structures that relate to it
what gross anatomy subdivision focuses on superficial anatomy? - answerssurface
anatomy
what are some subdivisions of physiology? - answerscardio, neuro, reproductive,
respiratory
what is pathophysiology? - answersinvestigating the relationship between organ
systems and disease/injury
what physiology subdivision investigates the relationship between organ systems and
disease/injury? - answerspathophysiology
physiology is ______, anatomy is _______ - answersfunction; structure
what is homeostasis? - answersrefers to the ability of an organism to maintain a
consistent internal environment in response to changing external conditions
why is homeostasis important? - answersif homeostatic conditions are disrupted, death
or disease can occur
what is the ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal environment in
response to changing external conditions? - answershomeostasis
what are the three components of homeostasis? - answersreceptor, control center,
effector
what is the body structure that detects a stimulus? - answersreceptor
what is a receptor? - answersbody structure that detects a stimulus
give an example of a receptor. - answersnerve cells
, what interprets input from receptor and initiates changes through the effector? -
answerscontrol center
what is the control center? - answersinterprets input from receptor and initiates changes
through the effector
give an example of a control center. - answersendocrine or nervous system.
what is the structure that brings about change to alter the stimulus? - answerseffector
what is the effector? - answersstructure that brings about change to alter stimulus
give an example of an effector. - answersmuscles/exocrine glands
what is a change in the variable or stretch in muscle? - answersstimulus
what is the set point? - answerswhere the variable is maintained within normal levels
what is negative feedback? - answersmaintains variable within normal limits by moving
the stimulus in the opposite direction
give an example of negative feedback. - answerstemp regulation
what is positive feedback? - answersmaintains variable within normal limits by
amplifying the stimulus in the same direction until climactic event occurs
give an example of positive feedback. - answersbreastfeeding
which is more typical, positive or negative feedback? - answersnegative
for negative feedback: if stimulus increases, then homeostasis causes a __________ in
stimulus. if stimulus decreases, then homeostasis causes a __________ in stimulus -
answersdecrease; increase
what is a specific cause of homeostatic imbalance? - answersdiagnosis
what is the likely course of a disease/ailment? - answersprognosis
what are the manifestations of a disease apparent to the patient? - answerssymptoms
what are the manifestations of a disease that the physician perceives? - answerssigns
what are the levels of organization? - answersatom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ
what is an atom? - answerssmallest unit of matter eg carbon/hydrogen
