New cards

Homeostasis

ability to maintain the internal environment, in a narrow limit for optimal function

2
New cards

first described by homeostasis

claude bernard (19th century)

3
New cards

coined homeostasis

walter cannon 1920's

4
New cards

conditions regulated by homeostasis

-temp

-ph

-water and salt concentration

-cluclose, gas ( co, co2)

5
New cards

Homeostasis requires

adjustment, it is not static

6
New cards

Enzymes rely on

3d struturce held by hydrogen bonds

7
New cards

slows/ stops reaction

change in salt pH and temp

8
New cards

Temp sensitivity

low temp: slows motion and interaction

high temp: reaction too fast, denatures proteins

9
New cards

Ectotherms

-get heat from enviornment

- reptiles, amphibians,fish, invertibratses

- have behaviors to stablizie temp

10
New cards

Endotherms

heat from metabolic reactions

11
New cards

Endotherms have higher

energy cost but faster nerveous system

12
New cards

Negetive Feedback

-primary mechanism

-counteracts change and returns the system to origional

- componetes: sensor, control center, effectir

13
New cards

sensor

detects condition

14
New cards

control center

compars condition to setpoint

15
New cards

effector

produces output to restore the condition

16
New cards

Shivering

response to cold; body shakes to turn energy from food into body heat

17
New cards

sweating

Getting rid of excess heat through pores in the skin to stay cool.

18
New cards

positive feedback

-resposne that amplifies change

-rare because it can spiral out of control

19
New cards

childbirth

cervix stretches triggers oxytocin, creates more contractions, contniues stretching

20
New cards

Structural Hierarchy

Cells, tissue, organs, organ system

21
New cards

Tissue

groups of cells for a similar task

22
New cards

organs

structure of 2+ tissues

23
New cards

organ system

groups of organs working together

24
New cards

Epithetical Tissue

-covers body surfaces and cavaties and glands

-high retention rate , non-vascular, attached to membranes

-classification: layer, shape

-Glands: Exocrine and Endocrine

25
New cards

layer classification

simple: one layer (diffusion or absorption)

stratified: multiple layers (protection)

26
New cards

shape classification

Squamous (flattened), cuboidal (cube-shaped), and columnar (column-shaped) cells.

27
New cards

Exocrine gland

secrets into ducts (sweat and saliva)

28
New cards

Endocrine gland

Ductless, secrets horomones into blood

29
New cards

Connective tissue

-supports and strength to other tissue

-large extracellular matrix

-connective: loose, dense and specialized

30
New cards

loose connective

most abundant

adipose: muscle to bone

ligaments: bone to bone

31
New cards

dense connective

-colllagen packe

- tendons: muscle to bone

-ligaments: bone tob bone

32
New cards

specialized connective

cartilage: flexable supprt

Bone: hardend by calcium

Blood and Lymph: Fluid matrices (plasma) carrying cells

33
New cards

Muscle Tissue

-cells packed with fibourus protein

- slide for contraition

-skeletal, cardiac, smooth

34
New cards

skeletal muscle

strained, voluntary, moves the skeleton

35
New cards

cardiac muscle

invoulitary, strained, heart cells, connected by interlaced disks

36
New cards

smooth muscle

no strained, invoulantary,digestive tract,

37
New cards

Nerve Tissue

-electrecal signaling

-Neurons

-Glial Cells

38
New cards

Neurons

conduct signaling through dendrites(input) cell and body axons (output)

39
New cards

Glial Cells

support, protect, and insulate neurons

40
New cards

Representive Organs:skin

-represent all 4 tissues working together to maintain homeostasis

-epithelial: epidermeis with water proof barier

-connective: dermis gives strength and contains blood vessels

- muscle: tiny muscles attaches to hair follicils

- nerve: sensor ending detects touch pressure and temp
