1. Function of tissue
Epithelial tissue covers exposed surfaces and lines body cavities. Connective tissue protects,
supports, and binds structures and organs. Muscle tissue produces movement. And nervous
tissue conducts nerve impulses for communication.
2. Heart murmur
An abnormal heart sound that is usually the first indication of haert valve problems. It is usaually
the result of turbulence of blood passing through the heart, and maybe caused by valvular
leakage, decreased valve flexibility, or a misshapen valve.
3. What is anatomy and physiology.
These are the combined studies of structure and form (anatomy) and function of the body parts
(physiology).
4. A full stomach impedes contraction of the diaphragm, limiting inhalation.
5. Oxytocin.
It is produced by hypothalamus and is involved in uterine contractions and milk expulsion from
mammary glands. There are maternal and fetal oxytocin.
6. Angiotensin II
This is the active form of angiotensinogen, increases blood pressure, a powerful blood
vessel constrictor, stimulates kidneys to decrease urine output, stimulates the thirst
center, converted by ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme).
7. Compare the nervous system to the endocrine system is on page 655.

8. If carbon dioxide levels rise in the body, negative feedback mechanisms will trigger an
increase in breathing so that carbon dioxide levels decline to the set point.
9. Insulin
Released from the pancreas and decreases blood glucose levels.
10.Atrial natriuretic peptide
Works on heart, functions primarily to decrease blood pressure by stimulating both the
kidneys to increase urine output and dilate blood vessels.
11.When blood starts to become too acidic, the kidneys respond by getting rid of what? Acid
base balance
12.What hormones are synthesized in the hypothalamus and are released from the posterior
pituitary when nerve signals arrive. Oxytocin and ADH.
13.stimulate glucocorticoid release from the adrenal glands.
14.Ovaries and testes
15.The thyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone in response to low blood calcium levels.
16.Hemopoiesis.
Haematopoiesis (from Greek α μα, "blood" and ποιε ν "to make"; alsoἷ ῖ
hematopoiesis in
American English; sometimes also haemopoiesis or hemopoiesis) is the
of
formation cellular components. All cellular blood components are derived

In a healthy adult person, approximately 1011–1012 new blood cells are produced
cells
daily in order to maintain steady state levels in the peripheral circulation.[2][3]
