LESSON PREVIEW/ REVIEW
1. Differentiate anatomy and physiology.
> Anatomy deals with the internal and external body structures and their spatial connections, while physiology
focuses on understanding the functions of these structures.
2. Why are these two concepts highlighted to be studied in the nursing course?
> The emphasis on studying anatomy and physiology in nursing courses aims to provide nurses with insights
into the body's structures and operations. This knowledge enables accurate assessments, safe procedures,
effective communication, and responsive patient care, ensuring high-quality healthcare delivery.
CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING
You will answer and rationalize this by yourself. This will be recorded as your quiz. One (1) point will be given to the correct
answer and another one (1) point for the correct ratio. Superimpositions or erasures in your answer/ratio is not allowed.
Instruction: Label and describe the function of each part in the image presented below by choosing the correct answer from
the options given.
OPTIONS:
▪ AFFERENT NERVES
▪ RECEPTORS
▪ CONTROL CENTER
▪ SWEAT GLANDS RESPONSE
▪ EFFERENT NERVES
RECEPTORS
AFFERENT NERVES
SWEAT GLANDS
CONTROL
CENTER RESPONSE
EFFERENT NERVES
1. ANSWER: RECEPTORS
DESCRIPTION: These specialized structures detect and react to specific stimuli, such as those related to
sweating.
2. ANSWER: AFFERENT NERVES
DESCRIPTION:These nerves carry sensory information from receptors to the body's control center, prompting a
response.
3. ANSWER: CONTROL CENTER
DESCRIPTION: This center processes sensory information, deciding the suitable action to maintain balance and
control, as seen in sweat gland regulation.
4. ANSWER: EFFERENT NERVES
DESCRIPTION:These nerves transmit signals from the control center to effectors like sweat glands,
initiating a response.
5. ANSWER: SWEAT GLANDS RESPONSE
DESCRIPTION:Sweat glands produce and release sweat, activated by stimuli like body temperature changes,
aiding temperature control.
