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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
