KEY IDEA TABLE
Key Idea | Explanation | Chapter (page) | |
Structure-Function | The anatomy (structure) of an element determines its physiology (function). | 1 (p. 4) | |
Levels of Organization | All living things are organized from very simple levels (e.g. atoms) to very complex levels (e.g. organisms). Anatomy and physiology can be studied at any of these levels. | 1 (p. 4) | |
Homeostasis and Negative Feedback | Despite changing environmental conditions, critical body functions such as blood pressure and temperature are maintained within tight limits. Negative feedback is a control system based on information returning to a source. It reverses any upward or downward shift in a particular body condition. | 1 (p. 5) | |
Barriers | Barriers help the body maintain distinct environments. For instance, the skin and mucous membranes separate the inside of the body from the external environment, and the cells plasma membrane separates the intracellular fluid from the extracellular fluid. | 1 (p. 7) | |
Gradients and Flow | The movement (flow) of a particular substance is promoted by a gradient (a difference in a physical or chemical value between two areas) and opposed by resistance. For instance, resistance can reflect membrane thickness for flow across barriers, and tube width for flow through tubes. | 1 (p. 8) | |
Water | Water is of critical importance in many physiological processes. | 2 (p. 27) | |
Enzymes | Most chemical reactions require the actions of enzymes. The activity of specific enzymes can be increased or decreased in response to changing body conditions. | 2 (p. 32) | |
Energy | Organisms need to generate and use energy. Tracking the flow of energy and matter through systems is a key part of understanding physiology. | 2 (p. 34) | |
Genes Code for Proteins | DNA is the cell's master blueprint, determining the bodys structures and functions. Mutations, changes in the DNA sequence of a gene, can change the shape of the resulting protein, or even stop it from being synthesized. | 3 (p. 54) | |
Causation and Correlation | Two events may be correlated (i.e. frequently occur together) without one event causing the other. Establishing causation involves specifying a sequence of interactions linking the cause to the effect. | 5 (p. 104) | |
Adaptation | Organisms adapt to the environment; that is, their structure, function, or behavior changes in response to changes in their environment. Adaptation often results from injury, and helps protect against future damage. | 6 (p. 118) | |
Communication | The body uses chemical and electrical signals to convey information. Chemical signals alter the activity of target cells by binding specific receptors. | 8 (p. 171) | |
Mass Balance | The amount of a substance stored in a system is determined by inputs and outputs. | 14 (p. 332) |
