For inquiries Email:
anatomy - -✓study of the structure/morphology of the human body and its parts
physiology - -✓study of the functions of the human body and its parts
List the levels of organization from simplest to most complex. - -✓subatomic particles
atom
molecule
macro-molecule
organelle
cell
tissue
organ
organ system
organism
cell - -✓-composed of organelles
-the basic units of structure and function of the body
tissue - -✓layer or mass of cells with specific function
organ - -✓group of different tissues with a function
,system/ organ system - -✓group of organs with common function
homeostasis - -✓maintenance of a stable internal environment
metabolism - -✓all of the chemical reactions in an organism that support life
positive feedback loop - -✓-homeostatic mechanism
-response enhances or exaggerates original stimulus
-uncommon in body
-short lived
-examples are contractions in labor by oxytocin and platelet plug formation+ blood clotting
negative feedback loop - -✓-homeostatic mechanism
-most feedbacks in the body
-response reduces or shuts off original stimulus/ goes in opposite direction
-examples are regulation of body temperature, regulation of blood glucose by insulin
Human life depends on what 5 environmental factors? - -✓1) water
2) food
3) oxygen
4) heat
5) pressure
1) Water - -✓-most abundant substance in body
- environment for metabolic processes
-required for transport of substance
-regulation of body temperature
, 2) Food - -✓-provides necessary nutrients
-supplies energy
-supplies raw materials for building living tissue
3) Oxygen (gas) - -✓-one fifth of air
-used to release energy from nutrients
4) Heat - -✓-heat is a form of energy in out environment
- helps maintain body temperature
- partly controls rate of metabolic reactions
5) Pressure - -✓-application of force on an object
- atmospheric pressure// important for breathing
-hydrostatic pressure// keeps blood flowing
Identify the parts of a basic homeostatic mechanism. - -✓1) receptor
2) control center
3) effector
1) receptor - -✓detects and provides information about the stimuli
2) control center - -✓decision- maker that maintains the set point
3) effector - -✓muscle or gland that responds to the control center and causes the necessary change in
the internal enviroment
Organ systems in the human body
-basic functions and major organs - -✓integumentary
