Anabolism
Process of building up complex proteins from simpler substances
Catabolism
Process of breaking down complex foods into simpler substances
Metabolism
The total of the chemical processes in a cell: anabolism + catabolism
Cytoplasm
Material inside the cell membrane that surrounds the nucleus
Nucleus
The control center of the cell that contains chromosomes
Vacuole
Fluid-filled cavity containing food, water, or waste products
Tissues
Groups of similar cells working together for a specific function
Adipose tissue
Collection of fat cells
Connective tissue
Binds and supports various structures
Epithelial tissue consists of:
epithelium, endothelium, and mesothelium
Epithelium
Lines external and internal body surfaces
Endothelium
Lines organs and blood vessels
Mesothelium
Lines cavities
Muscle tissue consists of:
Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle, and Visceral muscle
Skeletal muscle
Striated, voluntary muscle controlling movement
Cardiac muscle
Striated, involuntary muscle controlling the heart
Visceral musscle
Smooth, involuntary muscle controlling the internal organs
Nerve tissue
Cells that conduct electrical impulses all over the body
Organ
Different tissues working together for a specific function
System
Group of different organs working together for a complex function
Cavity
Different areas that contain organs working together
Anatomy
The form and structure of the body
Benign
Not malignant, non-invasive; not spreading
Cartilage
Flexible connective tissue attached to bones at a joint
Diaphragm
Thin, muscular partition separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities
Endocrine glands
Glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream
Exocrine glands
Glands that secrete chemicals through tube everywhere in the body
Larynx
Voice box
Lavage
Irrigation or washing out of an organ or cavity
Malignant
Tending to become progressively worse
Membrane
Thin layer of tissue that covers a surface, lines a cavity, or divides a space or an organ
Peritoneum
Membrane surrounding the organs in the abdomen
Pharynx
Throat
Physiology
Study of the body’s function
Trachea
Windpipe
Umbilicus
Navel
Ureter
Tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
Urethra
Tube that carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body
Viscera
Internal organs
Evisceration
Displacement of internal organs outside the cavity that should contain them
Hernia
Abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through the structure that should contain it
Prolapse
Abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a natural opening
Dorsal
