Anatomy Flashcards
sdad
scientific discipline that deals with the processes or function of living things
Physiology
The structural and functional characteristics of all organisms are deterined by their chemical make-up
chemical
atoms combine to form molecules
chemical
small structure that make up cells
organelle
Basic Structural and fucntional unit of organisms, such as plants and animals
Cell
A group of similar cells and the aterials surrounding them
Tissue
Covers surfaces, usually has a basement membrane, has a little extracellular aterial and has no blood vessel
Epithelial Tissue
holds cells and tissue together. has an extracellular matrix consisting of protein fibers, ground substances, and fluid
Connective Tissue
specialized to shorten or contact
Muscle Tissue
It is composed of two or more tissue types that together perform one or more comon function
Organ
It is a group of organs classified as a unit because of a common function or set of functions.
Organ System
Consists of skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands
Integumentary System
Provides protection, regulates temperature, prevents water loss, and produces vitamin D precursors
Integumentary System
Consists of bones, associated cartilages, ligaments, and joints.
Skeletal System
Provides protection and support, allows body moveents, produces blood cells and stores minerals and fats
Skeletal System
Consists of muscles attached to the skeleton by tendon
Muscular System
Provides body movements, maintains posture, and produces body heat
Muscular System
Removes foreign substances from the blood and lymph, cobat disease, maintains tissue fluid balance, and absorbs fats from the digestive tract
Lymphatic System
Lungs and respiratory passages
Respiratory System
Exchange O2 and CO2 between the blood and air and regulates blood pH
Respiratory System
Perform mechanical and chemical processes of digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of wastes.
Digestive System
A major regulatory system that detects sensations and control movements, physiologic processes, and intellectual functions
Nervous System
A major regulatory system that influences metabolism, growth, reproduction, and many other functions
Endocrine System
Transport nutrients, waste products, gases and hormones throughout the body
Cardiovascular System
Plays a role in the immune response and the regulatiopn of the body temperature
Cardiovascular system
Production of ale and female sex cells, and male and female sex hormones
Reproductive System
It is any living thing considered as a whole, whether composed of one cell, such as bacterium, or trillions such as human
Organism
