Human life depends on what 5 environmental factors? - ANSWER-1) water
2) food
3) oxygen
4) heat
5) pressure
1) Water - ANSWER--most abundant substance in body
- environment for metabolic processes
-required for transport of substance
-regulation of body temperature
2) Food - ANSWER--provides necessary nutrients
-supplies energy
-supplies raw materials for building living tissue
3) Oxygen (gas) - ANSWER--one fifth of air
-used to release energy from nutrients
4) Heat - ANSWER--heat is a form of energy in out environment
- helps maintain body temperature
- partly controls rate of metabolic reactions
5) Pressure - ANSWER--application of force on an object
- atmospheric pressure// important for breathing
-hydrostatic pressure// keeps blood flowing
anatomy - ANSWER-study of the structure/morphology of the human body and its parts
physiology - ANSWER-study of the functions of the human body and its parts
List the levels of organization from simplest to most complex. - ANSWER-subatomic
particles
atom
molecule
macro-molecule
organelle
cell
tissue
organ
,organ system
organism
cell - ANSWER--composed of organelles
-the basic units of structure and function of the body
tissue - ANSWER-layer or mass of cells with specific function
organ - ANSWER-group of different tissues with a function
system/ organ system - ANSWER-group of organs with common function
homeostasis - ANSWER-maintenance of a stable internal environment
metabolism - ANSWER-all of the chemical reactions in an organism that support life
positive feedback loop - ANSWER--homeostatic mechanism
-response enhances or exaggerates original stimulus
-uncommon in body
-short lived
-examples are contractions in labor by oxytocin and platelet plug formation+ blood
clotting
negative feedback loop - ANSWER--homeostatic mechanism
-most feedbacks in the body
-response reduces or shuts off original stimulus/ goes in opposite direction
-examples are regulation of body temperature, regulation of blood glucose by insulin
Identify the parts of a basic homeostatic mechanism. - ANSWER-1) receptor
2) control center
3) effector
1) receptor - ANSWER-detects and provides information about the stimuli
2) control center - ANSWER-decision- maker that maintains the set point
3) effector - ANSWER-muscle or gland that responds to the control center and causes
the necessary change in the internal enviroment
