Cell Function & Body Systems Flashcards
1
Q
Define
physiology
A
explain physical and chemical processes for the origin, development, and progression of life
2
Q
functional organization of body
A
cells<tissues<organs<systems
3
Q
define
gross anatomy
A
macroscopic examination of structures of the human body
4
Q
goals of gross anatomy
A
- define the 3-D relationship of structures in the human body
- define the functional relationship between structures in the human body
5
Q
structures of integumentary system
A
- skin
- hair
- nails
- sweat glands
- subcutaneous tissue (fat)
6
Q
function
integumentary system
A
- body’s outer protective covering
- extensive sensory organ (via connections with nervous system)
7
Q
structures of skeletal system
A
bones & cartilage
8
Q
function
skeletal system
A
- shape & support of body
- protect vital organs
- storage of minerals
- attachments for muscles
9
Q
structures of articular system
A
joints & ligaments
10
Q
functions
articular system
A
- connect bony parts of skeletal system
- provide sites of movement
- confers stability in non-moveable joints
11
Q
structures of muscular system (types)
A
- skeletal muscle
- smooth muscle
- cardiac muscle
12
Q
functions
muscular system
A
- skeletal muscle contracts to move body parts
- smooth/cardiac muscle contract to propel, expel, or control flow of fluids in hollow organs
13
Q
Primary Divisions of Nervous system
A
- CNS (brain & SC)
- peripheral NS (nerves & ganglia)
- Autonomic NS (sympathetic, parasympathetic, enteric)
14
Q
functions
nervous system
A
- control & coordinate functions of organ systems
- CNS - relay center and control of sensory & motor pathways
- PNS - send & receive motor & sensory info to body systems and from CNS
- ANS - unconscious functions (sympathetics fight/flight; parasympathetics rest/digest)
- special senses - smell, sight, taste, hearing
15
Q
function
circulatory system
A
transport of body fluids
