(37 cards)
creates an understanding on why each structure is as is based on function
anatomy
studying how parts of the body works
physiology
organization levels
chemical
tissue
organ level
organ system
organism
body systems
Muscular, Respiratory, Skeletal, Integumentary, Nervous, Cardiovascular, Lympatic & Immunity, Urinary, Digestive, Endocrine, Reproductive (MRS INCLUDER)
loss of one nucleus in some cells
annucleated
volemia
high amounts of fluid in the blood - hypervolemia
low amounts of fluid in the blood - hypovolemia
ability of the body to maintain stable internal conditions
homeostasis
homeostatic control
makes use of a stimuli that alters internal and external
sends information to the receptor
afferent pathway
receives the information and acts as the output
efferent pathway
decreases the effect or stops the stimulus
ex. feeling cold - stimuli
increasing body temp. to feel heat and shiver - response
negative feedback
inability to restore functional and stable internal environment
homeostatic imbalance
increases the stimulus to achieve greater response
usually occurs to women
positive feedback
standing tall with thumbs away from the body
anatomical position
patient is laying down and facing the ground
prone
patient is laying down and facing the ceiling
supine
body is divided in to anterior and posterior areas
coronal plane
body is divided unevenly left and right
mid-sagittal
body is divided evenly left and right
sagittal plane
body is divided into superior and inferior
transverse plane
contains the body, head, neck
axial
contains the arms and legs
appendicular
going down from the head
superior
going down to the food
inferior
