faced items will definitely be on quiz
• Be able to define physiology & homeostasis.
• What does physiology involve? (as discussed in class)
• Understand the components of homeostasis
- stimulus
- sensors (sensory receptors)
- integrating center
- effectors
- effect or response
• Know the examples of a positive feedback loop (as discussed in class: nursing & child birth). Know stimulus, sensors, integrating center, effector, and effect.
• What were the examples of a negative feedback loop discussed in class? (body temperature, blood glucose, & blood pressure) Know stimulus, sensors, integrating center, effector, and effect.
- From discussion on blood glucose regulation, what is the function of insulin, glucagon, and glycogen?
- From discussion on blood pressure regulation, what brain stem structure controls heart rate and arteriole diameter?
- From discussion on body temperature, what brain structure stimulates skeletal muscles or sweat glands?
• What is pH? Why is it important in physiological functions?
• How do you determine the relative acidity or alkalinity of substances based on the pH scale (Ex. excersises we did in class)
• What is the normal human blood pH range?
• What is acidosis and alkalosis?
• What organ (or organ system) can correct blood pH the fastest, slowest, and in between?
