Document Summary
Physiology: the study of functions of organs and organ systems. Anatomy: the study structure and form of organisms. Biochemistry: the study of the chemical compounds and processes. Pathos is derived from pathos the suffering/disease (pathophysiology and pathogen) All human being are formed with the same basic positions. Part of the heart, esophagus, windpipe and not the lungs. Allows organs to slide against/over each other. The cranial cavity does not have a visceral membrane. A visceral membrane is only found in ventral cavities. Homeostasis: bodies ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment in response to changing internal or external conditions. Collection of processes such as heart rates, temperature and blood pressure. Stimulus, receptors, control center, effector = homeostasis restored. Water is a polar due to unequal sharing of electrons. Relatively universal, 70 percent of animal composition. Water is held together by covalent bonds and are polar. Water molecules are linked to other water molecules by hydrogen bonds.
