membranes per the body cavity?

A

Visceral serous: The serous membrane that covers internal organs
parietal serous: the one that covers the cavity wall is called the
Between the two opposing serosal surfaces is often a potential space, mostly empty except for the small amount of serous fluid ( serous cavity)

36
Q

What is the dorsal body cavity?

A

Cranial body cavity (brain) and veterbral body cavity (spinal cord)

37
Q

What is the thoracic body cavity?

A

Contains heart and lungs; also composes of the superior mediastinum, pleural cavity (lungs), and pericardial cavity ( heart) within the mediastinum

38
Q

What is the abdominal cavity

A

contains digestive viscera

39
Q

What is the ventral body cavity?

A

contains thoracic and abdominal body cavity

40
Q

What is the pelvic body cavity?

A

contains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum

41
Q

What does the diaphragm?

A

separates thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity

42
Q

What is movement?

A

whole body or organ ( walking- stomach churning- blood flow)

43
Q

What is growth?

A

increase in size or number of cells

44
Q

What is the epithelial tissue?

A

covers exposed surfaces and lines body caivties

45
Q

What is connective tissue?

A

protects, supports, and bind structures and organs

46
Q

A

movement

47
