Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another
ANATOMY
study of large body structures visible to the naked eye, such as heart, lungs, kidneys
GROSS ANATOMY
all structures in particular region of the body (abdomen or leg region)
REGIONAL
body structures are examined system by system (cardiovascular, neuro, nephron
etc)
SYSTEMIC
study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface
SURFACE
deals with structures to small to be seen by the naked eye(cytology,
histology)
MICROSCOPIC
traces structural changes that occur throughout the life span
DEVELOPMENTAL
studies the function of the body, how the body parts work
and carry out their life-sustaining activities
PHYSIOLOGY
Forms the external body covering, and protects deeper tissues from injury.
Integumentary system
Protects and supports body organs, and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement
Skeletal system
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression
Muscular system
Smallest unit of life
CELLS
Phospholipid bilayer with protein molecules plugged in as a fluid
mosaic
Plasma Membrane
intracellular fluid packed
with organelles
Cytoplasm
organelle that controls
cellular activities
Nucleus
includes interstitial fluids, blood plasma,
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
ECF (extracellular fluid)
