Lecture 1 Flashcards
(86 cards)
name the levels of organization
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system, organismal
define negative feedback loop
reverses a change, brings the body back to normal limits
**reverse back to original condition
define positive feedback loop
bringing/pushing the body outside normal limits
**enhancing original conditions
list the 4 body cavities
cranial, vertebral canal, thoracic, abdominopelvic
what organ system controls B and T cells
Lymphatic
list components that make up skeletal system
bones, cartilage, joints
what is included in the integumentary system
skin, nails, hair
list the 11 body systems
skeletal, muscular, endocrine, reproduction, urinary, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, nervous, integumentary
list some organs in the RUQ
liver, gallbladder, right kidney,
list some organs in the LUQ
stomach, spleen, pancreas, diaphragm
list some organs in the RLQ
appendix, cecum, ovaries, uterus
list some organs in the LLQ
small intestine, rectum, bladder
list the 5 types of fluid in the body
1)cerebrospinal fluid
2)aqueous
3)blood plasma
4)synovial
5)lymph
list the 6 characteristics of the human body
reproduction
growth
movement
responsiveness
metabolism
differentiation
define metabolism
the sum of all chemical reactions in the body
ex) turning food to energy
list the 4 types of tissue and describe each
epithelial - covers body surfaces(skin)
connective -connects, supports, delivers blood
muscular - contracts to generate heat & move body parts
nervous - carries info throughout the body via impulses
describe continuous tension
vs
discontinuous tension
continuous= muscle and fascia
discontinuous = bones
define what a feedback system is
used to control and regulate body processes
RECEPTOR-CONTROL CENTER - EFFECTOR
where does a visceral membrane occur in the body
covers organs
where does a parietal membrane occur in the body
lines cavity walls (inside abdomen)
list some examples of cells in our bodies
nerves
muscle
liver
epithelial
define homeostasis
the body’s state of balance
** maintaining fluid is one of the most vital aspects**
define tensegrity
an action in one part of your body will affect another part
STRUCTURE DICTATES FUNCTION
