difference between the study of Anatomy and the study of Physiology? • Name and define the levels of organization of life? • Define metabolism. • Define homeostasis? How does a homeostatic mechanism maintain homeostasis? • What is meant by negative feedback? How does negative feedback affect homeostatic mechanisms? • Know the locations of the major body cavities. Be familiar with major organs within each cavity. • Describe the structure of a serous membrane? • (Referring

ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract‚ involving both the stomach and the small intestine and resulting in acute diarrhea. It can be transferred by contact with contaminated food and water. The inflammation is caused most often by an infection from certain viruses or less often by bacteria‚ their toxins‚ parasites‚ or an adverse reaction to something in the diet or medication. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The GIT is composed of two general parts‚ the main

and fluid excretion: There is usually a balance between intake and excretion of water. If the water balance becomes unbalanced‚ this can greatly affect various bodily functions such as blood pressure‚ blood sugar levels or brain function. This imbalance will also create a thirst reaction and by the time we perceive this‚ our body is already mildly dehydrated. • Water as a means of transport: Most of the water‚ which a person takes in each day‚ is required to transport nutrients into the cells

The type of proteins in the cell membrane that were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells were ATPases‚ and ATP. The lack of ATP affected the membrane pumps‚ and ATPases had stopped moving calcium from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum of his heart cells. 5. F. It was important to reestablish oxygen

obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which can be very devastating. During the beginning stages of chronic bronchitis‚ slight coughing may be seen in the morning and as the disease progresses the individual may cough all throughout the day. This homeostatic imbalance causes a build up of excess mucus which in turn causes shortness of breath due to less airflow. Signs of excessive coughing can be seen also some may even see some blood in the mucus. The airway passages start to get inflamed starting with

What types of proteins in the cell membrane were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells? Without ATP the sodium potassium ion channels can’t operate. The heart can’t contract properly. Increased Calcium sent the heart in to a prolonged contraction‚ it convulsed recklessly. F. Why was reestablishing oxygen
