Physiology = the study of the function of these structures.
5 Levels of Organization:
- Cellular Level
- Tissue Level
- Organ Level
- Organ System Level
- The Organism Itself
Four Main Types of Tissues
1. Epithelial
2.Connective
3. Muscle
4. Nervous
Epithelial Tissue:
covers surface of body, lines organs and cavities
*replaced completely every two weeks*
Connective Tissue:
sparse; scattered through an extracellular matrix; six major types
- Loose Connective Tissue (webbed)
- Adipose Tissue (fat)
- Blood
- Fibrous Connective Tissue
- Cartilage
- Bone
Loose: holds organs in place; loose weave, but strong; has elastic fibers -
"Snap it while you can!" - Christine Kim
Adipose: stores fat; fat bubbles expand when fat is consumed
Blood: red and white blood cells in plasma(liquid)
Fibrous: forms tendons(muscle to bone) and ligaments(bone to bone)
Cartilage: rubbery, but strong; heals slowly
"Sharks are made entirely of cartilage." - James Cho
Bone: rigid with calcium deposits; hard, but not brittle
Muscle Tissue:
MEAT! contract when stimulated by a signal
-3 types:
Skeletal: voluntary, striated(alignment), fixed number(weight lifting only expands)
Cardiac: only in the heart; striated, involuntary(do not have to think to make heart beat)
Smooth: walls of organs, blood vessels; involuntary, not striated
Nervous Tissue:
sends information from one body part to another
"Open" System
=
we exchange chemicals and energy with surroundings continuously
In = nutrients and oxygen
Out = waste and carbon dioxide
We exchange indirectly via our circulatory system
**Homeostasis**
=
VERY IMPORTANT WORD
It means keeping a steady state - internal body maintains constant conditions even when external environment changes.

although it's not that hard to remember, i like to remember "homeostasis" by saying "homeostability".
ReplyDeleterandom fact: man meat (human muscle tissue) is the only meat that is perfectly balanced in nutrients since we eat all of them!

ReplyDeleteI really liked how you organized the notes!
ReplyDeleteThe highlighted words, bullet points, and the different sizes of words. It helped me to review the major points. I tried to make my post organized like yours. :)
i like how you listed all the different kinds of tissues.. its easy to get them mixed up :)
ReplyDeletep.s. im serious. snap it while u can!!! ;)
this is organized very nicely and is really good for reviewing all the terms. you made it seem really simple
