What are the definitions of anatomy and physiology? - Answer anatomy: the study of body structures, their shape/form defines their function physiology: the study of body function; keeps body at set pt - the two are intertwined 6 basic life processes - Answer 1. Metabolism 2. Responsiveness 3. Movement 4. Growth 5. Differentiation/specialization 6. Reproduction(of genes) 2M, 2R, GD metabolism - Answer the sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body - catabolism:...

Recording channel components (3) - Answer 1. Sensing device 2. Processor (has coupler and amplifier) 3. Recorder/producer one type of sensing device - Answer transducer Sensing Device - Answer A device that picks up information from the experimental set up. Transducer - Answer A device which transforms data or transduces a non-electrical signal into an electrical signal that the computer can understand. (type of sensing device) -Convert one form of energy to another (mechanical ...

C. the study of the function of living processes - Answer Physiology, in its broadest sense, is defined as: A. the study of structure and function of the organ systems B. the study of how animals’ function C. the study of the function of living processes D. the study of function of cells E. the study of how animals adapt to their environments B. symporters - Answer Trans-membrane proteins that function to transport two or more substances in the same direction across the membrane ...

O2 pathway - Answer environment air --> lungs --> blood --> tissue --> mitochondria CO2 pathway - Answer mitochondria --> tissue --> blood --> lungs --> environment air external respiration - Answer exchange of gas between the air in the lungs and the blood gas transport by blood - Answer transport of oxygen to the body cells and the return of carbon dioxide internal respiration - Answer exchange of gases between blood and body cells cellular...

What are the steps of respiration? (following O2 and then following CO2) - Answer 1) O2 from Environment air to the lung 2) Transport of O2 from the lung to the blood 3) Transport of O2 from blood to the tissue 4) Transport of O2 from the tissue to the mitochondria where cellular respiration takes place -Following CO2 is just the exact opposite starting with the decarboxylation in the TCA cycle external respiration - Answer exchanging O2/CO2 between air in lungs and blood gas trans...

A heart attack that results in 30% damage to the left ventricle is difficult to survive because: a. the LV has a low amount of muscle mass to begin with and cannot sustain that level of damage b. that level of damage compromises blood supply to the lungs, resulting in asphyxia c. the loss of muscle power prevents the left AV valve from closing d. the LV needs all its muscle mass to pump blood effectively through the resistance of the systemic circulation e. the damage prevents the ventricu...

uvula - Answer what separates the nasopharynx from the laryngopharynx? -internal nares (2) -eustachian tubes (ear canals)(2) - Answer what are the two types (4 total) of openings in the nasopharynx? swallowing muscles - Answer what causes the epiglottis to fold over and cover the glottis? elastic connective tissue (ECT) at the glottis (air passing over causes them to vibrate) - Answer what are vocal cords and where are they found? -[mostly] *elastic connective tissue ...

How does the dura mater differ in the spinal cord from the brain? - Answer Only one layer instead of two The epidural space consists of: - Answer Blood vessels, fat, and connective tissue What separates the epidural space and subdural space? - Answer Dura mater The subdurall space consists of: - Answer Serous fluid What separates the subdural space and subarachnoid space? - Answer Arachnoid Mater The subarachnoid space consists of: - Answer CSF What separates ...

3 broad functions of nervous system - Answer Sensory input Integration Motor output 2 different integration functions in the body - Answer 1. nervous (rapid; msecs) 2. endocrine (slower; sec, min, hours, days, months, years) - Lots of overlap between nervous and endocrine system what is the only cell type of the nervous system? - Answer neuron - initiates and transmits stimuli - Different kind of neurons STRUCTURALLY and Functionally - functionally: Sensory-afferent (PNS):...
