Chapter 1 Powerpoint (Beginning Through Body Systems) Flashcards
Anatomy
Study of the STRUCTURE of the body.
Physiology
Study of the FUNCTIOn of the body.
2 major categories of anatomy
- Macroscopic
- Microscopic
Microscopic anatomy includes…
- Studying Cells
- Studying tissues
Level of biological organization (applicable to this class)
- organelles
- cells
- tissues
- organs
- Organ systems
Example of an organelle:
- mitochondria
- Nucleus
- ribosomes
Example of cell
- Red blood cells
- nerve cells
- ova
Examples of tissues
- cardiac muscle
- bone marrow
Examples of Organs
- heart
- brain
Organ Systems
- Integumentary system
- Cardiorespiratory system
Integumentary System (major organs)
-Skin
Hair
Sweat Glands
Nails
Integumentary system (function)
- Protects against environmental hazards,
- helps regulate body temperature,
- provides sensory information
Major Organs of The Muscular System
Skeletal muscles
Tendons (notice how ligaments are NOT mentioned here)
Why do we have a muscular system? (function)
- Provides movement
- Provides protection and support for other tissues
- Generates heat that maintains body temperature
Major Organs of the Skeletal System
- Bones
- Cartilages
- Associated ligaments
- Bone marrow
Functions of the Skeletal System
- provides support and protection for other tissues
- stores calcium and other minerals
- forms blood cells
Major Organs of the Nervous System
- Brain
- Spinal Cord
- Peripheral nerves
- Sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, etc.)
Major Organs of the Lymphatic system
- Spleen
- Thymus
- Lymphatic Vessels
- Lymph Nodes
- Tonsils
Functions of the lymphatic system
- Defends against infection and disease
- Returns tissue fluids to the bloodstream
- When this system fails, just drink some detox tea…
Major Organs of The Digestive System (the BIG homework one)
- Teeth
- Tongue
- Pharynx
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Small intestine
- Large Intestine
- Liver
- Gallbladder
- Pancreas
Functions of Digestive System
- Processes and digest food
- Absorbs and conserves water
- Absorbs nutrients
- Stores energy Reserves
Major Organs of The Respiratory System
- Nasal Cavities
- Sinuses
- Larynx
- trachea
- Bronchi
- Lungs
- Alveoli
Functions of the Respiratory system,
- Gas exchange (provides O2 and removes CO2)
- Produces sound for communication
Delivers air to lungs, specifically the alveoli (sites of gas exchange).
The Urinary System Major Organs
- Kidneys
- Ureters
- Urinary bladder
- Urethra
