BLG 101 Chapter 1 & 2
Anatomy - answerThe study of body structure
Physiology - answerStudy of function
Macroscopic Anatomy - answerThe study of structures that can be seen without
magnification
Regional Anatomy - answerlooks at all structures in a particular area of the body
System anatomy - answerlooks at just one system (cardiovascular, nervous, muscular,
etc.)
Microscopic Anatomy - answerdeals with structures too small to be seen with the naked
eye
Development Anatomy - answerstudies the growth and development of an organism
during its lifetime
Anatomy and Physiology - answerStructure or function of the body/ working system
Function always reflects structure
Requirements for life - answermaintaining boundaries,
movement,
responsiveness,
digestion
, metabolism
, excretion
, reproduction,
growth
survival needs - answernutrients, oxygen, water, body temperature, atmospheric
pressure
, Homeostasis - answerA tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the
regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular
level
Receptor - answermonitors environment and responds to stimuli
control center - answerdetermines the set point, which is the level or range at which a
variable is to be maintained
receives input from receptor
- determines an appropriate response to effector
Effector - answerreceives output from the control center and produces a response
response either reduces stimulus (negtive feedback) or enhances stimuli (positive feed
back)
ionic bonds - answerFormed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom
to another
covlent bond - answerbond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms
hydrogen bond - answerweak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom
sythesis reaction - answera reaction in which two or more substances react to form a
single substance
decomposition reaction - answera reaction in which a single compound breaks down to
form two or more simpler substances
exchange reaction - answerParts of the reacting molecules are shuffled around to
produce new products
inorganic compounds - answerCompounds that do not contain carbon
water
salts
many acids and bases
organic compounds - answerCompounds that contain carbon, are usually large and are
covalently bonded
carbohydrates, fats, protiens and nucleic acids
acids - answerproton donors
bases - answerproton acceptors
Buffer - answerresists change in pH
