Chapter Two Flashcards
What are the survival needs of the body
Nutrients, Water, atmospheric pressure, and oxgen
What are the serious membrane layers seperated by and what do they do?
They are seperated by a cacity containing serous fluid. This fluid allows organs to slide without friction across the cavity walls
What is Surface? (in body cavity terms)
Visceral
What is the “walls of the cavity” in body cavity terms?
Parietal
What is Pericardium?
Heart
What is peritoneum?
Abdominal pelvic organs
What is pleura?
Lung
What is Serosa?
The Ventral Cavity
Where are Visceral Serosas found?
- Organ Surfaces
- Membranes within the abdominopelvic subdivision
Why is anatomical position important?
Anatomical Position is important because it allows a common point of reference for body position to help communicate anatomical relationships
What are Chemically Inert Elements
Means the valence shell is complete
What are chemically reactive elements
This means the valence shell is incomplete
What are the two types to Ionic Bonding and what do they do?
- Anion: An atom that becomes more negative and accepts the electron
- Cation: An atom that becomes more positive and donates the electron
what is Nonpolar Covalent Bonding?
When an electron is equally shared between two atoms and there is no pulling of the electron
What are Polar Covalent Bonds
When electrons are unequally shared between atoms. One atom has a stronger affinity for the electron than others
What are Acids?
A pH level of less than seven
