Ch.1 Intro to anatomy/physiology Flashcards
Intergumentary System
Hair, Skin, Nails (protects)
Skeletal system
bones, joints (movement)
muscular system
skeletal muscles (locomotion)
lymphatic systemm
bone marrow, thymus, lymph. vessels, spleen (attacks foreign substances)
respiratory system
nasal cav., pharynx, larynx, trachea, lung, bronchus (gaseous exchange)
digestive system
oral cav. large intestine, stomach, liver, oesophagus, anus (digests food)
nervous system
spinal cord, nerves, brain (control system)
endocrine system
pineal gland, thyroid gland, ovary, testis, thymus (growth)
cardiovascular
heart, blood vessels (pumps blood heart)
urinary
kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra (eliminates waste, regulates water)
reproductive system
prostate gland, scrotum, penis, testis, ovar, uterus, vagina (reproduce)
anatomy
body structures
physiology
body function
gross anatomy
large structures (hear, lungs, kidneys)
microscopic anatomy
too small to see (tissues)
developmental anatomy
structure changes throughout life
embryology
changes that occur before birth
renal physiology
kidney function
neurophysiology
nervous system
cardiovascular physiology
heart and blood vessels
structural organization
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal
atmospheric pressure
gas exchange (air exerts on surface of body)
excretion
lungs, kidneys, skin. (waste products of metabolism are eliminated)
