Ch1 Flashcards
What is the study of how the body and its parts work or function?
Physiology
What is the study of structure and shape of body?
Anatomy
Why would you have a hard time learning and understanding physiology if you did not also understand anatomy?
Anatomy and physiology are related. A given function can occur only if the corresponding structure allows it.
Kidney function, bone growth, and beating of the heart are all topics of anatomy. True or false?
False. They are all topics of physiology.
What are the six levels of structural organization that make up the human body and explain how they are related?
Chemical level (Atom, Molecule) Cellular level Tissue level Organ level Organ system level Organisms level
What are the names of organ system of body, and briefly state the major function of each system?
Cardiovascular, skeletal, lymphatic, digestive, urinary, reproductive, nervous, muscular, respiratory, endocrine, integumentary system.
What is gross anatomy?
Studying large part in anatomical levels.
What is microscopic anatomy?
Very small structure
What is the organ system that forms the external body system?
Integumentary system.
In which organ system is cutaneous nerve receptors located?
Integumentary system
What are four functions of integumentary system?
- forms external body system
- regulate temperature
- protect deep tissues
- location of cutaneous nerve receptor
What are the function of skeletal system?
- protect and support body organs
- provide muscle attachment
- site for blood formation
- stores minerals
What are the functions of muscular system?
- maintain posture
- produce movement
- produce heat
What is fast acting control system in our body system?
Nervous system
Which body system activates muscles and glands?
Nervous system
What are the functions of endocrine system?
Secrete regulatory hormones : growth, reproduction, metabolism
What are the functions of cardiovascular system?
Transports materials in body by blood pumped by heart.
Which organ system returns fluids to blood vessels?
Lymphatic system
What are the functions of lymphatic system ?
- returns fluids to blood vessels
- involved in immunity
Which organ system keeps blood supplied with oxygen?
Respiratory system
What are the functions of respiratory system?
- keeps blood supplied with oxygen
- removes carbon dioxide
Which organ system eliminates indigestive materials?
Digestive system
What are the functions of digestive system?
- break down food
- absorb nutrients into blood
- eliminate indigestive materials
Which organ system maintain acid-base balance ?
Urinary system
What are the functions of urinary system?
- eliminate nitrogenous wastes

Produce offsprings
Which organ system stores minerals?
Skeletal system
What are the four main materials that cardiovascular system transports in body via blood pumped by heart?
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Nutrients
Wastes
What do we need in order to keep life function ?
Maintain boundary Movement Responsiveness Digestion Metabolism Excretion Reproduction Growth
What does growth mean in necessary life function?
Increase cell size and number of cells
What does movement mean in necessary life function?
Locomotion
Movement of substances
Why metabolism is necessary for life function?
Because it produces energy and makes body structure
What do we need to survive?
Nutrients Oxygen Water Stable body temperature Atmospheric pressure
Why do we need water to survive?
Water consists of 60-80% of body weight
It provided for metabolic reaction
