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.
