| Define Physiology. | The study of how the body & its parts function. |
| What is the term that means maintaining a stable environment in the body? | Homeostasis. |
| What is the terminology meaning the total of all physical & chemical processes occurring in the body? | Metabolism. |
| Organize these in the order of smallest to largest: systems,cells,organisms,tissues, organs. | Cells,tissues,organs,systems,organisms. |
| What is a cell? | Basic unit of life. |
| List the passive cell processes. | Diffusion, filtration, & osmosis. |
| What passive process moves molecules from high concentration to lower? | Diffusion. |
| What passive process moves a pure solvent (like water) from low concentration to high? | Osmosis. |
| What passive process moves particles across cell membranes due to pressure? | Filtration. |
| Name the Active Cell Processes. | Active transport & endocytosis. |
| Name the types of endocytosis. | Phagocytosis & Pinocytosis. |
| What active cell process moves important atoms & molecules against a concentration gradient from low levels to high? | Active transport. |
| What active cell process is considered to be a "cell eater" ingesting harmful microorganisms? | Phagocytosis. |
| What active cell process is considered to be a "cell drinker" surrounding its target via a saccular indention? | Pinocytosis. |
| What are the 4 major types of tissues in the body? | Epithelial, connective, muscle, & nervous. |
| What is the epithelial tissue? | Outer lining that protects, absorbs, & secretes. |
| List all the connective tissues. | Liquid (blood), osseus (bone), cartilaginous, loose, & dense. |
| What loose connective tissue forms the superficial fascia? | Areolar. |
| What dense connective tissue resists pulling in several different directions? | Irregular. |
| What loose connective tissue is specialized in fat storage and insulation? | Adipose. |
| Which dense connective tissue has great strength & can resist pulling forces in 1 direction: Regular or Elastic? | Regular. (Elastic can be stretched & restored to natural shape.) |
| What is the difference between superficial fascia and deep fascia? | Superficial is immediately under skin and deep fascia surrounds muscles holding them together and separating them into functioning groups. |
| What is the term that defines the fascia's ability to go from gel-state to sol-state? | Thixotropism. |
| What's the difference between fascia in gel-state and fascia in sol-state? | Gel-state means it's thicker and more GELatinous; Sol-state it's become a relatively thin fluid. |
| How does a massage therapist invoke the change to the fascia's property? | Applying friction (heat) to change from gel-state to sol-state. |
| List the 3 types of muscle tissue. | Skeletal (voluntary/striated), Smooth (involuntary,unstriated/visceral), Cardiac (involuntary,striated). |
| What type of muscle tissue is found in the esophagus? | Smooth. |
| What are the symptoms of inflammation? | Local heat, redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function. |
| List 3 basic types of membranes. | Mucous, serous (lubricates organs), & synovial (lubricates freely moving joints). |
| In the anatomical position the palms of the hands are facing backward - TRUE or FALSE | False. |
| Which cell process requires the use of ATP (energy)? | Active cell process |
