Cassie Ho Period 1 Physiology September 16th 2014 Lab 1: Homeostasis Background Information The conditions in our bodies do not really change at all. Our body temperature has to stay within a certain range in order to function. We maintain these function through a process which is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment such as body temperature‚ blood pressure‚ and heart rate. An analogy to help explain homeostasis is a student walking up the

P5. Explaining the Concept of Homeostasis. M2. Probable homeostatic response’s to changes in the internal environment during exercise. The actual word homeostasis means "steady state". Homeostasis describes how the body regulates its process to keep its internal conditions as stable as possible. Homeostasis is necessary because human cells are efficient but very demanding. The phrase homeostasis is a bit confusing; conditions inside our bodies are not constant but are kept within a narrow

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. The term anatomy refers to the structure and relationship of body parts such as tissues and organs. Physiology on the other hand is how these structures work as in individual and in the body as a whole. Take the circulatory system for example. The heart itself‚ blood vessels and blood

Lab 34b Cardiovascular Physiology 1. What was the baseline heart rate for the frog? 59-63 bpm 2. Which wave is larger‚ the one for atrial contraction or the one for ventricular contraction? Why? Ventricular. It shows the strength of the ventricle as it pumps blood‚ and it is a thicker muscle to pump stronger as it contracts 3. At what time during the contraction cycle was it possible to induce an extrasystole? The time during the relaxation part of cardiac cycle. 4. By clicking the Multiple

This problem is not only found in the United States‚ other countries have the same problem‚ as well. Another difference is that women have much more brain cells than men do; they have more efficient access to their brain. (Anatomy and physiology class I and II) women can focus on more that one problem at one time and frequently prefer to solve problems through multiple

waiting for you to become thirsty again. Why would you have a hard time understanding physiology if you did not also understand anatomy? You would not really understand physiology if you struggled in understanding anatomy because the two go hand in hand. This is because the parts of your body do different jobs in relation to one another. Structures (studied in anatomy) determine the functions (studied in physiology) that will be

fluids have been taken‚ the body switches off the “thirst mode.” 3. Why would you have a hard time understanding physiology if you did not also understand anatomy? -Because one would not know that the two terms are virtually the same in some ways they use the same processes. Both anatomy and physiology have their differences but one cannot understand anatomy without knowing physiology and vice versa. 4.
