Basic Human Body Flashcards
Levels of Organization
• CELLS
• TISSUES – EPITHELIAL TISSUE – CONNECTIVE TISSUE – MUSCLE TISSUE – NERVE TISSUE
- ORGANS
- SYSTEMS
Levels of Organization (detailed)
• Chemical Level
- atoms & molecule
• Cellular Level
- cells
• Tissue Level
- Epithelial tissue
• Organ Level
- small intestine
• Organ System Level
- liver, stomach, gallbladder, large intestine, small intestine
• Organismal Level
Cell
- Cell wall
- Nuclear membrane (double membrane that encloses the cell nucleus)
- Nucleolus (contains cells chromosomes; inside the nuclear membrane)
- vacuole (membrane containing fluid)
- Centrosome consist of centrosphere enclosing two centrioles
- Net-knot of chromatin forming a pseudo-nucleolus
- Chromatin network
- Cell - inclusion (parapiasm)

Nervous System
- BRAIN
- SPINAL CORD
- CRANIAL NERVES
- SPINAL NERVES

Endocrine System
Hypothalamus gland in the brain sends signal to the pituitary gland. Connects nervous system with endocrine system.
• HORMONES • GLANDS 1. PITUITARY 2. THYROID 3. PARATHYROID 4. ADRENAL 5. PINEAL 6. GONADS 7. PANCREAS 8. THYMUS
Circulatory System
• HEART • BLOOD VESSELS 1. ARTERIES 2. VEINS 3. CAPILLARIES
Circulation of the heart
- Deoxygenated blood travels from the body through the SUPERIOR VENA CAVA and the INFERIOR VENA CAVA.
- Blood then travels into the RIGHT ATRIUM of the heart then passes through the TRICUSPID VALVE to the RIGHT VENTRICLE.
- The blood passes through the PULMONIC VALVE into the PULMONARY ARTERY. The blood goes to the lungs for oxygen.
- The lungs oxygenate the blood and it travels back to the heart in the PULMONARY VEIN.
- The blood goes into the LEFT ATRIUM and passes through the BICUSPID (or MITRAL) VALVE to the LEFT VENTRICLE.
- Then the blood travels through the AORTIC VALVE to the AORTA.
Immune System
• BONE MARROW • LYMPH NODES • LYMPHOID ORGANS – THYMUS – SPLEEN – TONSILS • IMMUNE RELATED CELLS - WHITE BLOOD CELLS (WBC) - ANTIBODIES/ANTIGENS - T CELLS
Hematologic / Lymphatic System
• BLOOD (Hematologic) - PLASMA - FORMED ELEMENTS - RBCs - WBCs - Clotting Factors (platelets) • LYMPHATIC – LYMPH FLUID – LYMPH VESSELS – LYMPH NODES – LYMPHOID ORGANS
Respiratory System
The pathway for air exchange
Upper respiratory tract: • NOSE • SINUSES • PHARYNX (throat) • LARYNX (voice box) • TRACHEA
Lower respiratory tract • BRONCHI • BRONCHIOLES • ALVEOLI • “LUNGS”
Digestive System
• MOUTH • TEETH • TONGUE • ESOPHAGUS • STOMACH • SMALL INTESTINE • LARGE INTESTINE – APPENDIX – CECUM – COLON (ascending, transverse, descending) – RECTUM – ANUS • ACCESORY ORGANS – LIVER – GALLBLADDER – PANCREAS – PERITONEUM
Urinary / Renal System (Genitourinary)
- KIDNEYS (2)
- URETERS (2)
- BLADDER
- URETHRA
Reproductive System (Male)
Glands of reproduction are gonads; all are influenced by hormones
MALE • TESTES • DUCTAL SYSTEM • SCROTUM • PENIS • ACCESORY GLANDS
Reproductive System (Female)
Glands of reproduction are gonads; all are influenced by hormones
FEMALE • OVARIES • OVIDUCTS (fallopian tubes) • UTERUS • VAGINA • EXTERNAL GENITALIA • BREASTS
