Anatomy - answersthe study of structure (where's it located?....what does it look like?)
Physiology - answersthe study of function at many level (how's it built?....how's it work?)
Subdivisions of Anatomy - answersGross
Macroscopic
Microscopic
Developmental
Principle of Complementarity - answersAnatomy and Physiology are inseparable
function always reflects structure
what a structure can do depends on its specific form
Level of Structural Organization (in order-smallest to largest) - answersChemical (atoms
and molecules)
Cellular (cells and their organelles)
Tissue (groups of similar cells)
Organ (contains two or more types of tissues)
Organ System (organs that work closely together)
Organismal (all organ systems--the entity itself)
11 Major Organ Systems - answersIntegumentary System
Skeletal System
Muscular System
Nervous System
Endocrine System
Lymphatic/Immune System
, Digestive System
Reproductive System
Urinary System
Cardiovascular System
Respiratory System
Necessary Life Functions (8 total) - answersMaintaining Boundaries
Movement
Responsiveness
Digestion
Metabolism
Excretion
Reproduction (increasing in number)
Growth (increasing in size)
Survival Needs (5 total) - answersNutrients
Oxygen
Water
Normal body temp.
Appropriate atmospheric pressure
Homeostasis - answersmaintenance of a relatively stable internal environment despite
continuous outside changes (a dynamic state of equilibrium)
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms - answersNegative Feedback (regulating body
tempand regulating of bld volume in ADH) & Positive Feedback(INHANCEMENT OF
LABOR CONTRACTIONS OR BLOOD CLOTTING
(*once positive feedback achieves what it needs, negative feedback stops it*) nervous
and endocrine systems
Components of a Control Mechanism - answersReceptor (sensor)
Control Center (determines set point at which variable is maintained)
Effector (response act to reduce or enhance the stimulus/feedback)
Chemical reactions - answerschemical bonds are formed rearranged or broken
States of Matter - answersSOLID (definite shape and volume)
LIQUID (definite volume, changeable shape)
GAS (changeable volume and shape)
Kinetic Energy - answersanything in motion or in the process of being used
Potential Energy - answersstored or inactive energy (turns into kinetic once put into
motion)
Principle forms of energy (can transition through all) - answers-Chemical energy
