|
Define the terms chemistry, physics, and matter. State how these concepts relate to homeostasis.
|
Chemistry- science concerned with structure and compositon of matter
Physics- the laws of matter Matter-anything that occupies space Chemistry is the basis of homeostasis, which is the dynamic balance of anatomy and physiology. |
|
|
State the three types of matter and describe the three states of matter.
|
Element, Compound and Mixture.
Solid, Liquid and Gas. |
|
|
Describe the basic organization of atoms, elements, compounds, and mixture.
|
Atom is the smallest part of any element. 2 or more elements form a compound. A mixture is a blend of any two or more elements without forming a compound.
|
|
|
Explain the difference between a physical and chemical change.
|
Physical change is visible from outward change but the chemical property will stay the same. EX: Ice to water to gas.
A Chemical Change is when one substance changes to another or the compounds break down into atoms of elements. When there is a chemical change substances change into other substances. EX: Combustion or Oxidation |

|
Describe the four basic structural levels of the body, differentiating among each level.
|

|
|
|
Identify the basic structural elements of the human cell, describing the functions of each element.
|
Cells may be round, spherical, rectangular, or irregular.
|
|
|
Define contractility, conductivity, irritability, and reproduction as they relate to the human cell.
|
PG 135 Contractility are muscle cells that can stretch or contract. Conductivity is nerve cells are specialized to send and receive impulses. Irritability is when cells respond to stimuli. Reproduction is when cells duplicate themselves.
|
|
|
List the four major types of tissue. Give an example of each.
|
Epithelial-Skin, Muscle-Heart, Connective-Blood, Nerve-Neurons
