Chapter 1 Overview Notes: You are to read the text’s chapter and look through the Powerpoint notes on Blackboard as well. Anatomy literally means “to cut” – tomy and “apart” – ana‚ since in the early days anatomists used cadavers to cut apart and see inside. Physiology literally means the “study of nature” so we study the nature or functions of the body systems. We have to understand that the structure of any body part – muscle cell contracts the organ‚ protein fibers contract the muscle

Congestive Heart Failure Congestive Heart Failure‚ also known as "cardiac decompensation‚ cardiac insufficiency‚ and cardiac incompetence‚" (Basic Nursing 1111) is an imbalance in pump function in which the heart is failing and unable to do its work pumping enough blood to meet the needs of the body’s other organs. To some people‚ heart failure is defined as a sudden and complete stoppage of heart activityi.e. that the heart just stops beating. This is an inaccuracy. Heart failure usually

difficult to survive in a given environment‚ humans would be able to adapt as their bodily systems are constantly balancing and changing to their adaptations. A reproduction advantage also links in to this as well. Thermoregulation as well as all homeostatic processes allow the body to constantly deal with change‚ by means of a ‘balancing act’. Over time‚ if these are able to continue‚ “an organism is able to inhabit a wider range of habitats and reproduce more successfully to maintain population.”

(1)Genetic factors‚ (2)physical factors‚ and (3)social factors play a role in obesity. The genetic factor that causes obesity is really out of our hands and in certain cases a plateau phase has been noticed. This generally occurs due to hormonal imbalance mainly caused by disturbance in physiological system of our bodies. Genetic predisposition also plays a major role as a causative factor. If both your parents are overweight‚ then the odds of you being overweight or obese increase a lot. This factor

Introduction: Homeostasis is the tendency of the body to seek and maintain equilibrium‚ a state of balance‚ within its internal environment. Endotherms are “warm blooded” animals that produce and maintain their own internal body heat. Most mammals and a few birds‚ are endotherms; this is beneficial because the enzymes in the body that carry out metabolic processes have an optimum temperature at which they function‚ having the body constantly be‚ or be close to‚ this optimum internal temperature
