TEST 1 Flashcards
Physiology
Study of morphology
- physical behavior and adaptations
- looks at how animals go about solving the problems of life
Physiology related to other sciences?
Evolution provides brick to biological thought physiology holds to place
Physiology is often refers to as..
The queen of biological sciences
Cuz all sciences fall under physiology umbrella
George bartholomew calls physiology
An old mans game
Domain ecological physiology
Stress test
Adaption
Stress test
HOW individual organisms handle various environmental factors
Define tolerance limits
Adaption
Determines tactics animals use to make up life history stragity
Answers now what or how but to understand the why
Just so story
Stories of proposed reason
Hypotheses which require further resource
Frederick e.j fry
Physiology teacher
The effects of the environment in animal activity
He says animals only have 5 adaptations
Fry paradigm
Fry paradigm
Lethal factors
Controlling factors
Limiting factors
Regulatory factors
Directing factor
Lethal factors
Death
Controlling factors
Set pace/rate of metabolism and development
Limiting factors
Remove metabolites limiting metabolic performance
Regulatory factors
If something is off it has to take from other areas making them weaker
Directing factors
Attraction or avoidance
Knut Schmidt Nielsen
Water balance, salt excretion and heat and nitrogen balance
George bartholomew
Inductive reasoning
Developed animal environment approach
Per scholander
Attic animal
Animal diving phsy
5 important cell membrain functions that make electrical events possible
- act as free barriers of defusion (regulates what comes in and out)
- process where you spend a little energy to move something outside of the cell (exocytosis and excreation)
- receptors concept
- modles sometimes have charge
- anytime you have a potential energy source you can make work
steady ionic state
colegraphy property of state
four important charateristics that establish the inonic steady state
- differental permability membrane
- concentration gradient on either side of the membrain
- electricle charge on membrane
- active molecular pumps
permeability
the rate at which a substance passively penetrates the membrane under a given set of conditions
permeability of cell
viscosity
easier to run in air than in water
- high V means lower permeability
- determined by steral content #1 is colesteral
permeability of cell
thickness of membrain
thickness== harder to get across thinnner= all in example lungs
