Organ system
Organism

Question 12

Pathophysiology

Answer 12

the study of structural and functional changes in tissues and organs that lead to disease

Question 13

Neurophysiology

Answer 13

the study of the working nervous system

Question 14

Renal Physiology

Answer 14

the study of kidney function

Question 15

Cardiovascular Physiology

Answer 15

how the heart and blood vessels work

Question 16

Define anatomical variation using examples to illustrate

Answer 16

Deviations in the human body that are different to another peroson.

Example: some people dont have the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm. it doesnt affect function just shows not every one is the same. most people have 24 ribs, but as many of 6% of us have 23, 26 or more

Question 17

Define Homeostasis

Answer 17

Homeostasis is stability, its the bodies ability to regulate us while the world around us changes in temp or anything.

Question 18

Human structure brief description

Question 19

The 3 Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

Answer 19

1. Receptor- A sensor that monitors the environment and responds to stimuli that cause imbalance in homeostasis
2. Control centre- Determines the set point that the variable is maintained. Analyses info from receptor and determines the response
3. Effector- Causes a change to reverse the situation back to normal

Question 20

What is a negative feedback loop?

Answer 20

A negative feedback loop helps regulate health by ensuring that a reaction is appropriate and that the systems of the body are in a constant state of equilibrium, also known as homeostasis

Question 21

What is a positive feedback loop?

Answer 21

a mechanism in which an output is enhanced in order to maintain homeostasis.

Positive feedback mechanisms are designed to push levels out of normal ranges

Question 22

Example of positive feedback loop

Answer 22

Blot clotting or child birth

Question 23

Anatomical position

Answer 23

-Standing up straight
-Facing forward
-Feet flat on floor and close together
-Hands by sides with palms facing forward

Question 24

What is Anatomical position for?

Answer 24

-Frame of reference to describe anatomical terminology
-Explain where one body part is in relation to another

Question 25

Anatomical planes

Answer 25

Sagittal- separates body right and left
Coronal/Frontal- separates body back and front
Transverse- separates body top and bottom
