Cards

Term
Physiology
Definition

Study of function (how human organs work)

 

Term
Study of form (how is it put together, what it looks like)
Definition
Morphology
Term
a steady state, a condition in which internal enviornment remains a physiological limit dispite enviornmental imbalance
Definition
homeostasis
Term

Limits 10 degrees F

-5     98.6    +5

enviornment range 250 degree F

 

Definition
temperature
Term
physilogical response/solution
Definition

too cold- shivering

too hot- sweating

Term
stimulus iniates actions that reverse the stimulus
Definition

negative feedback

 

ex. High Bloof glucose- release of hormone, insulin- lowers blood glucose

Term
simulus that iniates sctions that amplify the stimulus
Definition

positive feedback

 

ex. uterus contrastions during labor- brain releases oyytocin- contracts harder

Term

1. fluid inside the cell

 

2. fluid outside (between) cell.

Definition

intracellular fluid (ICF)

 

interstitial fluid (ISF)

Term
anything in plasma can cross the boundary except plasma proteins
Definition
capulary wall
Term

Like dissolves like

 

hydrophylic= polar  C-H-O-N

hydrophobic= nonpolar C-H

 

main functions of phospholipids is structural support

and a barrier to large hydrophylic molecules

 

 

Definition
cell membrane
Term

Most important molecule in cell membrane

  1. channels for diffusion of polar or charges molecules
  2. transport of polar or charges molecules
  3. structure support
  4. act as enzymes- catalyzing surface reactions
  5. cellular markers- ABO blood group
  6. receptors- neurotransmitters and hormones
Definition
integral proteins
Term
fluids flow from high to low until even
Definition
pressure gradient
Term
  1. simple diffusion
  2. osomosis
  3. pressure driven flow

 

Definition
capulary wall
Term
  1. simple diffusion
  2. osomosis
  3. facilitated diffusion
  4. active transport
  5. cotransport
  6. endo/exocytosis

 

 

Definition

cell membrane

 

facilitated diffusion, active transport and cotransport require integral proteins

Term
how well membrane allows specific molecules through
Definition
permability
Term

-simple diffusion of H20

 

 

Definition
osomosis
Term
in osomosis the cell and ISF are ISOtonic
Definition

water flowing in makes it HYPERtonic

 

water flowing out makes it HYPOtonic

Term

to much water= hemolysis

 

not enough water = shriveling of cells

Definition
IV fluids
Term

-plasma proteins are only located INSIDE the cell

 

Definition
PCOP= Plasma colloid osmotic pressure
Term

high to low concentration gradient

 

passive- no ATP needed, requires proteins, then integral proteins will form channels or gates

Definition
faciliated diffusion
Term
facilicated diffusion proteins....
Definition
  1. Glucose GLUT transport protein
  2. Cysteinuria- Cystine
  3. Ion Gates
Term
Low to high movement and requires ATP
Definition
Active transport
Term

2000 kcal/day

 

sodium/potassuim pump is 1/3 or BMR

 

Ca++ pump

Definition
BMR= Basal Metabolic rate
Term

transport that involves membrane proteins

 

endo/exocytosis

Definition
co-transport
Term
as a group of cells reponsible for sensing envoirnment challenges and integrating the organisms reponse.
Definition
nervous system
Term
Nervous system-  tell that organ what to do
Definition
endocrine system- hormones
Term

Neuron

 

  1. cell
  2. functional cell in nervous system
  3. 100 billion cells in body, which is 10% of total cells
Definition

nerve

 

a bundle of neurons

Term

sensory

integrative

motor

Definition
functional divisions of neurons
Term

detects enviornmental challenges

 

peripheral nervous system (PNS)

Definition
sensory divisions of nervous system
Term

makes decisions

 

(CNS) central nervous system

 

in spine and brain

Definition
integrative division if nervous system
Term

a functional division that taking action decision requires wires to muscle change

 

type od muscle sitmulated

 

 

ex. skeletal and smooth/cardiac

 

 

Definition
motor
Term
somatic motor nervous system is what
Definition
skeletal motor functional division of nervous system
Term
autonomic motor nervous system
Definition
Term

in emergency                                 vegetative

 

sympathetic NS                            parasympathetic NS

 

to organ                                            to organ

Definition
autonomic motor NS
Term
this signal seperates into serperate signal wiring to reduce confusion
Definition
parasympathetic
Term

transduction

modality

adaptation

intensity

Definition
sensory physiology
Term
converting stimulus energy into an electrical signal
Definition
transduction of sensory nerves
Term
correctly interpret elecrical signals as a message about a specific sensation
Definition
modality
Term
decreased sensivity to continuous stimuli
Definition
adaptation
Term

_____ receptors to not adapt, they continue to release information

 

1. pain

2. balance

Definition
tonic
Term
stronger stimuli causes stronger responses
Definition
intensity
Term
what is sensed with receptors?
Definition

photoreceptors

nociceptors

thermoreceptors

chemoreceptors

mechanoreceptors

Term
chemicals= blood, gut, taste, smell
Definition
chemoreceptors
Term
mechanical disturbance= hearing, equlilbrium, touch, stretch
Definition
mechanorecetpors
Term

support cells of nervous system

 

50% of cells in NS

Definition
glial cells
Term
