Physiology - Answers✔How an organism works
Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics - Answers✔Physiology is an integration of
ATP <--> ADP + Pi + energy - Answers✔Equation 1
Glucose + O2 + ADP + Pi -> ATP + CO2 + H2O + heat - Answers✔Equation 2
CO2 + H2O = HCO3- + H+ - Answers✔Equation 3
Equation 3 - Answers✔Aiding transport of a key gas, but creating a pH issue
Equation 3 - Answers✔Not as common of an equation but is still critical because it gives us an
alternate way to make CO2 that doesn't like to move in our blood
PV=nRT - Answers✔Equation 4
Equation 4 (PV=nRT) - Answers✔Key equation for lungs, blood pressure
Homeostasis - Answers✔Relatively stable maintenance of a body parameter
Dynamic Constancy - Answers✔Movement to change homeostasis to
Homeostatic Control System - Answers✔Set of interconnected components that are working
together to keep this parameter where it is supposed to be
Keep parameter at set point - Answers✔Purpose of the homeostatic control system
Steady state - Answers✔Parameter at set point
Steady state - Answers✔Asks the questions: Have we achieved this goal? Are we at our target?
Steady state - Answers✔If we are within the range of the set point we are in _____
not changing, energy - Answers✔In steady state, system is ____, but ____ is being used
Equilibrium - Answers✔_____ is NOT steady state
Feedback - Answers✔Reactive disturbance
Negative feedback - Answers✔Reaction opposite of disturbance direction

Negative feedback - Answers✔More common reaction to maintain homeostasis
Negative feedback - Answers✔Return toward SS/SP
Positive feedback - Answers✔Reaction continuing in disturbance direction
Positive feedback - Answers✔Move further from SS/SP
Feedforward - Answers✔Proactive disturbance
Feedforward - Answers✔Anticipating a disruption from our steady state and trying to avoid that
disruption
Feedforward - Answers✔Limits the degree of feedback required when we do get placed out of
SS
Feedforward - Answers✔Less energy is required for this type of reaction
Feedforward - Answers✔Biorhythms have a _____ component
Internal clock, environment - Answers✔Biorhythms utilize an _____, which is not altered by the
_____
Adaptation, genetic change - Answers✔Biorhythms have been developed through _____ and
____ _____
Acclimatization - Answers✔the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a gradual
change in its environment allowing it to maintain performance across a range of environmental
conditions
Acclimatization - Answers✔How we as individuals adjust our biorhythms
Environment - Answers✔We use the _____ to reset our internal clock and change our set point
Use-based - Answers✔Acclimatization is a _____ process
Genetic change - Answers✔Acclimatization is NOT a
Developmental Acclimatization - Answers✔Changes that are irreversible by adulthood
Receptor --> stimulus - Answers✔Afferent pathway
Effector --> response --> (negative feedback) --> stimulus - Answers✔Efferent pathway
Receptor - Answers✔Receives stimulus
External or internal - Answers✔The receptor can be
Afferent - Answers✔Towards the integrating center
