Consists of related organs with a

common function.

A

System (organ-system) level

33
Q

Kinds of cells in your body:

A

muscle cells, nerve cells, and epithelial cells

34
Q

Oone of the three types of muscle cells in the

body.

A

Smooth muscle cell

35
Q

Any living

individual, can be compared to a book in our analogy.

A

Organismal level

36
Q

Molecules combine to form cells, the basic structural and functional units of an organism that are com-
posed of chemicals.

A

Cellular level

37
Q

Four basic types of tissues:

A

Epithelial tissue, onnective tissue, muscular tissue, and

nervous tissue

38
Q

Are structures that are composed of two

or more dif erent types of tissues.

A

Organs

39
Q

Contracts to make

body parts move and generates heat.

A

Muscular tissue

40
Q

Which consists of tightly packed smooth muscle cells.

A

Smooth muscle tissue

41
Q

Are groups of cells and the materials
surrounding them that work together to perform a particular
function, similar to the way words are put together to form
sentences.

A

Tissues or Tissue level

42
Q

Covers body surfaces, lines

hollow organs and cavities, and forms glands.

A

Epithelial tissue

43
Q

Carries
information from one part of the body to another through nerve
impulses.

A

Nervous tissue

44
Q

An example of the system level, also called the
organ-system level, which breaks down
and absorbs food. Its organs include the mouth, salivary glands,
pharynx (throat), esophagus (food tube), stomach, small intestine,
large intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

A

Digestive System,

45
Q

Connects, supports, and protects body organs while distributing
blood vessels to other tissues.

A

Connective tissue

46
Q

They have specific functions

and usually have recognizable shapes.

A

Organs

47
Q

Examples of organs:

A

Are

the stomach, skin, bones, heart, liver, lungs, and brain.

48
Q

The stomach’s outer covering is a __________that reduces friction when the stomach moves and rubs against
other organs.

A

Layer of epithelial tissue and connective tissue

49
Q

Contracts to churn and
mix food and then push it into the next digestive organ, the small
intestine.

A

Smooth muscle tissue

50
Q

The innermost lining is an ________layer that
produces fluid and chemicals responsible for digestion in the
stomach.

A

Epithelial tissue

51
Q

Is part of both the digestive system and the hormone-producing
endocrine system.

A

The pancreas

52
Q

SKELETAL SYSTEM
Components:
Functions:

A 
\: Bones and joints
of the body and their associated
cartilages.
\: Supports and
protects body; provides surface
area for muscle attachments;
aids body movements; houses
cells that produce blood cells;
stores minerals and lipids (fats).
53
Q

Which body systems help eliminate wastes?

A

IT’S EITHER INTERGUMENTARY, DIGESTIVE, OR URINARY SYSTEM

54
Q

Is one that does not involve insertion of an instrument or device through
the skin or a body opening.

A

Noninvasive diagnostic technique

55
Q

catabol- =; -ism =

A

Throwing down; a condition

56
Q

percus- =

A

Beat through

57
Q

Examiner observes the body

for any changes that deviate from normal.

A

Inspection

58
Q

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Components:
Functions:

A 
\: Skin and
associated structures, such
as hair, fingernails and
toenails, sweat glands, and
oil glands.
\: Protects body;
helps regulate body
temperature; eliminates
some wastes; helps
make vitamin D; detects
sensations such as touch,
pain, warmth, and cold;
stores fat and provides
insulation.
59
Q

palp- =

A

Gently touching

60
Q

The examiner listens to body sounds to evalu-
ate the functioning of certain organs, of en using a stethoscope to amplify
the sounds.

A

Auscultation

61
Q

The examiner taps

on the body surface with the fingertips and listens to the resulting sound.

A

Percussion

62
Q

The examiner feels body surfaces with

the hands.

A

Palpation

63
Q

MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Components:
Functions:

A 
\: Specifically,
skeletal muscle tissue—
muscle usually attached
to bones (other muscle
tissues include smooth and
cardiac).
\:Participates in
body movements, such as
walking; maintains posture;
produces heat.
64
Q

Is the sum of all chemical processes

that occur in the body.

A

Metabolism

65
Q

PHASES OF METABOLISM:

A

CATABOLISM AND ANABOLISM

66
Q

The breakdown of complex chemical substances into simpler compo-
nents.

A

CATABOLISM

67
Q

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Components:
Functions:

A

:Blood, heart, and blood vessels.
:Heart pumps blood through blood vessels; blood carries
oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from
cells and helps regulate acid–base balance, temperature, and water
content of body fluids; blood components help defend against disease and
repair damaged blood vessels.
