Lecture Activity 1.2 Critical Thinking Questions
Answer the following questions. Discuss your answer briefly. Your answers should not be more
than 15 sentences. Write your answer on the space provided.
1. What imaging technique is best suited for each of the clinical situations described? Why?
a) Examining gallbladder for possible gallstones in response to a patient’s complaints of sharp
pain in the right hypochondriac region of the abdomen;
The best noninvasive diagnostic test for gallstones is abdominal ultrasound, which is 90
percent to 95 percent adequate in identifying gallstones. This is the most frequent test for
detecting indications of gallstones. A transducer is moved back and forth over patient’s stomach
area during abdominal ultrasound. An ultrasound, which utilizes high-frequency sound waves to
generate a picture of the interior of the body, can confirm gallstones. Usually non-painful test
that aids doctors in choosing the optimum treatment options for patients.
b) ruling out a broken bone in a patient complaining of wrist and forearm pain;
Most fractures may be identified by monitoring the injury and performing X-rays. When
most people think of an x-ray, they think of a shattered bone. Because an x-ray may create an
image of every bone in the body with a modest amount of ionizing radiation, this assumption is
correct. Broken bones and fractures are often diagnosed and located using the pictures produced
by an x-ray. After the break has been treated, an x-ray may be taken to see if the bone fragments
are mending properly, stabilizing, and aligning properly.
c) examining of the knee of a patient complaining of persistent pain following an injury on the
athletic field;
An MRI presents a comprehensive image of the configuration of a meniscus tear. It also
uncovers ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and bone anomalies that x-rays and CT scans omit. MRIs
of the knee are suitable for analyzing a meniscus tear as well as any ligament, cartilage, or
tendon injuries. An MRI scan can allow doctors figure out whether individuals with knee
problems need surgery.
2. On her first anatomy and physiology exam, Heather defined homeostasis as <the condition in
which the body approaches room temperature and stays there.= Do you agree with Heather’s
definition?
I disagree with Heather's assertion since the internal component of the body's room
temperature is dynamic and does not remain constant when external conditions change—it
varies to maintain balance or equilibrium. Any mechanism that living organisms employ to
actively maintain reasonably constant circumstances essential for existence is referred as
homeostasis. The statement would put us in jeopardy, maybe resulting in death.

1.1 Give at least 3 examples of how the structure of a part of the body is related to its function.
Food can be torn apart by the sharp incisors (front teeth), while
food can be ground into tiny pieces by the molars (back teeth).
Because the molars are closest to the jaw's hinge, chewing may
be done with the maximum force there (especially useful for
grinding up harder-to-digest plant foods). The general role is to
shred and grind food into small particles that may be ingested
and absorbed into the body.
2.1. Define the following terms: atom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism. Note:

3.1. Discuss the importance of the life processes of the human body. Note: Your answer should
not be more than 15 sentences.
There are some traits that separate living creatures from non-life ones. Organization,
metabolism, response, motions, and reproduction are all basic life activities. There are pre
requisites in humans, who embody the most sophisticated form of life, such as growth,
differentiation, breathing, digestion, and excretion.
Metabolism is a vast term referring to all chemical events that take place in the human
body. The act of perceiving and responding to stimuli is known as responsiveness or irritability.
The human body may move in a variety of ways. Molecules migrate from one location to another
at the cellular level. Blood transports oxygen and nutrients from one region of the body to
another. Growth is defined as an uptick in size, either in terms of the number of cells or in terms
of the size of each individual cell. Cells are derived into tissues and organs through
differentiation. Reproduction may also refer to the generation of new cells and the creation of
new individuals in a broader sense.
All of these events are integrated together; from the tiniest cell to the entire bodily
system, no element of the body operates in solitude. Disease and mortality are both
manifestations of a disturbance of these systems' equilibrium. All of these things function
together in perfect harmony for the individual's well-being and the continuation of life.
3.2. Determine whether the following statements are true or false. Write the word True if the
statement is correct and False if not on the space provided.
___False___1. Digestion is an anabolic process where food is converted into substances that can
be utilized by the body.
___False___2. Anabolism is a destructive metabolism, usually including the release of energy
and breakdown of biomolecules.
___True___3. Metabolism refers to the complete set of physical and chemical reactions that
occur in living cells.
___True___4. Anabolic hormones, such as anabolic steroids, stimulate protein synthesis and
muscle growth.
___True___5. The building up of muscle mass favors catabolic activity while slowing down
anabolic reactions.
3.3. Provide at least 2 examples each of human responsiveness and human movement.

3.4. Using a table, compare and contrast growth, differentiation, and reproduction.
4.1. Discuss what is meant by homeostasis and how it is maintained. Note: Your answer should
not be more than 15 sentences.
In a broader context, homeostasis is steadiness, moderation, or equilibrium. It is the
body's attempt to assert a consistent and balanced internal environment, which necessitates
continual monitoring and modifications as circumstances change. The retention of equilibrium
around the fixed point is the overarching goal of homeostasis. While there are natural variations
from the set point, the body's systems typically attempt to return to it. A receptor detects a
change in the internal or external environment (a stimulus), and the system adjusts the deviation
parameter toward the set point.
Biological systems, such as our own, are continually pushed away from their equilibrium
points. When we exercise, for illustration, our muscles produce more heat, raising our body
temperature. The capacity of our body to recognize and resist these changes is essential for
homeostasis. Negative feedback loops are extensively used to maintain homeostasis. These loops
work in opposition to the stimulus, or cue, that sets them off. A negative feedback loop, for
instance, will operate to bring our body temperature down immediately to the set point, or goal
value, if it is too high.
4.2. Provide an example diagram of a feedback system and discuss its components. Note: Your
answer should not be more than 15 sentences.
Oxytocin stimulates
uterine contractions
and pushes baby
towards cervix
Positive feedback loops that are natural but only triggered when needed include
childbirth and the body's reaction to blood loss. Full-term childbirth is an example of a
circumstance in which maintaining one's current bodily condition is undesirable. To deliver the
baby at the end of pregnancy, massive changes in the mother's body are necessary; and once
delivery begins, it must be done immediately or the mother's and baby's lives would be
jeopardized. A positive feedback mechanism is responsible for the intense muscular work of
labor and delivery.
The baby is pushed toward the cervix during the initial contractions of labor. Stretch-
sensitive nerve cells in the cervix detect the degree of stretching. The pituitary gland at the base
of the brain releases the hormone oxytocin into the circulation as a result of these nerve cells
sending information to the brain. Oxytocin stimulates the smooth muscles in the uterus to
contract more vigorously, propelling the baby further down the delivery canal. This causes the
cervix to extend even more. Only after the baby is born does the cycle of stretching, oxytocin
release, and increasingly stronger contractions come to an end. The elongation of the cervix
comes to a standstill at this stage, preventing the release of oxytocin.
4.3. Using a table, compare and contrast the operation of negative and positive feedback systems.
4.4. Provide an example of homeostatic imbalance and explain how it is related to certain
disorder/s. Note: Your answer should not be more than 15 sentences.
The inability of the internal environment to maintain homeostasis in the face of internal,
external, and environmental stimuli is known as homeostatic imbalance. When cells in the body
encounter a deficiency, such as nutritional inadequacies caused by a poor diet or when cells are
exposed to pollutants, homeostatic imbalance ensues. Any breakdown of body's normal function
that results in unpleasant symptoms is alluded to as disease. While disease is frequently caused
by contamination or damage, the majority of diseases are caused by a disturbance of normal
homeostasis. If the processes of disruption grow powerful enough, anything that inhibits the
positive or negative feedback system from functioning optimally might lead to infections.
