Physiology: An Integrated Approach - Chapter 1
1. Circulatory System: heart, blood vessels, blood
- transport of materials between all cells of the body
2. Digestive System: stomach, intestine, liver, pancreas
-conversion of food particles transported in the body, elimination of wastes
3. Endocrine System: thyroid gland, adrenal gland
-coordination of body function through synthesis and release regulatory molecules
4. Immune System: thymus, spleen, lymph nodes
-defense against foreign invaders
5. Integumentary System: skin
-protection from external environment
6. Musculoskeletal System: skeletal muscle, bones
-support and movement
7. Nervous System: brain, spinal cord
-coordination of body function through electrical signals and release of regulatory
muscles
8. Reproductive System: ovaries, uterus, testes
-perpetuation of the species
9. Respiratory System: lungs, airways
-exchange of oxygen and CO2 between internal and external environments
10. Urinary System: kidneys, bladder
-maintenance of water and solutes in the internal environment; waste removal
11. Physiology: the study of how the body and its parts work or function
12. Teological approach: function explains the "why"
13. Mechanistic approach: process or mechanism describes the "how"
14. Homeostasis: regulation of body's internal environment
15. Successful compensation of Homeostasis: Wellness/ Homeostasis
16. Failure to compensate Homeostasis: Disease
17. Keeping Homeostasis stable: -keeping internal environments stable
-interactions between outside world, extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid
18. Cells contain: -Intracellular fluid (ICF)
-membrane separates cells from ECF
-cells are surrounded by ECF
-should be in equilibrium
