ANAPHY FIRST LESSONS REVIEWER Flashcards
Is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its part and their relationship to one another.
Anatomy
Is the study of how the body and its part work or function.
Physiology
Tiny building blocks of matter, combine to form molecules such as water, sugar, and proteins. Molecules, in turn, associate in specific ways to form microscopic cells.
Atoms
Smallest units of all living things.
Cells
Consists of groups of similar cells that have a common function.
Tissues
Is a structure composed of two or more tissue types that performs a specific function for the body
organ
is a group of organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose
organ system
represents the highest level of structural organization
organisms
is the external covering of the body, or the skin, including the hair and fingernails. It waterproofs the body and cushions and protects the deeper tissues from injury.
Integumentary system
Consists of bones, cartilages, and joints. it supports the body and provides framework that the skeletal muscles use to cause movement.
Skeletal system
It only have one function- to contract, or shorten.
Muscular system
is the body’s fast-acting control system. It consists of the
Nervous system
Controls the bodies activities, but it acts much more slowly. Produces chemical molecules called hormones and release them into the blood to travel to distant target organs.
Endocrine system
Delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other substances to, and picks up wastes such as carbon dioxide from cells near sites of exchange
Cardiovascular system
Is to keep the body supplied with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide.
Respiratory system
Is to break down food and deliver resulting nutrients to the blood for dispersal oto body cells
Digestive system
Removes the nitrogen-containing wastes from the blood and flushes them from the body in urine
Urinary system
Their role is to produce offspring
Reproductive system
Includes all the activities promoted by the muscular system, such as propelling ourselves from one place to another and manipulating the external environment with our fingers
Movement
Is the ability to sense changes in the environment and then to react to them
Responsiveness or irritability
Is the process of breaking down indigested food into dimple molecules that can then be absorbed into the blood
Digestion
Refers to all chemical reactions that occur within the body and all of its cell
Metabolism
process of removing excreta, or wastes, from the body.
Excretion
The production of offspring, can occur on the cellular or organismal level.
Reproduction
