- The study of the processes and functions - It involves how atoms
of the body interact and combine into
molecules
Importance of Anatomy and Physiology:
Cell
- Understand how the body responds to:
Stimuli - It is the basic structural and

Homeostasis
- Not directly used for homeostasis
- Maintenance of constant internal
environment or balance of bodily
functions
Variables
- Measures of body properties that may
change in value
Ex. Labor stage of pregnancy. A mother
Ex. Body temperature, blood pressure, loaded with fetus during labor, once the
weight etc. pelvic is engage it will send a signal to the
Negative Feedback Loop mother that the baby will come out and the
brain will send a signal to the effector to
- Mechanism that maintains homeostasis excrete hormones (oxytocin) to induce
- Ex. contractions and the contractions will
release prostaglandins and more oxytocin
will secrete.
