Q

what are 2 examples of positive feedback system?

A

childbirth (water break) & blood clotting (want to send more platelets to stop leak)

23
Q

what is anatomical position?

A

when the body is erect (straight), arms by side, palms facing forward

24
Q

what is another word for spine?

A

vertebral column

25
what is vasodilation?
blood vessels widen to increase blood flow & warmth
26
what is vasoconstriction?
narrows blood vessels to decrease blood pressure & sweats
27
why are nutrients needed for in survival?
energy & cell building
28
what makes up 60-80% of your body weight?
water
29
what survival need is for metabolic reaction?
water
30
why is oxygen needed for in survival?
to make oxidative chemical reactions, like ATP
31
what survival has a result of a correct reaction rate?
regulated body temperature
32
what is atmospheric pressure for?
for the respiratory system to work (because it needs oxygen)
33
what type of neurons do receptors have?
sensory neurons
34
what type of control mechanism detects temp, pressure, and bacteria?
receptor
35
what control mechanism has motor neurons?
effector
36
what is the control center part of the body?
brain which sends signals
37
where does a local disease affect?
certain part of the body
38
is strep throat a local or systematic disease?
local disease
39
what type of disease affects the entire body or several parts of the body?
systematic disease
40
what are signs?
changes that are observable or measured
41
what are symptons?
things you are feeling, cannot be observed
42
what are some examples of signs?
fever, rash
43
what are some examples of symptoms?
nausea, headache
44
what is set point?
the stabilized point that the body is trying to reach
45
what is local homeostatic imbalance?
only affects a certain part of the body, so only a certain part of the body is imbalanced
46
what is systematic homeostatic imbalance?
affects entire body, so entire body is imbalanced
47
what is homeostatic imbalance?
when body is not able to return to homeostasis
48
what are 4 signs of homeostatic imbalance?
1. increased heart rate 2. decreased blood pressure 3. fast breathing 4. decrease in urination frequencies
49
confusion, irritability, aggression, anxiety, listlessness, delirium are all symptoms of what?
homeostatic imbalance
50
what is cation?
lose electrons and become positively charged
51
what is anion?
gain electrons and become negatively charged
52
what is the charge of an electron?
negative
53
what is the charge of a neutron?
no charge
54
what is the charge of a proton?
positive
