(56 cards)
Metabolism
use energy from chemical reactions
Responsiveness
when we sense changes & we can adapt
Growth
increase in size & amount of cells
Development
changes of organism overtime
Within development,
what is DIFFERENTIATION?
change from a general to specific function
Within development,
what is MORPHOGENESIS?
change in organ, tissue, organism
Reproduction
formation of new cells/organisms for growth and development
What is homeostasis?
maintenance of constant internal environment in body
Variables move around a ________ to establish a _______ ______ of valves
set-point ; normal range
How does homeostasis work again? (HINT: how do variables work)
variables move around SET-POINT to establish a NORMAL RANGE of valves
How is homeostasis regulated?
by feedback loops (mainly negative)
What are the 2 types of feedback loops?
-Negative feedback
-Positive feedback
What is negative feedback?
reversed or reduced process
What is positive feedback?
increased process
What is an example of negative feedback?
thyroid hormones
What is an example of positive feedback?
delivery of baby
Between negative & positive feedback, which one is LESS COMMON?
Positive feedback (ex: delivering baby)
Between negative & positive feedback, which one is MORE COMMON?
Negative feedback (normal T3/T4 hormones)
What are the 3 components in any feedback loop?
(HINT: REC)
Receptor
Effector
Control center
What is a RECEPTOR in a feedback loop?
MONITORS value of variable & DETECTS STIMULUS
What is the CONTROL CENTER in a feedback loop?
establish set-point & receive input
What is the EFFECTOR in a feedback loop?
generates response that CHANGES VALUE of variable
What is the Supine position?
body is laying down and face forward (ex: having surgery)
What is the Prone position?
body is laying down and face down
(ex: getting a back massage)
