THE SCIENCES OF ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY CH 1 STUDY GUIDE 1.1 Anatomy and Physiology Compared A. Anatomy: the science of body structures and the relationships among structures B. Physiology: the study of body functions – how the body parts work 1.2 Anatomy and Physiology Integrated A. Anatomy and physiology initially may appear to be different sciences‚ but further reflection reveals that these two sciences are integrated‚ because form (anatomy) and function

keeping things constant‚ therefore positive feedback cannot be used as a homeostatic mechanism. Homeostasis is used as a survival tool because it enables animals to adapt to the ever changing environment (Tortora 1999). Without this ability death may occur‚ unless medical treatment is executed to bring about the natural occurrence of a feedback system (Clancy 2002). Disease will also result when there is a failure in the homeostatic control system because according to Clancy (2002) homeostasis provides

ratios could create a situation in which some patients receive more nursing care than needed‚ and others less care. This could lead to lower quality of care and higher costs. Mandatory nurse-staffing ratios may exacerbate rather than correct the imbalance between patient needs and available nursing resources in U.S. In contrast‚ optimizing nursing intensity based on actual patient needs could address the perceived nursing shortage by creating a better fit between patient demands and the nursing resources

seek to answer this unique question. There is the understanding that human body is made of systems that regulate activities as moving‚ sleeping‚ eating and drinking. However‚ there are some cases where people engage in the activities beyond the homeostatic controls. In this case‚ it happens that a person will go on eating even though they feel that they are full. Andreas Hess and his teammates at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nurnberg offers insight or ideas on how to answer the question
