What is static equilibrium?
help to maintain the position of the head when
the head and body are still
the organs of static equilibrium are located within the bony vestibule
of the inner ear, inside the utricle and saccule (expansions of the
membranous labyrinth). A macula, consisting of hair cells and supporting
cells, lies inside the utricle and saccule
What is dynamic equilibrium?
help to maintain balance when the head and
body suddenly move and rotate
What is the difference between anatomy and physiology?
Anatomy is the study of the structure of body parts, whereas physiology is
the study of the function of body parts
,What are the levels of organization?
subatomic particles, atom, molecule, macromolecule, organelle, cell,
tissue, organ, organ system, organism
What are the requirements of life?
Water, food, oxygen, heat, pressure
What are the characteristics of life?
Movement (internal or gross); Responsiveness (reaction to internal or
external change); Growth (increase in size without change in shape);
Reproduction (new organisms or new cells); Respiration (use of oxygen;
removal of CO2); Digestion (breakdown of food); Absorption (movement of
substances through membranes and into fluids); Circulation (movement
within body fluids); Assimilation (changing nutrients into chemically
different forms); Excretion (removal of metabolic wastes)
Define homeostasis
Body's maintenance of a stable environment
,What is a homeostatic mechanism?
the body maintains homeostasis through a number of self-regulating
control systems; examples are regulating body temperature and pressure
sensitive receptors to regulate body pressure
Define matter
Anything that takes up space and has mass (weight). It is composed of
elements.
Define element
fundamental substance composed of chemically identical atoms
Define atoms
smallest particle of an element; basic unit of matter
What is the structure of an atom?
An atom consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with
electrons in
orbit around the nucleus.
Atomic nucleus
the nucleus contains protons and neutrons
Proton
, subatomic particle that has a positive charge
Neutron
subatomic particle that has no charge
Electron
subatomic particle that has a negative charge
Atomic number
number or protons in nucleus
Atomic mass
number of protons plus number of neutrons
What are covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons to become stable
with filled
