What is anatomy and physiology |
Structure and function of the human body |
|
How does function follow structure? Give examples. |
Structure determines function. Examples types of teeth incisors for cutting, canines for tearing, molars for grinding. And gallbladder is a sac-like structure with a function to store bile |
|
What's the characteristics of life. How is the metabolism involved? |
Respiration is obtaining oxygen and removing carbon dioxide cell respiration is O2 + glucose equals CO2 + H2O + ATP Assimilation is change absorbed substances and chemically different forms example sugar to fat Metabolism get food use energy plus execute its waste |
|
The structures and functions of almost all body parts |
Help maintain the life of the organism |
|
List the requirements of organisms |
1 water 2 Foods 3 oxygen 4 heat 5 pressure |
|
What is homeostasis? How is the internal and external environment involved? |
Condition of stable internal environment homeostasis conditions surrounding body cells internal environment outside temp pressure oxygen concentration stress external environment |
|
Describe the homeostatic mechanism railing body temperature understand the following terms negative feedback receptors setpoint and effectors. |
Negative feedback is a mechanism activated by an imbalance that controls it. Main reason called negative feedback is the correction that occurs reduces action of the effectors effector is causes response that alters conditions internally example sweat glands receptors receive stimulates about internal environment example nerves or Thermo scepters enter setpoint what a particular value should be example 98.6 degrees F and 37 degrees C |
