Chap 1-3 Flashcards
Macroscopic anatomy (gross)
types of macroscopic anatomy
examination of relatively large structures and features usually visible with the unaided eye
systemic anatomy and regional anatomy
Anatomy
To cut back ; to cut up ; the study of structure
Systemic anatomy
examples of systemic anatomy
study of the structure of organ system
eg: skeletal system, muscular system, cardiovascular system
Regional anatomy
study of a region of the body
eg: knee = skin, bones, muscles, ligaments
Microscopic anatomy
types of microscopic anatomy
exam of anything that needs to be seen with microscope (divided into size)
histology, cytology, ultrastructural anatomy
Histology
study of tissues
Cytology
study of cells (smaller than tissues)
Ultrastructural anatomy
study of components of cell (smaller than cells)
Physiology
the study of function
Systemic physiology
system of the body
eg: how does the digestive system function?
Hystophysiology
study of nervous cells
Cytophysiology
study of tissues and cells
Morphology
study of shape
Pathology
study of disease
Pharmacology
study of drugs
Microbiology
study of small living things
Chemicals - 6 chemicals that make up 97% of body weights
carbon hydrogen nitrogen oxygen phosphate, sulfur
Organelles
parts / structure that make up cells
Cells
fundamentals of life;
intracellular fluid
extracellular fluid
interstitial
plasma
Tissues
made up of cells ; group of cells that have the same function
there are 4 tissues in a body
Organs
made up of 2 or more tissues ; have very specific functions
Organ system
bunch of organs with the same function
Organisms
made of 11 systems ; most important - Reproductive
Sagittal
separate right from left
Midsagittal
separate EQUAL right and left
Frontal (coronal)
separate front from back
Horizontal (transverse or cross-section)
separate top from bottom
Anterior - posterior
towards the front - towards the back
Superior - inferior
towards up - towards bottom
Medial - lateral
inside (middle) - outside (the side)
Superficial (external) - Deep (internal)
towards the outside - towards the inside
Proximal - distal
towards the start - towards the end
Body cavities
posterior cavity
anterior cavity
abdominal (peritoneal) cavity
Posterior cavity
cranial cavity - brain
spinal cavity - spinal cord
Anterior cavity
thoracic cavity - pleural cavity, pericardial cavity, mediastinum cavity
Peritoneal cavity
abdominal cavity - contain digestive system
pelvic cavity - reproductive system, urinary system
Membranes
help to protect body from foreign attack;
mucous
serous
synovial
cutaneous
Mucous membrane
produce mucous
wherever the body is exposed to the outside environment
Serous membrane
produce serous fluid - outside the heart
parietal layer - on the wall; ribcage
visceral layer - outside of organ
Synovial membranes
found in the joint; provide lubricant to the joint
Cutaneous membranes
refers to skin
Response to stressors
homeostasis
Negative feedback
correction
eg: body temp, sugar level
Positive feedback
exaggeration
eg: blood clot, giving birth
Element
pure form; same type of atom in larger quantity
Atom
compose chemicals; single unit of the element
Molecule
atoms bonded
eg: H2O
Compound
composed by molecules
Ion
anything with a charge
Subatomic particles
neutrons
protons
electrons
Atomic number
the number of proton
Atomic mass
protons and neutrons
Isotopes
an atom that has the same atomic number but different in atomic mass
Chemical bonding
force of attraction based on octet rule
Ionic bonding
giving and taking of e- ;
cation gives electron to anion
eg: Na+ Cl-
Covalent bond
sharing of electrons (single, double, triple bond)
a lot more stronger than ionic bond
eg: H2O, CH4, O2
Polar and non-polar bond
Polar
unequal sharing (hydrophilic)
Non-polar
equal sharing (hydrophobic)
Hydrogen bond
attraction between 2 molecules that contain hydrogen
weak attraction
eg: ice cube floats on water
Chemical reaction
re-association of bonds
Synthesis (combination, anabolic) reaction
particles combine to make a new product
A + B –> AB
Decomposition (catabolic) reaction
particles breaks apart
AB –> A + B
Exchange (displacement) reaction
exchanging the partners of the particles
single: AB + C –> CB + A
double: AB + CD –> AC + BD
