1.2 Organization of Body Structures Flashcards
is the armpit, the space between the medial surface of the upper arm and the adjacent lateral chest wall
Axilla
is the area of the oblique crease on the front of the body where the lower limb joint the trunk in front of the hip
Groin
is the lateral side of the abdomen between the lowest rib and the upper margin of the ilium
Loin
is one of the nine regions into which the abdomen is divided. It sometimes refers to the posterior abdominal wall adjacent to the lumbar vertebrae
Lumbar Region
is the prominent area of the rump on either side lying lateral to and behind the hip
Buttock
is the space between the upper medial surfaces of the thighs, and the extending from the anus behind to the pubic arch in front. It becomes visible when the thighs are separated

THE ORGANIZATION OF BODY STRUCTURES
- Cells
- Tissues
- Organs
- Systems
the unit of structure and of function of the body
Cells
group of similar cells
Tissues
groups of tissues organized into a unit and concerned with some specific function
Organs
groups of tissues and organs arranged to perform some function
Systems
is a name used to indicate living matter
Protoplasm
cytoplasm + nucleus
Protoplasm
consists of complex molecules located in the chromosomes of the nucleic of body cells
DNA or Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
DNA
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
each contains thousands of compounds with a nitrogen base, a sugar with 5 carbon atoms, deoxyribose, and a phosphate
DNA or Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
responsible for multiple genes, and the transmission of hereditary traits
DNA or Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
a compound molecule located in the nucleoli of cell nuclei, or in the cytoplasm
RNA or Ribose Nucleic Acid
RNA
Ribose Nucleic Acid
it contains nitrogen, ribose, a sugar with 5 carbon atoms and a phosphate

1 millimicron = ______ micron
1/1000 micron, (1/25,000,000 of an inch)
1 angstrom = _____ millimicron
1/10 millimicron, (1/250,000,000 of an inch)
Cell membrane also called
Plasma membrane
a very thin covering that surrounds each cell
Cell membrane
it forms a wall to contain the cell contents but it is permeable to water and many molecules, allowing them to pass in or out of the cell
Cell membrane
Latin word of Nucleus
little nut
is centrally-placed rounded part of the cell that is separated from the remainder of the cell by nuclear membrane
Nucleus
controls cellular activity and contains chromosomes and a small rounded granule called ______
Nucleus,
nucleolus
are long threadlike filaments contained within the nucleus
Chromosomes
contains proteins and DNA molecules that carry genes
Chromosomes
rounded body within the nucleus. It contains RNA molecules and proteins
nucleolus
is that part of a cell that lies outside of the nucleus
Cytoplasm
sausage shaped bodies, the power plants, with enzymes producing chemical reactions that produce energy
Mitochondria
minute canals that build up proteins, synthesize proteins
Endoplasmic reticula
minute vesicles, small sacs that concentrate or condense intracellular materials
Golgi bodies
minute droplets that digest proteins, etc.
Lysosomes
small spherical bodies containing two cylinders which take part in cell division
Centrosomes
the fluid within the cytoplasm
Intracellular fluid
consists of the nucleus and surrounding cytoplasm
Cell body
are projections that extend out from the cell body in some types of cells, such as nerve and bone cells
Cell Processes
term used to include all the cells of the body except the genetic (reproductive) cells
Somatic cells
include those cells that produce an embryo, the ovum, or egg in the female, and the spermatozoon, or sperm in the male
Genetic cells or reproductive cells
4 TYPES OF TISSUES
- Epithelial tissue or epithelium
- Connective tissue
- Muscular tissue
- Nervous tissue or nerve tissue
is the material that lies between adjacent cell in any tissues
Intercellular substance
a thin sheet of tissue composed of cells cemented together to form a covering or lining membrane, such as skin, covering of a lung, or lining of a blood vessel or the intestine, etc.
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium)
contains nerve endings (receptors) but no blood vessels
Epithelium
it gives protection, manufactures secretions, and allows absorption and excretion
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium)
single layer of flat cobblestone or tilelike cells
Pavement epithelium
a layer of cube-shaped cells cemented together
Cuboidal epithelium
a layer of cylindrical cells joined together
Columnar epithelium
many-sided cells are cemented together
Polyhedral epithelium
shaped like wine goblets, are found in the columnar epithelium.
Goblet cells
They secrete mucus, a clear sticky fluid. They are found in mucous membranes of the digestive tract
Goblet cells
consists of a single layer of cells cemented together to form a continuous sheet
Simple epithelium
linings of blood vessels and the intestine, the covering of the heart, lungs, etc
Simple epithelium
consists of several layers of cells cemented together to form a membrane
Stratified epithelium
type of simple epithelium with a single layer of cells forming the lining of blood vessels
Endothelium
mouth, esophagus, vagina, skin
Stratified epithelium
a type of simple single-layered epithelium that lines the body cavities, the pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum
Mesothelium
a type of simple or stratified epithelium that contains goblet cells and secretes mucus
Mucous membrane
type of simple epithelium that secretes a thin watery colorless fluid
Serous membrane
is a type of epithelium that lines joint cavities, bursae, and the sheaths of tendons
Synovial membrane
It secretes an oily substance that lubricates adjacent surfaces
Synovial membrane
