Study Notes
Key Concepts in Anatomy and Physiology
- Homeostasis: Essential for maintaining regulated physiological balance within the body.
- Physiology: Focuses on the functioning mechanisms of living organisms.
- Net Force: The resultant single force from the combination of all forces acting on a structure at a specific moment.
- Statistical Interference: The process of applying research findings to a broader population.
Metabolism and Energy
- Metabolic Rate: Indicative of how quickly the body utilizes energy.
- Kinetics: Involves analyzing the influences of forces on physical systems.
Anatomical Terminology
- Cells: The fundamental building blocks of all living entities.
- Anterior (ventral) Cavity: Comprised of connected internal spaces, specifically the thoracic and abdominopelvic regions.
Mechanics and Forces
- Combined Loading: Involves the simultaneous application of multiple forces.
- Torque: The rotary effect produced by a force.
- Force: Defined as the push or pull that affects a structure under various influences.
Organ Systems and Structure
- Organ System: Consists of two or more organs collaborating to perform specific functions.
- Stress: Measured similarly to pressure, emphasizing the impact of force on materials.
Theoretical Frameworks
- Scientific Theory: Offers comprehensive explanations of natural phenomena validated through extensive research.
- Research Question: Central to scientific study, these define problems to be examined.
Additional Terminology
- Homeostatic Imbalance: Describes reduced efficiency in maintaining normal internal environments within the body.
- Bending: A phenomenon resulting from off-center forces leading to a specific load pattern.
- Sagittal Plane Movements: Movements restricted to forward and backward actions.
- Trachea: A critical component of the respiratory system.
- Effectors: Incorrectly defined as collections of similar cells; actual term refers to organs or glands responding to stimuli.
