Chapter 1- 3 Flashcards
Science of the structure and how they are related to one another
Anatomy
The Study of Function
Physiology
chemical - cellular - tissue - organ - organ system - organism
Level of Organization from least to most complex
Forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues from injury. Synthesizes Vitamin D, and Houses cutaneous(Pain, Pressure,etc.) receptors, and sweat and oil glands.
Contains: Hair, Skin, Nails
Integumentary Systems
Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement. Blood cells are formed within bones. Bone stores minerals.
Contains: Joint, and Bones
Skeletal System
Allows Manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat.
Contains: Skeletal muscles
Muscular System
As the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands
Contains: Brain, Nerves, and Spinal Cord
Nervous Systems
Glands secrete hormones the regulate processes such as growth, reproduction and nutrient use(metabolism) by body cells.
Contains: Ovary, Testis, Pancreas, Adrenal Gland, Thymus, Thyroid Gland, Pituitary gland, Pineal gland
Endocrine System
Blood Vessels, transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, waste, etc. the heart pumps.
Contains: Blood Vessels and Heart
Cardiovascular System
Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and return it from blood vessels and return it to blood. Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream. Houses white blood cells(lymphocytes) are involved in immunity. The attack against foreign substances within the body.
Contains: Red bone marrow, Thymus, Lymphatic Vessels, Thoracic Duct, Spleen, Lymph Nodes.
Lymphatic System/Immunity
Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. These exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.
Contains: Nasal Cavity, Pharynx, Larynx, Lung, Trachea, Bronchus
Respiratory System
Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells. Indigestible food stuffs are eliminated as feces.
Contains: Anus, Rectum, Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Stomach, Liver, Oral Cavity, Esophagus
Digestive System
Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte, and acid base balance of the blood
Contains: Kidney, Ureter, Urinary bladder, Urethra
Urinary Systems
Overall function is production of offspring. Tests produce sperm and male sex hormone and male ducts and glands aid in delivery of sperm to the female reproductive tract. Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones. The remaining female structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus. Mammary glands of female breasts produce milk to nourish the newborn.
Contain: Penis, Testis, Scrotum, Ductus deferens, prostate, mammy glands, ovary, uterus, uterine tube, vagina
Male and Female Reproductive System
Structures that can be seen and examined without a microscope
Gross Anatomy
The study of microscopic structures
Histrology
Atom, Molecule, Cells, Tissues, Organs, Systems, Organism
Biological Hierarchy/Levels of Structural Organization(From least to most complex)
Breaking down molecules
Catabolism
The building up of body cells and substances from nutrients
Anabolism
Keeping the body at equilibrium or maintaining a constant, balanced internal environment.
Homeostasis
Reduces or reverses a change(for the better),the end product or end response affects the starting material.
Negative Feedback Look
Enhances a change(for the worse)
Positive Feedback Loop
Monitors in environment (input information) Responds to the stimuli by sending information along the afferent(approaching) pathway to the control center.
Receptor
Determine the set point (98.6 degrees) Analyze input information (from receptor) and determine a response= output information, output info flows through an efferent pathway (exiting) to do the body
Control Center
Carry out the response of the control center’s response to stimuli
Effectore
Contains the brain, enclosed by the skull
Cranial
Contains the spinal cord,enclosed by the vertebral column(back bone)
Vertebral
The chest cavity (formed by the ribs and sterum)
Thoracic
Contains the ehart
Pericardial Cavity
Contains the lungs
Plural Cavity
Everything between the lungs
Mediastinum
A muscular organ involved in breathing, it separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelivc cavity
Diaphragm
Contains the abdominal cavity (digestive organs) and the pelvic cavity(Urinary and reproductive organ)
Abdominopelvic
Organs inside the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
Viscera(internal organs)
Body Cavity Membranes
Serous membranes
Lines the walls of the cavities of serous membranes
Parietal Layer
Cover the viscera in the cavities of serous membranes
Visceral layer
Serous membrane of the pleural cavities
pleura
Serous membrane of the pericardial cavity
Pericardium
Serous membrane of the abdominal cavity
Pertitoneum
