NOTES! Chapter 1: Introduction to Human
Anatomy & Physiology
Anatomy - ANS study of the structure of body parts
hist - ANS tissues
histology - ANS microscopic study of tissues
cyto - ANS Cells
cytology - ANS microscopic study of cells
Physiology - ANS study of the function of body parts
TEN life processes distinguish living from non-living things - ANS 1.movement
2.responsiveness
3.growth
4.reproduction
5.respiration
6.digestion
7.absorption
8.circulation
9.assimilation
10.excretion
FIVE environmental need - ANS 1. nutrients
2.oxygen
3.water
4.heat
5.pressure
homeostasis - ANS tendency of an organism to maintain a stable internal enviornment
What type of feedback are most homeostatic mechanisms regulated by? - ANS Negative
feedback
THREE components of homeostatic mechanism - ANS 1.thermoreceptors
2.hypothalamus (control center)
3.skin blood vessels, sweat glands, heart, lungs
