Unit 1- Biol 230 Athabasca EXAM
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS |\ |\




Integration: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The process in |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



which the bodies systems work together to accomplish a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



unified/common task |\




emergent properties - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔In a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



complex hierarchy such as the body's organizational plan,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



as
|\




each level gives rise to the next highest level, new
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



properties emerge |\




that are not present at the levels below
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Metabolism: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The sum of all the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



chemical reactions that occur in the body (catabolism
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



"breakdown" eg fat breakdown by the gall bladder,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



anabolism "build up" eg amino acids |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Responsiveness: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔: Is the bodies |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



ability to detect and respond to changes. Eg the body
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



regulates body temperature, which Is why you shiver
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



when you get cold (Internal). External factor would be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



protecting your face when you see a ball coming at you
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



(external)

,Movement: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Includes motion of |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



the whole body, organs, single cells, and tiny structures
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



inside of cell |\ |\




Growth: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Is an increase in body
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



size that results from an increase in the size of existing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



cells, an increase in the number of cells or both.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Differentiation: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Is the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



development of a cell from an unspecialized to a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



specialized state. Each type of cell in the body has a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



specialized structure and function that differs from that of |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



its precursor (ancestor) cells. For example, erythrocytes
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



(red blood cells) and several types of leukocytes all arise
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



from the same unspecialized precursor cells in bone
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



marrow.


Stem cells : - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Precursor cells that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



can divide and give rise to cells that undergo
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



differentiation.


Reproduction: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Refers to the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



formation of new cells for tissue growth, repair, or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



replacement. Or the production of a new individual |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The maintenance |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



of relatively stable conditions in the body's internal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



environment


Intracellular fluid: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The fluid |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



within cells compromises 2/3 of total body fluid
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Extracellular fluid: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The fluid that |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



is outside of the cells which compromises the other 1/3 of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



the body and is composed 80% intercellular fluid
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



(inbetween cells) and 20 % plasma |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Interstitial fluid: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The fluid the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



fills the narrow spaces between the cells
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Plasma: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The fluid portion of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



blood


Homeostasis: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The maintenance |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



of relatively stable conditions in the body's internal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



environment


Steady state: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔energy is needed
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



to keep the regulated parameter at a relatively constant
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



level

, Equilibrium: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔conditions remain |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



constant without the expenditure of energy
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Feedback system - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔: is a cycle of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



events in which a parameter of the internal environment
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



is monitored, evaluated,changed, remonitored,
|\ |\ |\ |\



reevaluated, and so on. |\ |\ |\




Stimulus: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Any disruption that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



changes a controlled variable is called a stimulus.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Receptor: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔: a body structure that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



monitors changes in a controlled variable and sends
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



input to a control center.
|\ |\ |\ |\




Negative feed back system: - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



✔✔Reverses a change in a controlled variable |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Baroreceptors: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the receptors), |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



pressure sensitive neurons located in the walls of certain
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



blood vessels, detect the higher pressure. These neurons
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



send action potentials (input) to the brain (control center)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
