Question Answer
the study of function or how the body works  physiology  
levels of organization of the body  elementary particles--atoms--molecules--organelles--cells--tissues--organs--organ systems--organism  
maintenance of a stable steady internal environment of constancy of environment  homeostasis  
3 associated areas of physiology  anatomy, physic, chemistry  
___ regulate the activities of all body parts  homeostatic processes  
deviations from ___ ___ trigger reactions that work to counteract or reverse the change  stable conditions  
a principle which demonstrates the effects of various factors or conditions on functional efficiency of the bodily processes  law of the maximum and minimum  
pH, temperature, ion balance, sugar, are factors that applies to  law of the maximum and minimum  
optimal range or range of tolerance is known as  law of the maximum and minimum  
a control mechanism in which a response feeds back to the original point of stimulation  basic feedback mechanism  
3 basic components of basic feedback mechanism  receptors, modulators, effectors  
stimulus--_____----_____-----_____---response  stimulus---receptor--modulator--effector-- response  
specialized sensory cells/tissues  receptors  
what are called control points or control centers  modulators  
muscles and glands which may affect other tissues are called  effectors  
negative and positive feedback are types of  feedback mechanisms  
the response cancels or counteracts the original stimulus is known as  negative feedback  
body temperature control is an ex of a type of  negative feedback  
the response amplifies or enhances the original stimulus is known as  positive feedback  
labor contractions is an ex of  positive feedback  
2 sources of homeostatic control are  intrinsic and extrinsic  
control coming from within an organ/tissue via chemicals produced within the organ/tissue itself  intrinsic  
control comes from outside the organ  extrinsic  
regulation by nervouse system via neurotransmitters is a type of ___ homeostatic control that lasts in duration  extrinsic and quicker and shorter in duration  
regulation by endocrine system bia hormones is a type of ____ homeostatic control that lasts in duration  extrinsic and slower and longer in duration  
biorhythms that fluctuate or cycle every 24 hourse are referred toas  circadian rhythms  
homeostatic mechanisms allow bodily functions to fluctuate within narrow limits  physiological rhythms  
___ allow bodily functions to have a dynamic equilibrium  physiological rhythms  
fluctuations thend to follow wave patterns called  biorhythms or physiological rhythms  
most important tissue, the ____ may acts as a biological clock  hypothalamus  
jet lag, work rotation, radical sleep schedule are causes of  desynchronosis  
effects of ___ are decrease congitive function, general depression , off sleep cycle, decrease visual acuity  desynchronosis  
circadian rhythms are controlled internally by a ___ which can be set by various external stimuli most important being ___  biological clock and light
