25
Define the CELL level of organization and what level is it out of the four?
basic units of life, first
26
Define the groups of cells with specific function level of organization and what level is it out of the four?
blood, nerves, muscles, and coverings
27
What does the second level of inertial organization believe in?
cell specialization
28
What is cell specialization?
- blood cell is differnt than nerve cell - muscle cell is different than skin cell
29
What is the third level of internal organization?
Organs
30
Define the Organ level of organization?
groups of tissue with a major function
31
what are examples of organs?
heart, brain, skin, 2 lungs, etc...
32
what are systems?
groups of organs with big functions
33
what is homeostasis?
all systems go
34
clinical death?
when the heart stops completely
35
when is the person pronounced dead and paper is signed?
death certificate is determined and signed when heart stops beating
36
what is brain death?
this means there is no brain function ( has to be zero) BUT the heart beats while assisted by a machine or naturally
37
what happens to the brain cells in brain death?
they do not replace themselves
38
T or F. It is possible for people to live for up to months after being pronounced brain dead do to machine help?
true
39
who helps transition the patient and the parents through the tough brain dead time?
team of hospis people
40
average life expectancy in 2016?
79
41
why has age increased?
- jump in life years is because of techonology (diagnostic tests), and medical advances/procedures
42
what is the top method of death?
Heart Related (strokes, aneurysms)
43
what is the second top method of death?
Cancer
44
What is the third top method of death?
Accidental or Non - Medical (includes suicide) non medical is most addictions
45
what does non medical include?
most addictions
