Caused by histamine ▪ Heat (warm to touch)- Vasodilation. Caused by histamine ▪ Swelling (edema)- Increased capillary permeability. Caused by histamine.

Pathology Concepts Homeostasis • The tendency to maintain balance/stability internally • Self-regulating, give-and-take system • Compensatory mechanisms: strategies that make up for the chan ges and return the body to its normal state • Two feedback systems: - Positive feedback: formation of blood clot while bleeding, child birth - Negative feedback: control of elevated blood sugar by insulin Histology: cause or reason for a disease • May include infectious agents, chemicals, environme...

TEST BANK NEUROSCIENCE Exploring the Brain (2015, WOLTERS KLUWER) MARK F. BEAR, BARRY W. CONNORS, MICHAEL A. PARADISO 1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach required for understanding the brain? Choose the correct option. A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain serving as the common point of focus. B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the structure of the water molecule to the electrical and chemica...

A clay soil has a liquid limit of 60%, a plastic Limit of 20% and a natural, in situ water content of 25%, The clay in the natural, in situ state would likely: a) be normally consolidated b) have a high compressibility c) have a stiff consistency d) have a soft consistency have a stiff consistency An Aeolian soil is a soil which is formed by: a) deposition of soil particles along or a base of a slope by gravity b) transportation and deposition of soil particles by wind c) eros...

PATHO STUDY GUIDE: FINAL EXAM! Stress increases functional demand  adaptations: hypertrophy, hyperplasia, atrophy, metaplasia, dysplasia)  Stress is reversible – when it’s relieved cell returns to normal  Irreversible stress – too much damage  necrosis Reversible Stress Types 1. Atrophy: decreased size of cell due to decreased functional demand  Overall decrease tissue mass  Muscle can atrophy if not used because of injury, neuromuscular dysfunction (i.e. spinal co...

FINAL EXAM BSC2086 Chapter 17: Endocrine System 1) What is the main difference between endocrine and exocrine glands? - Exocrine glands have ducts and endocrine glands are ductless 2) What i s a hormone? - A chemical messenger that is transported by the bloodstream and stimulate physiological responses in cells of another tissue or organ. 3) What is the name given to an organ or tissue that is influenced by a given hormone? - A target organ 4) Name the location, target organ or tissue and princi...

Suppose you went bowling, but instead of a bowling ball you rolled a ping pong ball down the alley. What do you think would happen? No strike would be achieved,since the ping pong ball is not big enough to knock off any of the pins 2. Suppose you rolled a lot of ping pong balls at the bowling pins. Do you think that would change the results of your experiment? Explain. Same event will take place,none of the pins would be knocked,because the base are small,but knock off a pin the need to gen...

Solution We are to define internal, external, and open-channel flows. Analysis External flow is the flow of an unbounded fluid over a surface such as a plate, a wire, or a pipe. The flow in a pipe or duct is internal flow if the fluid is completely bounded by solid surfaces. The flow of liquids in a pipe is called open-channel flow if the pipe is partially filled with the liquid and there is a free surface, such as the flow of water in rivers and irrigation ditches. Discussion As we shall s...

CHAPTER 1 Anatomy – the science of body structures and the relationship among them Physiology – The science of body functions – how body parts work Dissection – careful cutting apart of body structures to study their relationships Levels of Structural Organization: Chemical (letters of alphabet) – most basic level that includes atoms and molecules atoms → smallest units of matter that participate in chemical reactions molecules → two+ atoms joined together Cellular – (wo...
