Define the terms anatomy and physiology

Anatomy: The study of the structure of the body and its parts—what they are made of and where they are located. For example, anatomy examines organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys, as well as tissues and cells. Physiology: The study of the function

Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment. It ensures that conditions like temperature, pH, blood sugar, and water balance stay within a narrow, healthy range.

Oxytocin is a hormone and neurotransmitter produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It plays important roles in both the body and brain.

explain how digestion, circulation, and growth are metabolically related.

igestion, circulation, and growth are all metabolically connected because they work together to provide, transport, and use energy and nutrients that the body needs.

What diseases may result in a patient with an endomorph somatotype and a waist-to-hip ratio of 1:2

A patient with an endomorph somatotype (naturally higher body fat, rounder body shape, and tendency to store fat in the abdomen) and a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of 1:2 (which actually indicates a smaller waist relative to hips, often considered a “pear-sha

Anterior is an anatomical term that refers to the front of the body or a structure being toward the front.

Name the four basic components of a control loop.

A control loop is a system the body uses to maintain homeostasis. The four basic components are: Receptor (sensor) – Detects changes in the internal or external environment (stimuli). Example: Thermoreceptors in the skin detect temperature changes.

Define and give an example of an isotope.

An isotope is a variant of a chemical element that has the same number of protons (same atomic number) but a different number of neutrons, which means it has a different atomic mass. Carbon-12 (¹²C) and Carbon-14 (¹⁴C) are both isotopes of carbon.

Explain why water is said to be polar

Water is said to be polar because it has an uneven distribution of electrical charge across its molecule.

What is catabolism? What function does it serve?

Catabolism is a metabolic process in which larger, complex molecules are broken down into smaller, simpler molecules. This process releases energy that the body can use to fuel various functions, such as muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and maintainin
