Q

What are the bodies levels of structural organization?

A

Chemical level – the simplest level. Blocks of matter combined to form molecules such as water and proteins.

Cellular level – the smallest units of living things.

Tissue level – tissues or groups of similar cells that have a common function. The four basic tissue types in the human body are epithelium, muscle, connective tissue, and nervous tissue.

Organ level –

Organ system level – organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose

15
Q

Digestive

A

Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells

16
Q

Urinary system

A

Eliminates nitrogenous waste from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood.

17
Q

Reproduction

A

Occurs at the cellular and organismal level

18
Q

Receptor

A

A type of sensor that monitors the environment in response to changes, called stimuli, by sending information to the second component, the control center

19
Q

The control center

A

Determines the set point, which is the level or range at which a variable is to be maintained.

20
Q

Effector

A

Provides the means for the control center’s response to the stimulus, output.

21
Q

Superior

A

Above, cranial. Toward the head end.

22
Q

Inferior

A

Below. Away from the head end.

23
Q

Ventral

A

Anterior, front of body

24
Q

Dorsal

A

Posterior, behind the body

25
Q

Medial

A

Mid line of the body

26
Q

Lateral

A

Away from the midline of the body. Arms are lateral to the chest. The outer side

27
Q

Intermediate

A

Between a medial and lateral structure. The collarbone is intermediate between the breastbone and shoulder

28
Q

Proximal

A

The point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk. The elbow is proximal to the wrist
Closer to the body

29
Q

Distal

A

Farther away from the origin of a body part. The knee is distal to the thigh

30
Q

Superficial- external

A

Toward or at the body surface. The skin is superficial to the skeletal muscles

31
Q

Deep- internal

A

Away from the body surface more internal the lungs are deep to the skin

32
Q

Anatomical position

A

Body face forward in the thumbs point away from the body

33
Q

Homeostasis

A

A dynamic state of equilibrium, or a balance, and which internal conditions very that always within relatively narrow limits

34
Q

Sagittal plane

A

A vertical plane that divides the body into right and left parts

35
Q

Mid sagittal plane

A

A sagittal plane that lies directly from the midline of the body

36
Q

Frontal plane

A

Lies vertically. Divides the body into anterior and posterior your parts. Also called a coronal plane

37
Q

Traverse plane or horizontal plane

Cross section

A

Runs horizontally from right to left dividing the body into superior and inferior parts
