Physiology Test review (baby Bio)
What is physiology? - Answers-The science of biological function
What is the organization levels in multicellular organisms? - Answers-Atom -> molecule -> cell -> tissue -
> organ -> organ system -> organism
What is homeostasis? What are examples? - Answers-• Maintenance of a constant internal environment
despite external changes, or changes caused by variation in biological activity within cells, tissues, and
organs
• Short-Term: running; Long-Term: high altitudes
• Maintain body temp, heat production, blood glucose concentration, blood and cellular protein
concentration
What is the importance of understanding both normal physiology and pathophysiology? - Answers-•
Pathophysiology: changes in physiology associated with disease
• Helps us to better relate and assist people who experience these diseases
• Helps us develop a better understanding of normal physiological processes
What are the benefits of biomedical research for individuals, families, and society? - Answers-Reducing
disease incidence and severity because of the physical, emotional, and financial toll on those affected
What system is blood part of? - Answers-Circulatory -> Cardiovascular system
, Why is blood considered a type of connective tissue, even though it's a fluid? - Answers-Connects cells
throughout our body as it continuously circulates within blood vessels
What are the major cellular components of blood and blood plasma and their functions? - Answers-•
Blood
- Red blood cells
1. transports oxygen
- White blood cells (leukocytes)
1. Defend against infectious agents (immune system)
- Platelets
1. Blood clotting
- Plasma
1. Carries red cells, white cells, and platelets and provides nutrients
2. Maintain homeostasis and our health
• Blood Plasma
- Water
- Electrolytes
1. Buffer blood pH to maintain homeostasis
- Small molecules dissolved gasses and food molecules
1. Breakdown of bigger molecules (oils and fats)
- Proteins
1. Helps transport molecules that aren't dissolvable in water (blood bound proteins: steroid hormones)
- Chemical signals (hormones)
1. Response to different stimuli (low blood O2 triggers EPO from kidneys)
