A+P lecture notes 1-3 Flashcards
anatomy
scientific discipline that investigates the bodys structure
physiology
scientific investigation of the processes or function of living things.
what are the types of anatomy
gross
- regional
- systemic
- surface
microscopic
cytology
histology
regional
studied area by area
systemic
studied system by system
surface
external form and relation to deeper structures as xray in anatomic imaging
cytology
study of cell anatomy
histology
study of tissues
What are the types of Physiology
cell
neurophysiology
cardiovascular
What are the two subjects that encompass both anatomy and physiology
pathology
exercise physiology
pathology
structural and functiona changes caused by disease
exercise physiology
changes in structure and function caused by exercise.
What are the structural and functional organizations
chemical
cell
tissue
organ
organ system
organism
chemical level of organization
interaction of atoms/molecules
cell level of organization
functional unit of life
tissue level of organization
group of similar cells and surronding materials
organ level of organization
one or more tissues functioning together
organ system level
group of organs functioning together
organization
condition in which there are specific relationships and functions
metabolism
all chemical reactions of the body
responsiveness
ability to sense changes and adjust
growth
increase in size and or number of cells
What are the 6 characteristics of an organism
organization
metabolism
responsiveness
growth
development
morphogenesis
reproduction
development
changes in an organism over time
differentiation
change from general to specific
morphogenesis
change in shape of tissues, organs
reproduction
new cells or new organisms
Homeostasis
the existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body
set point
the ideal normal value of a variable
What are the two types of feedback systems
negative and positive
receptor
monitors the value of some variable
control center
establishes the set point
effector
can change the value of the variable
What is negetive feedback
any deviation from the set point is made smaller
What is positive feedback
when a deviation occurs, the response is to make the deviation greater.
anatomical position
body erect, face forward, feet together, palms face forward
supine
lying face up
prone
lying face down
superior
toward the head vs inferior (away from the head)
proxmal vs distil
used to describe linear structures
superficial vs deep
relative to the surface of the body
What are the 4 body plans
median and sagittal
frontal or coronal
transverse
oblique
frontal or coronal
divides body into anterior and posterior sections
transverse/cross
divides body into superior and inferior sections
oblique
other than a right angle
What are the planes of section through an organ
longitudinal
cross/transverse
oblique
What are the three serous membranes
pericardium- heart
pleura- lungs
peritoneum- abdominopelvic cavity
radiography
shawdowy negtive of internal body structures
ultrasound
computer analyzed sound waves bounced off a structure
computed tomography
computed analyzed composite of radiograph- shows slices of body
digital subtraction angiography
comparision of radiographs with and without dye
magnetic resonance imaging
uses magnetism and radio waves to look for varying alignments of protons in soft tissues
positrom emission tomography
uses radioactively glucose -calculates metabolic activity of cells.
element
the simplest type of matter having unique chemical properties
What is a element
atoms of one kind
atom
the smallest particle of an element that has chemical characteristics of the element.
atoms
composed of subatomic particles
neutrons
no charge
protons
one positive charge
electrons
one negative charge
nucleus
formed by protons and neutrons
What are the two types of chemical bonding?
ionic, covalent
ionic bonding
atoms exchange electrons
covalent bonding
two or more atoms share electron pairs
ion
an atom loses or gains electrons and becomes charged
cation
positive charged ion
anion
negatively charged atom
molecules
two or more atoms chemically combine. same or different atoms
electrolytes
solutions from dissociation of cations and anions in water.
nonelectrolytes
solutions made by molecules that dissolve in water.
energy
the capacity to do work
potential energy
energy stored in chemical bonds. energy that could do work if it were released
What does breaking chemical bonds release?
energy
catalysts
substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being permanently changed or depleted.
enzymes
a protein catalyst that increase the rate of chemical reactions
inorganic chemistry
substances that do not contain carbon.
solution
mixture of liquids, gases, or solids that are uniformly distributed and chemically combined
