What general term refers to any structure that separates differing
environments? - Correct Answer - Barrier
What is formed by a difference in specific physical or chemical values
between two regions? - Correct Answer - gradient
What term describes a force that opposes flow along a gradient?
- Correct Answer - resistance
Which term describes a location farther from an origin, such as the wrist
in comparison to the elbow?
- Correct Answer - distal
What are the three planes in which the body can be cut?
- Correct Answer - sagittal, frontal (coronal), transverse (horizontal)
What are the three central regions of the abdomen? - Correct Answer -
epigastric, umbilical, hypogastric
,What are the three regions on the right and left of the abdomen, superior
to inferior? - Correct Answer - Hypochondriac, lumbar, iliac ( inguinal)
What are the special sense organs? - Correct Answer - Eyes, ears,
tastebuds, and organs of smell
What are the receptors of general senses? - Correct Answer - Pain and
touch
endocrine system organs - Correct Answer - endocrine glands
Endocrine glands are grouped together because - Correct Answer -
They share a similar function
All endocrine glans produce - Correct Answer - Hormones which
regulate body activities such as growth, nutrient utilization, and
reproduction
The _ bond holds together the amino acids of the proteins - Correct
Answer - peptide bond
Enzymes are _ which act as catalyst thereby increasing the speed of
chemical reactions. - Correct Answer - proteins
What are the studies of the body structure and body function called? -
Correct Answer - anatomy and physiology
,What do organs working together combine to form? - Correct Answer -
systems
Homeostasis - Correct Answer - Maintains a state of internal balance or
constancy
Regulated variables - Correct Answer - must be kept with a narrow
range
Body temperature, the volume and composition of body fluids, blood gas
concentration, and blood pressure are examples of - Correct Answer -
Regulated variables
Disease can be described as - Correct Answer - A state of homeostatic
imbalance
The main method for maintaining homeostasis - Correct Answer -
negative feedback
Negative feedback is - Correct Answer - A control system based on
information returning to a source
Negative feedback means - Correct Answer - An opposite response to
stimulus
Negative feedback loop must contain: - Correct Answer - A sensor, a
control center, an effector
, An effector - Correct Answer - Increases or decreases its activity, as
necessary, in response to signals from the control center
Two important characteristics of regulated variables - Correct Answer -
They have specific sensors, and their level cannot vary too much without
harming the organism
Example of body function that the body controls but are not considered
regulated variables - Correct Answer - Sweating is controlled, but sweat
production is the action of an effector (sweat glands)that helps maintain
the regulated variable of body temperature. The body doesn't directly
sense now much sweat is produced
Differentiate between extracellular and intracellular fluid - Correct
Answer - intra means within, extra means outside
The body's ability to maintain homeostasis relies on - Correct Answer -
Barriers
intracellular fluid - Correct Answer - fluid within cells
Extra cellular fluid - Correct Answer - fluid outside the cell
Blood plasma, lymph and the fluid between cell tissues - Correct Answer
- Examples of extracellular fluids
The larger the gradient the... - Correct Answer - Greater the flow
