WEEK 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology‚ and explain their relationship using an example of a human structure with its corresponding function. Anatomy: The branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ esp. as revealed by dissection. Physiology: The branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. Anatomy and physiology are connected in

1. How does a cell become differentiated? A cell becomes differentiated by using only the DNA that it needs. 2. Give an example of 2 differentiated cells. Two examples of differentiated cells are lysosomes and mitochondria. Lysosomes are small so they can move throughout the cell effectively. Mitochondria have a lot of surface area to make more energy 3. (Essay) What does it mean to be specialized? Explain how the structure of the cell determines its function. Give at least 3 examples. Being specialized

as previous studies have indicated that the end spurt in running is associated with an increase in the CMG signal‚ length of each stride and stride frequency. The third phenomenon is the protection of homeostasis. According to the Hill model‚ this does not occur‚ as it is the failure of homeostasis that causes fatigue and exhaustion. Contrarily‚ the key prediction of the CGM is that behaviour modification (e.g.‚ pacing strategies) ensures that homoeostasis is protected under

The Endocrine system helps to maintain homeostasis by secreting hormones into the bloodstream‚ which travels throughout the body. This system regulates activities such as growth and development and influence emotions and behavior. The relationship of this system alongside the other body systems is how the body maintain a stable equilibrium‚ regulating the activity of the organ systems. Nervous - The endocrine system acts as a communication tool within the human body‚ working alongside with the nervous

This bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain is known as the gut-brain-axis and is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and regulating digestion in the human body (Cryan & Dinan‚ 2015; Mayer et al.‚ 2014; Rhee et al.‚ 2009).
