Muscles can act on what joints?
Only joints they cross over
Homeostasis
Homeo - same
Stasis - standing still
Homeostasis defined
The condition of equilibrium, or balance in the body’s internal and external environment, which remains relatively constant.
Maintained within the body by using a feedback mechanism.
Body’s internal environment
We are a bag of fluid
Important aspect of homeostasis is by regulating it’s body fluid: volume and composition
Feedback mechanism
Negative and positive
Actions/ mechanism that keep us in balance
Triggered by a stimulus or change in our environment
Receptors detect change
Body reacts
+ (positive) = increase
- (negative) = decrease
Positive Feedback mechanisms
Stimulators
Feedback increases the stimulus until something stops the process
Example: Giving birth
Negative feedback mechanisms
Primary feedback mechanism
Inhibitory
Feedback triggers mechanism to stop stimulus (in the opposite direction)
Example: Change in temperature or blood pressure
Homeostasis regulates
How much fluid there is
Where the fluids needs to be
And what’s in it
Urinary system
Structures
Anatomy structure : kidney
Accessory structures:
ureters,
urinary bladder &
urethra
Urinary system
Functions
Produces, stores and eliminates waste
Regulates volume and chemical composition of the blood
Helps maintain the acid-base balance (ph) of blood fluids
Maintains mineral balance
Helps regulate production of RBC’s (red blood cells)
Respiratory system
Upper & lower
Respiratory system
Upper
Nose Pharynx (throat) Nasopharynk Oropharynk Laryngopharynk Larynx (voice box)
Respiratory system
Lower structures
Trachea (windpipe)
Bronchial tubes
Lungs
Respiratory system functions
Transfers oxygen from inhaled air to blood
Transfers carbon dioxide from blood to exhaled air
Helps regulate acid-base balance of body fluids
Produces sound: air flowing through larynx creates sound
