Anatomy & Physiology Flashcards
anatomy
The branch of science that focuses of the structure of the body
Physiology
the branch of science that describes how the body functions
Integumentary
System consists of the skin
Skeletal system
Forms framework for the body
Muscular system
Skeletal , Cardiac, smooth
MS: Skeletal
Muscles attach to the bones
MS: Cardiac
Muscles are found in the heart
MS: Smooth
Found in various organs and tubes
The nervous system
Is made of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense of orgarns.
The endocrine
Systems is numerous glands that secrete hormones
( growing up )
The circulatory
System of blood, heart, and blood vessels
Chemical Level
Atoms bond together to form a molecule
Cellular Level
specific functions
Tissue Level
groups of cells working together
Organ Level
two tissues working together
Organ system Level
Groups of organs that are working together
Organism Level
The entire organism is form by every coordinated function
Respiratory system
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Digestive system
process food and eliminates waste
Urinary System
filter blood and create urine as a waste by product
Reproductive System
Male: organs include the testes
Female : ovaries, uterus
Lymphatic System
Lymph nodes and spleen
Homeostasis
Stable internal environment despite external change
Cell Metabolism
chemical reactions in a cell to maintain life
Energy production
pathways to convert nutrients
Cellular Respiration
Glucose breakdown
Cell Signaling
Pathways of cell signaling / signaling molecules
Waste Elimanation
removal of waste products
Maintenance of Cellular Homeostasis
reactions help cells maintain a balance
Nucleus
Control center of the cell / genetic materialMi
Mitochondria
the powerhouse of the cell / energy source
Lysosome
Organelle containing enzymes / break down waste and worn out cells apart
Cell membrane
Barrier that protects the entire cell / controls what is coming in & out
Cytoplasm
Semi-fluid substance inside the cell
Vacuole
Organelle response for wasted materials
Chloroplast
Photosynthesis in “ Plant Cells “
Golgi Apparatus
Sorts proteins and lipids to transport out the cell
Ribosome
Protein synthesis in the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
membrane network / Synthesis and transport of lipids & proteins
