What are the three essential concepts for the study of the human body
|
function is due to structure,the body is organized in a hiearchal way, and homeostasis
|
|
difference bt anatomy and physiology
|
anatomy studies the structure of body parts and relationship to one another, and phys studies the fuction of the body parts
|
|
Study of large body parts, visible to eye
|
Gross anatomy or macroscopic
|
|
Study of structures cant be seen my naked eye
|
Microscopic anatomy
|
|
In regional anatomy you would study what, give an example
|
a region of the body, say stomach whats under it, or your back whats under it
|
|
In surface anatomy you study what..
|
to locate blood vessels to draw blood and stuff
|
|
T?F
Physiology mainly concerns with macroscopic functions |
F, events at the cellular or molecular level
|
|
Function always reflects structure
|
True
|
|
What is the principle of complementarity of structure and function
|
what a structure can do depends on its form
|
|
Give examples of the principle of complementarity of structure and function
|
blood flows one way cuz of valves in blood vessels
|
|
What is the simplest level of structural organization in the human body
|
that on the chemical level
|
|
Organelles are the smallest unit of living things
|
False
|
|
Tissues are two or more different types of cells together for one function
|
F, a group of similar cells that have a common function
|
|
What are the four basic types of tissue
|
connective, muscle, neural, epithelium
|
|
Epithelial tissue lines cavities
|
T
|
|
What is the role of connective tissue
|
support and protect body
|
|
An organ is composed of at least....tissue types
|
two
|
|
Organs that work together for one purpose
|
organ system
|
|
The highest level of organization is
|
the organism
|
|
Organ systems work in isolation
|
F
|
|
All body cells are interdependent
|
T
|
|
To maintain life you must
|
maintain boundaries, have movement, be responsive, digest, have metabolism, excrete, reproduce, are responsive, and grow
|
|
The muscle cells ability to move by shortening is
|
contractility
|
|
why do living things maintain boundaries
|
so that its internal environment is different from the external environmnet, to retain an internal environment
|
|
Another word for responsiveness
|
irritability
|
|
Only nervous tissue is respopnsive
|
F, all cells are irratible to some extent
|
|
All chemical reactions that occur within bod cells is
|
metabolism
|
|
Is the digestive system involved in excretion
|
yes
|
|
Cells duplication itself for body growth and repair is oddly thought of as
|
reproduction
|
|
The goal of all body systems is to
|
maintain life
|
|
What factors must be present for survival
|
oxygen, water, nutrients, the right temperature, and the right atomspheric pressure
|
|
To release energy from food, you must have what
|
Oxygen
|
|
If body temp drops below this temp, metabolic reactions start to slow down
|
98
|
|
For breathing and gas exchange, you must have the right
|
atmospheric pressure
|
|
Homeostasis means a static unchanging state
|
literally yes when translated , but in medicine it means a dynamic state of equilibrium
|
|
For homeostasis, can internal states vary
|
yes, but within a relatively narrow limit
|
