43
Atom
It’s the simplest organized substance known , although it too is composed of smaller particles.
44
Organelles
Atoms may bind together to form molecules, which in turn combine to form large non living structures such as parts of cells called organelles
45
Cell
It’s the most basic form of life in the body
46
Tissues categories
Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue
47
Organ
Two or more different tissues combine to form an organ
48
Organ system
A group of organs sharing a general function is called organ system
49
Atoms of the body:
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
50
Molecules to form human body:
Sugar, proteins, water
51

52
Cells to form human body:
Epithelial cell, nerve cell, muscle cell
53
Tissues to form human body:
Epithelial tissue, nervous tissue, muscle tissue , connective tissue
54
Organs ( building blocks of the body, complexity increases in the direction of the arrow
Lung, brain, stomach, kidney
55
Organ systems of human body:
Respiratory system, nervous system, digestive system, circulatory system
56
Organism:
Human organism
57
Cardiovascular system:
Major arteries, heart and major veins
58
Cardiovascular system function:
Transport substances to and from body cells
59
Respiratory system
Pharynx, trachea, right lung, nose, larynx, bronchi, and left lung
60
Respiratory system function:
Exchanges gases between the external environment and blood
61
Urinary system
Urinary bladder, urethra, kidneys (2), uterus(2)
62
Urinary system functions
Removes nitrogenous waste and excess water and salt from their bloodstream
63
Lymphatic system:
Tonsils, thymus, lymphatic vessels, spleen, lymph nodes
64
Function of the lymphatic system:
Removes unwanted substances and recycle fluid to the bloodstream
65
Digestive system:
Pharynx, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, colon, mouth, saliva glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine
66
Function of digestive system:
Prepares food for absorption into the bloodstream and eliminates solid wastes
67
Female reproduction system:
Mammary glands, Fallopian tube, uterus, ovary, vagina.
68
Function of female reproduction system:
Produces female gametes for fertilization and provide support for prenatal development
69
Male reproduction system:
Vas deferens, testis, prostate, urethra, penis
70
Function of the male reproduction system:
Produces male gambles for fertilization and a means to inseminate a female
71
Endocrine system:
Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries or testis (male)
72
Function of the endocrine system:
Controls homeostasis by realizing hormones into the blood stream, which alter body functions
73
Nervous system:
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
74
Function of nervous system?
Controls homeostasis by sensing changes in the environment, processing information and initiating body responses.
75
Musculoskeletal system:
Bone, muscle, joints, tendons
76
Function of musculoskeletal system :
Muscles produce movement of body parts; bones and joints support and protect soft body parts, store minerals and form blood cells.
77
Integumentary system:
Hair, skin, nails
78
Function of the integumentary system:
Protects the body from fluid loss, injury and infection
79
Anatomical directional terms:
Are words used to describe the relative location of the body or its parts
80
Anatomical position:
Straight posture with the face forward, arms at the side, palms of the hands facing forward, and legs apart with the feet pointing forward
81
Supine position
Patient Lying on the back
82
Prone position

Example:
The head is superior to the neck
84
Medial
(Medi/al)
Toward the middle line, which is an imaginary vertical line down the middle of the body
Example: the nose is medial to the ears
85
Coronal or frontal plane:
Divides the body from front and back
86

It fixes a word with -ion or -al both with the same meaning ( pertaining to)
92
Lateral
( later/al)
Toward the side
The ears are lateral to the nose
93

Example: the heart leis deep to the rib cage
95
Proximal
(Proxim/al)
Toward the origin of attachment to the trunk
Example: the elbow is proximal to the wrist
96
Distal
(Dist/al)
Away from the origin of attachment to the trunk
Example: the knee is distal to the hip and thigh
97
What is anatomical plane?
Plane is an imaginary flat field that is used as point of reference for viewing three dimensional objects
98
Three major Anatomical planes:
Frontal or coronal plane, Sagittarius plane, and transverse plane
99
