Anatomy and Physiology ( Module 1 & 2. ) Flashcards
Defined Anatomy
Study of the body parts.
Defined Physiology.
The study of how the human body function.
Defined skeletal system.
Protects and supports body organs.
study of large body structures visible to the naked eye.
e.g. Lungs, Brains, and Lungs
Gross anatomy
–deals with structures to small to be seen by the naked eye.
Microscopic.
Blood vessels that transport blood and oxygen throughout the body.
Cardiovascular system.
keeps blood that supplied oxygen and removes carbon dioxide in blood.
Respiratory system.
Break downs food into absobdable units.
Digestive system
Responsible for reproducing or producing an offspring.
Produce sperm
Male reproductive system
Set of metabolic pathway that breakdowns
molecules into smaller units.
Catabolism.
Set of metabolic pathway that construct molecules
from smaller units.
Anabolism.
lying flat, especially face downward.
Anatomical Body Positions
Prone.
Lying flat, Face upward.
Anatomical Body Positions
Supine.
Nearer the front, especially situated in the front of the body.
e.g. Mouth\Oral
Anterior\Ventral.
Further back in position, the back side of the body.
e.g. Butt cheeks\Gluteal
Posterior\Dorsal
Anatomical term for left side.
Proximal.
Anatomical term for Right side.
Distal.
Anatomical for ankle.
Tarsal.
Anatomical term for Forearm.
Antebrachial
Anatimical term for groin.
Anterior
Inguinal.
Smallest unit of life.
Cells.
organelle that controls
cellular activities.
Nucleus.
The gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell.
Cytoplasm.
Cells that allows to
recognize each other.
Cell Recognition.
Control Center contains instructions
for building all the Body Proteins.
Nucleus.
Cell powerplant contain ATP -supplying organelles,containing DNA and RNA.
Mitochondria.
Cell groups with similar structure and function.
epithelial , connective , muscle and nervous
Tissues.
Cell sheet covering body surface or cavity, boundary-forming tissue.
Epithelial Tissue
Supports and binds other tissues together.
Connective tissue.
responsible for most type of
body movement.
Muscle Tissue.
It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities.
found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Nervous Tissue.
Digests biological molecules, including bacteria and cell debris.
Lysosomes.
Protein synthesis sites, small, dark staining granules containing proteins and RNA.
Ribosomes.
copying one double-stranded DNA molecule to create two identical DNA.
DNA
REPLICATION.
create, decrease store, and export biological substances
Degrade potentially harmful substances.
Endomembrane system.
division of the nucleus, is the sequence of occurrences gives the replicated DNA
two from the parent cellmother cells
Mitosis.
A single strand and three forms that cooperate
to carry out DNA function.
RNA.
Gland.
Produced hormones that hit a specific target and enter
the blood or lymphatic fluid organs.
Endocrine.
secrete their substances into body cavities or on body surfaces.
Exocrine.
