BIO 220 EXAM 1 STUDY GUIDE UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
where things are located and how they look
*study of structure
Answer:
anatomy
Question:
understanding how something functions with respect to its anatomy
*study of the function
Answer:
physiology
Question:
what is the importance of studying comparative Anatomy
and Physiology?
Answer:
studying similarities between animals helps understand form and functions of
homologous structures ( come from same origin)
Question:
Neurophysiology
Endocrinology
Pathophysiology
Answer:
-study of the nervous system
- study of endocrine system
- study of diseases and disorders
Question:
human implications and why do we study evolution?
Answer:
closest relative? chimp
genetic difference? 1.6%
helps choose animals for research
medical derivates
Question:
Human shared adaptations
Answer:
1. opposable thumbs (grab onto things)
2. Bipedalism (walk up right on 2 legs)
3. endurance (ability to run long distance)
4. brain size and folding (increases surface ares)
, Question:
Anatomical variation and its importance in clinical
research
Answer:
no two humans are exactly alike, this means the medical field has to watch dosage
and not all procedures and histology slides will be identical
Question:
negative feedback mechanism (most common)
Answer:
helps keep variables close to set point and bringing things back to normal
ex: body heat (like house thermostat)
nerve cells in brain monitor temp.
Question:
positive feedback mechanism
Answer:
mechanism that amplifies change in the same direction
rapid change
ex: childbirth
Question:
3 components of feedback mechanism loop
Answer:
receptor- detects a change and send message to integration center
integration center- tells something to do something
effector-causes the change
Question:
gradients and flow
Answer:
central concept of living systems
difference in:
- chemical concentration
- electric charge
- pressure
- temp.
Question:
anatomical positions
Answer:
anterior
posterior
midline
lateral
medial
superior
