Structure and function of the human body
Human Anatomy and Physiology
Invistigate the structure of the body
Anatomy
Function of the human body
physiology
Is the study of body by system
Systemic Anatomy
Study of organization of the body by areas
Regional Anatomy
Chemical reactions that occur within cell
Cell metabolism
Does not require the cell to expand energy
Passive Membrane Transport
requires the cell to expand energy
Active Membrane Transport
Copies Dna
Transcription
Changing something from one another
Translation
When lying face upward
Suprine
Lying face downward
Prone
Above
(Cephalic)
Superior
Below
(Cadual)
Inferior
Line the trunk cavities and cover the organs of these cavity
Serous Membrane
Scientific discipline concerned with the atomic composition and structure of substances and the reaction they undergo.
chemistry
Do not have electrical charge
Neutrons
have negative charge
electrons
Is a measure of the H+ concentration of a solution
pH scale.
Caused by the inability of lysosomal enzymes to break down carbohydrates glycogen produced in certain cells.
Pompe Disease
The microscopic study of tissue structure
Histology
Covers and protects surfaces, both outside and inside the body
Epithelium
Consist of a single layer of cells.
Simple Epithelium
Consist of more than one layer of cells
Stratified Epithelium
A special type of simple Epithelium
Pseudostratified Columnar epithelium
Cells are flat or scalelike
Squamous
cells are cube-shaped, about as wide as they are tall.
Cuboidal
cells are cube-shaped, about as wide as they are tall.
Cuboidal
Cells tend to be taller than than they are wide.
Columnar
Consist of the skin and accessory structures.
Integumentary system
The most superficial layer of skin.
Epidermis
Composed of dense collagenous connective tissue
dermis
Consist of dead squamous cells filled with keratin
Stratum corneum
The upper part of dermis
dermal papillae
When the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light, a precursor molecule of what Vitamin is formed?
vitamin D
It is a structural, fibrous protein found in the dermis
Collagen
A systematic disease that occurs mainly in young women and particularly affects the kidney , heart lungs and skin.
Systemic lupus Erythematosus
Involved only epidermis and are red and painful
First degree burn
Damage both dermis and epidermis
Second degree burn
Epidermis and dermis are completely destroyed and recovery occurs from the edges of the burn wound.
Third degree burn
Major storage site for calcium in the body
Bone
Occurs when an open wound extends to the site of the fracture or when a fragment of bone protrudes through the skin
Open fracture
bacterial infection in bone.
Osteomyelitis
U shaped bone.
Hyoid Bone
Only slight movement can occur at these joints.
Cartilaginous Joints
Freely movable joints that contain fluid in a cavity surrounding the ends of articulating bones.
Synovial Joints
Pain and stiffness especially in spine
Osteoporosis
Joints that allow little or no movement
Fibrous Joints
Allow gas exchange in the lungs
Alveoli
Removal of waste products from the body
Excretion
Inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands
Acne
Normal body temperature
37 degree/ 98.7 F
External tissue membrane
Skin
