BIOL 103 Chapter Notes - Chapter 41: Mecha, Muscle Tissue, Hemoglobin
Document Summary
Week 1 bio 103 chapter 41 animal form and function. Provide examples to describe the relationship between anatomy (form) and physiology (function) Distinguish between acclimation, acclimatization and adaptation in physiology. Describe the relationships between cells, tissues, organs and organs systems. Describe the basic properties of the 4 main tissue types and discuss how they contribute to physiological systems. Describe how body size and shape affects physiological processes. Define homeostasis and negative feedback, providing examples from various physiological systems. Metabolic water: water synthesized as a by-product of cellular respiration. Can conserve water by doing things such as concentrating the urine. Physiology: study of how physical structures in an organism function. Biologists who study animal physiology/ anatomy study adaptations. Adaptations: genetic changes in population in response to natural selection exerted by environment. Adaptations incr. fitness and ability to produce offspring adaptations are limited by which alleles are present in population & by nature of traits that already exist.
