Human body has many parts with coordinated functions maintained by a complex system of checks and balances also known as ____________

"homeostasis".

adapts to changes in environments and interactions of both inside and outside of the body or also known as ___________

"stimuli".

Two (2) General Ways in Examining Internal Structures:

1. Surface anatomy 2. Anatomical anatomy

Importances of Understanding Physiology

1. Understand and predict the body's responses to stimuli. 2. Understand how the body's internal conditions within a narrow range of values in the presence of continually changing internal and external environments.

superficial wavelength; weakest penetration.

Alpha

X-Ray (X-Radiation) - uses different wavelengths such as

Alpha Beta Gamma

synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones. Requires energy.

Anabolism

Ways in Examining Internal Structures by use of other technologies to create images.

Anatomical anatomy

person involved in studying anatomy.

Anatomists

covers a wide range of studies, including the structure of body parts, their microscopic organization, and the processes by which they develop.

Anatomy

examines the relationship between the structure of a body part and its function.

Anatomy

means to dissect, cut apart and separate, the parts of the body for the study.

Anatomy

scientific discipline that investigates the structure of the body.

Anatomy

breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones. These reactions release energy

Catabolism

forms into organelles -> cell structure

Cell level

biological study concerned with transport of nutrients, ions and water into and out of a cell.

Cellular physiology

Branches of Physiology:

Cellular physiology Systemic physiology Human physiology

starts with atoms of hydrogen and carbon that eventually combines and turns into a molecular structure.

Chemical level

only supports the growth of the body and is only a supplement. No approved therapeutic claims

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF)

helps control your daily schedule for sleep and wakefulness or most commonly known as our 'body clock'

Circadian rhythm

CT

Computerized Tomography

_____________ is responsible for the body to interact with surroundings.

Coordinated function

includes the changes an organism undergoes through time.

Development

change in cell structure and function from generalized to specialized.

Differentiation

health disease with definite reason behind it.

Disease

no organization, or disorganization that can lead to impairment.

Disorder

highest or strongest penetration wavelength.

Gamma

It can result in an increase of cell size, number or amount of substance surrounding the cells.

Growth

refers to an increase in size of all or part of the organism.

Growth

carries oxygen-rich blood to the whole body, and carries deoxygenated blood away from our body through respiration, urination etc

Heart

study of a specific organism.

Human physiology

responsive only when the environment is dark.

Melatonin

ability to use energy to perfor

Metabolism

group of organs classified as a unit because of a common function or set of functions.

Organ System level

composed of two or more tissue types that are used together to perform one or more common functions

Organ levelterm-35

any living thing considered as a whole, whether composed of one cell such as bacterium or trillions of cells such as human

Organism level

refers to the specific relationship of many individual parts of an organism, from cell organelles to organs, interacting and working together.

Organization

An alternate definition is "the study of the biological and physical manifestations of disease as they correlate with the underlying abnormalities and physiological disturbances".

Pathophysiology

entails the study of not only disease, but also the study of disorder and syndrome.

Pathophysiology

study of the disturbance of normal, mechanical, physical and biochemical functions, either caused by a disease or resulting from a disease or abnormal syndrome or condition that may not qualify to be called a disease.

Pathophysiology

scientific that deals with the processes or functions of the living things

Physiology

structures -> dynamic rather than fixed -> unchanging

Physiology

study of the organization of the body by area.

Regional anatomy

Two (2) Approaches of Anatomy:

Regional anatomy Systemic anatomy

formation of new cells or new organisms.

Reproduction

ability of an organism to sense changes in the environment and make adjustments that help maintain its life.

Responsiveness

Ways in Examining Internal Structures by external features.

Surface anatomy

from the greek word meaning "run together", a number of symptoms without an identifiable cause.

Syndrome

study of the body system.

Systemic anatomy

deals with organ specific systems and how they function.

Systemic physiology

group of similar and the materials surrounding them (epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous)

Tissue level

color of oxygenated blood

bright red

color of deoxygenated blood

dark red

Tissue level

epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous

Organ levelterm-35

heart, stomach, liver and urinary bladder

MRI

magnetic resonance imaging

PET

positron emission tomography

When you don't eat for 24 hrs your body breaks down _____________ from the muscle to convert it into energy and this is called______________

proteins ; "catabolism".

Intermittent fasting or 8-12 hrs of fasting forces our body to break down __________________

stored fat.
