Review Questions
(1) Define Tissue? A group of similar cells that perform a specialized function
(2) Name the four major types of tissue found in the human body?
1 comparing nervous
2 connective
3 epithelial
4 muscular tissues

(12) Describe the general characteristics of connective tissue? Connective tissue is the most abundant and most widely distributed of the tissues. Connective tissues perform a variety of functions including support and protection. The following tissues are found in the human body, ordinary loose connective tissue, cartilage, bone, blood, and lymph, which are all considered connective tissue

Critical Thinking
(1) Which process- diffusion ,osmosis , or filtration- accounts for the following situations
(A) Injection of a drug that is hypertonic to the tissues stimulates pain
(B) A person with extremely low blood pressure stops producing urine.
(C) The concentration of urea in the dialyzing fluid of an artificial kidney is kept low.
I think that the process of diffusion accounts for the following situations.

Review questions

(2)Describe how the shapes of nerve, epithelial, and muscle cells are well suited to their functions? These functions are well suited because the genes controlling neurotransmitter synthesis are activated
(3)Name the major components of a cell and describe how they interact? T-cell receptors and coreceptor molecules are both large proteins displayed on the surface of T cells, and they play an essential role during the beginning of an immune response. T cells become activated after their T-cell receptor recognizes antigen -- small pieces of foreign pathogens -- on the surface of other cells. Coreceptors, while they do not recognize foreign antigen, also bind to molecules on neighboring cells and help in T cell activation.
(12)
(13)Describe the structure of the nucleus and the functions of its contents? The neutron is an electrically neutral particle slightly heavier than the proton. They are present in numbers greater than or equal to the number of protons in every element except Hydrogen (whose nucleus is a single proton), and variations in the number of neutrons of elements account for isotopes.
(14)Distinguish between diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is the substances moving through the membranes from a region of higher of concentration while diffusion is random movement from reg

(2)In health, body parts interact to maintain homostasis.Illness may threaten homostasis requiring treatments. What treatments might be used to help control a patients (A)Body temperature(B)blood oxygen concentration and (C)water content? I think the best medicine for that would be antibiotics from an heart medicine, or i would go and see an specialist for treatment.
(4)If a patient complained of a stomach ache and pointed to the umbilical region as the site of discomfort which organs located in this region might be the source of pain? I think the source of pain is coming from umbilical arteries

Review Answers

(2)Distinguish between anatomy and physiology? The difference between the two is anatomy is the study of dealing with the form and structure of body parts,while physiology is the study of body functions
(4)List and describe ten charateristics of life?
(1)movement- change in position of the body part motion of the internal organ
(2)Responsiveness-reaction to a change taking place inside or outside the body.
(3)growth-increase in body size without change in shape.
(4)reproduction-production of new organisms and cells
(5)respiration-obtaining oxygen using oxygen in releasing energy from foods and removing carbon dioxide.
(6)digestion-breakdown of food substance into simpler forms that can be absorbed and used
(7)absorption-passage of substances through membranes and into body fluids.
(8)circulation- movement of substances from place to place in body fluids
(9)assimilation-changing of absorbed substances into chemically different forms
(10)excretion-removal of wastes produced by metabolic reactions
(6) List and describe five requirements of organisms?
(1)Water-a chemical substance
(2)food- various chemical substances
(3)oxygen-a chemical substance
(4)heat- a form of energy
(5) pressure- a force
(7)Explain how the idea of homostasis relates to the five requirements you listed in item 6?It relates because homostasis is so important that most of our metabolic energy is spent on it
(11)Describe how homostatic mechanisms act by negative feedback? Homostatic mechanisms act on feedback because the mechanism regulates body temperature in humans. the thermostat is a temperature-sensitive region in a control center of the brain called hypohalamus. in an healthy person the set point for the thermostat is 98.6 degrees farenheit
(13)Distinguish between the axial and appendicular portions of the body?The Axial portion of the body includes the head neck and trunk,and the appendicular portion includes the upper and lower limbs.
(14)distinguish between the dorsal and ventral body cavities and name the smaller cavities within each?The difference between the two is the ventral cavity is a hollow place in the body that includes the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavitity, while the dorsal cavity is ahollow area in the posterior area of the body and it contains the cranial cavity and the vertebral canal.
