Organ Systems

Characteristics of Life (10)

•_____________ – change in position; motion

• _____________ – reaction to a change

• __________ – increase in body size; no change in shape

• ______________ – obtaining oxygen; removing carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods

• ___________ – production of new organisms and new cells

7

• _______________ – passage of substances through membranes and into body fluids

• ______________ – movement of substances in body fluids

• ________________ – changing of absorbed substances into chemically different forms

• _________________ – removal of wastes produced by metabolic reactions

• ___________ – breakdown of food substances into simpler forms

Characteristics of Life (Cont.)

Maintenance of Life

• Life depends on five (5) environmental factors:• • • • •

9

• Water- most abundant substance in body- required for _____________________- required for transport of substances- regulates ________________________

• Food- provides necessary _____________- supplies energy- supplies __________________

Requirements of Organisms

10

• Oxygen (gas)- _____________ of air- used to ______________from nutrients

• Heat- form of _____________ - partly controls ____________________________

• Pressure - application of ________________________ - ______________ pressure – important for breathing - ______________ pressure – keeps blood flowing

Requirements of Organisms

11

Homeostasis*

* Maintaining of a stable _______________________

• Homeostatic Control Mechanisms – monitors aspects of the _____________________and corrects as needed. Variations are within limits. All homeostatic mechanisms have three components in common:

• ______________ - provides information about the stimuli; senses change in environment• ______________- tells what a particular value should be (called the set point); regulates set-point of variables• ______________- organ that acts in response to changes; elicits responses that change conditions in the internal environment

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

Stimulus(Change occursin internalenvironment.) Response

(Change is corrected.)

Receptors Effectors(muscles or glands)

Control center(set point)

(Change is comparedto the set point.)

• There are two (2) types:

• _____________ feedback mechanisms

• _____________feedback mechanisms

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

The ________________________________control homeostasis in the body

14

Negative feedback summary:

• Prevents sudden, severe changes in the body

• ____________the actions of the effectors

• Corrects the _______________

• Causes __________________________to occur, i.e. the ‘negative’

• Limits chaos in the body by creating _________________

• Most _______________ type of feedback loop

• Examples: _____________________________________________

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

15

Positive feedback summary:

• Increases (accelerates) the actions of the body

• Produces more _______________ in the body

• Produces more chaos in the body

• There are only a few types necessary for our survival

• Positive feedback mechanisms are _________________

• Controls only ___________________that do not require __________________________________

• Considered to be the ______________________ loop

• Examples: _____________________________________

 • _______________= a soft, thin, pliable layer of tissue that either:

a. covers a vital (visceral organ) = _________________ MEMBRANE.b. lines a body cavity = ___________________ MEMBRANE.

•There is a space between a visceral and parietal membrane into which SEROUS fluid is secreted for ________________________.

Thoracic & Abdominal Serous Membranes

20

• There are specific names for the membranes around the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs:

  a. Serous Membranes of the LUNGS: The membrane on the surface of the lung is called _______________. The membrane that lines the cavity in which the lungs are located is called ____________________. The space between these two membranes is called the _____________, and it is filled with serous fluid.

b. Serous Membranes of the HEART: The membrane on the surface of the heart is called _______________

______________________ The membrane that lines the cavity in which the heart is located is called _______________________. The space between these two membranes is called the ______________

_______________, and it is filled with serous fluid.
