Human Physiology Exam With 100%
Correct Answers
Physiology - correct answers ✔✔the science of a biological function
Homeostasis - correct answers ✔✔maintenance of a constant internal environment
ex: maintenance of body temperature despite changes in environmental temperature,
variations in heat production by the body,and maintenance in blood glucose concentration
despite changes in dietary composition.
Pathophysiology - correct answers ✔✔study of disease ------> Failure to maintain homeostasis
over the full range of physical conditions
-can help to cure diseases, it is beneficial to society and the economy
Bloods role - correct answers ✔✔1. transport molecules (O2 and CO2 & blood cells)
2.protection against infections (immune system)
3.Repair (clotting/coagulation)
4.temperature regulation (heat transport)
Blood Transports - correct answers ✔✔-Oxygen,Carbon Dioxide, Glucose, Nutrients, Hormones,
Waste, and Electrolytes, Heat
-Heat is also transported in blood but is not generated
Composition of blood - correct answers ✔✔Red blood cells
White blood cells
, Plasma
Platelets (cell fragments)
Red blood cells (erythrocytes) - correct answers ✔✔transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
(contains hemoglobin)
made in the red bone marrow by stem cells
O2 and CO2 - correct answers ✔✔are also found in plasma and cytoplasm of blood cells
Hemoglobin - correct answers ✔✔oxygen binding protein contain in the red blood cells
Hematocrit - correct answers ✔✔tells us how much oxygen our blood can carry ( the higher the
________the higher the composition of red blood cells)
Bicarbonate (H2CO3) - correct answers ✔✔is how carbon dioxide (CO2) is transported in the
blood
Carbonic Anhydrase - correct answers ✔✔a protein enzyme contained in the red blood cells
that facilitates the process of turning carbon dioxide into Bicarbonate and later Bicarbonate is
converted back to carbon dioxide in the lungs
White blood cells (leukocytes) - correct answers ✔✔play an active role in the immune system by
helping fight infections.
- are made in red bone marrow by stem cells
Types of White blood cells - correct answers ✔✔neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils,
lymphocytes
