25
the scientific discipline that investigates the structure of the body.
anatomy
26
involves the use of x-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other technologies to create pictures of internal structures
anatomical imaging
27
the scientific discipline that deals with the processes or functions of living things.
physiology
28
subdivisions that emphasizes specific organizational levels
systematic physiology and cellular physiology
29
STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODY
1. chemical level 2. cell level 3. tissue level 4. organ level 5. organ system level 6. organismal level
30
the level of organization that involves how atoms, such as hydrogen and carbon, interact and combine into molecules
chemical level
31
basic structural and functional units or organisms, such as humans and animals
cell
32
what are combine to form organelles that make up some cels
molecules
33
molecule cells use for a source of energy
adenosine triphosphate or ATP
34
little organs
organelles
35
organization level that group of similar cells and the material sorrounding them
tissue level
36
tissue that covers body surfaces, lines, hollow organs, cavities and forms glands
epithelial tissue
37
tissue that connects, supports and protects body organs while distributing blood vessels to other tissues
connective tissue
38
tissue that contracts to make body parts to move and generate
muscular tissue
39
tissue that carries information from one part of the body to another through nerve impulses
nervous tissue
40
FOUR BASIC TYPES OF TISSUE
1. epithelial tissue 2. connective tissue 3. muscular tissue 4. nervous tissue
41
BASIC LIFE PROCESSES
1. metabolism 2. responsiveness 3. movement 4. growth 5. differentiation 6. reproduction
42
the normal range the body tries to stay within
set point
43
different tissues combined to form organs
organ level
44
when organs group to form a system
organ system level
45
any living thing considered as a whole, whether composed of one cell, such as bacterium, or of trillion cell
organism
46
complex of organ systems that are mutually dependent upon one another
human organism
47
ability to use energy to perform vital functions, such as growth movement and reproduction. eg. humans obtain energy from food
metabolism
48
ability of an organism to sense changes in the environment and make adjustments that help maintain its life eg. if temperature increases in a hot environment, sweat glands produce sweat, which can lower body temperature down to normal level
responsiveness
49
refers to the increase in the size of all or part of the organism
growth
50
includes the changes an organism undergoes through time begins when the egg is fertilized by the sperm and ends in death
development
51
change in cell structure and function from generalized to specialized
differentiation
52
formation of new cells or new organism
reproduction
53
existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body despite fluctuations in either the external or internal environment
homeostasis
54
what do you call the process when our body sweat, shiver
homeostasis mechanism
55
systems that provides protection
integumentary and skeletal system
56
transports nutrients, waste products, gases and hormones throughout the body
cardiovascular system
57
feedback which means "to decrease"
negative feedback
58
when any deviation from the setpoint is made smaller or resisted; does not prevent variation but maintains variation within setpoint.
negative feedback
59
monitors the value of a variable, such as body temperature, by detecting stimuli
receptor
60
occur when the initial stimulus further stimulates the response
positive feedback
61
compares the value of the variable against the set point
control center
62
information about the value of the variable is sent here
control center
63
produces a response that maintains homeostasis
effector
