Chapter 1 Bio 210 Flashcards
Gross anatomy/ Microscopic anatomy
Examine structures that can’t be seen with naked eye
What is anatomy, & physiology?
Anatomy/ study of structure and form ( to cut apart)
Physiology/ the study of function of body parts (how does it work)
Cytology
Histology
– study of cells & internal structure
– study of tissue
Regional
Systemic
– examines a specific region of body
– studies a specific system
Surface Anatomy
Comparative anatomy
Embryology
- examines outside of body without dissecting it
- examines similarities & differences in different species
- developmental changes from conception to birth
List examples of Physiology topics
- Cardiovascular: examines how heart, blood vessels, & blood function
- Neurophysiology: examines how nerve impulses travel & nervous system organs work
- Respiratory Physiology: respiratory gases are transferred by gas exchange between lungs & blood vessels
- Reproductive Physiology: explore how regulation of reproductive hormones can drive reproductive cycle & influence sex cell production
Pathophysiology
Investigates the relationship between the functioning of an organ system and a disease or injury to that organ system
Name the characteristics describe living things..
- organization (organize)
- metabolism ( sum of all chemical reactions that happen in body)
- growth & development
- responsiveness ( react to stimuli)
- regulation ( homeostasis)
- reproduction (sex cells develop into new organisms/ produce new cells for growth, maintenance & repair)
Name levels of Organization
Simplest to complex
- chemical (involves atoms & molecules)
- atoms
- molecules
- organelles
- cell
- tissue
- organ
- organ system
Negative feedback
(Blood pressure up)
Positive feedback
(Breast feeding)
Decrease/ eliminates stimulus
Increases the stimulus
What are the components of control mechanism?
- Receptor (detects a change)
- Control Center ( interprets input from receptor initiates change
- effector ( brings about the change)
