🗑
Why is physiology important?   1. Be able to understand the human body 2. Diagnosis 3. Explanations 4. Treatment 5. Understanding research and applications to your practice  
🗑
What percentage range of the body is composed of water?   55% - 80%  
🗑
The average % of water compostion for the adult body is?   56%  
🗑
Normal full hydration is what percentage of water composition?   72%  
🗑
The american surgeon general states ___________ is the next major medical problem in the U.S.   Obesity  
🗑
What country is the most obese population in history?   U.S.  
🗑
If you were to cash in the total amount of elements in your body to pay for your Chiropractic Education what dollar amount would you receive?   $3.86  
🗑
What ration of the bodies water is extracellular?   1/3  
🗑
What ration of the bodies water is intracellular?   2/3  
🗑
Water within the body is in constant motion via ________?   Osmosis  
🗑
What are the main ions found in extracellular and intracellular fluid?   Na+, K+, Cl-  
🗑
Other than Na+, K+, Cl- what else is found in extracellular and intracellular fluid?   Nutrients, O2, Glucose, Fatty Acids, Amino Acids, Cellular Waste Products such as: CO2, H+, and large amounts of Heat.  
🗑
What nutrients are found in intracellular fluid?   O2, Glucose, Fatty Acids, and Amino Acids  
🗑
Who came up with the concept of Homeostasis?   Claude Bernard  
🗑
What is homeostasis?   The maintenance of constant internal conditions - Temp., pH, osmolality, fluid vol., blood gasses, nutrition, waste removal, metabolism, ion concentrations, etc.  
🗑
What regulates homestasis?   1. Nervous Control 2. Endocrine Control 3. Reproduction 4. Intrinsic Control  
🗑
What is the function of intrinsic control?   Trys to maintain the same position  
🗑
How many homeostatic controls are in the human body?   Thousands  
🗑
What is the function of homeostatic controls?   Maintain intra and extracellular environments  
🗑
How are Homeostatic Controls regulated?   Negative Feedback, Positive Feedback, and Feedforward  
🗑
How many systems maintain blood circulation?   9  
🗑
How many systems maintain ion concentration?   22  
🗑
The more systems that maintain a particular function - the more important that function is. What is the purpose of having numerous systems governing 1 function?   It provides a fail safe in that if one of the sytems is impaired than the body can still carry out normal funcion through the remaining systems

🗑
A stimulus to increase stimulus that leads to an event which stops the process describes what type of regulatory method?   Positive feedback  
🗑
What is most common cause of positive feedback mechanisms?   Typically a pathological cause  
🗑
Name 3 examples of nonpatholgical types of positive feedback mechanisms?   1. Blood Clot Formation 2. Parturtion (childbirth) 3. Generation of neural impulses  
🗑


   

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.
