Crash Course #1-5 Flashcards
where body is erect and facing forward with arms at the sides and palms forward
Classic Anatomical Position
What is the ability of all living systems to maintain stable, internal conditions no matter what is called?
Homeostasis
Enumerate the four primary tissues
Nervous tissues, muscle tissues, ephitelial issues, and connective issues
In order for us to see a specimen under a microscope:
- You have to first ______, or fix it
- ______ it super thin sections
- ______ the materials to enhance its contrasts, because different stains latch on to different structures, this process lets us what is going on in any given tissue sample
Preserve
Slice
Stain
He was the first to observe microorganisms, bacteria, spermatozoa, and muscle fibers.
Antonie Leeuwenhoek
It was only in what year that the history got its first true histological stain by the German Anatomist?
1850s
What are the four primary tissues?
Nervous tissues
Muscle tissues
Epithelial Tissues
Connective tissues
What is Carmine?
It is a compound used for staining tissues
What are the two different cell types of nervous tissues? What are the function of these two?
Glial cells and neurons. The glial cells serve to support the nerve cells. Meanwhile, neurons are the basic unit of nervous systems that are responsible for sensing stimuli and transmitting signals to and from different parts of organisms.
Who was the first to observe the microorganisms, bacteria, muscle fibers under a microscope?
Antonie Leeuwenhoek in 1673
What are the level of our body’s organization?
Cells, tissues, organ, organ systems, and the body
Name at least five of the major organ systems of our body
Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Lympathic Respiratory Endocrine Nervous Urinary Female Reproductive Male Reproductive
What is the Complementarity of Structure and Function
It is the basic idea that what a structure can do depends on its specific form.
What are the three structures of Muscle tissues?
Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
What is sagittal and parasagittal plane?
Sagittal plane is the structures toward midline; it comes vertically and divides a body or organ in left and right parts. Meanwhile, a parasagittal plane is parallel to sagittal
What is coronal plane?
coronal plane or frontal plane splits everything vertically into front and back
What is transverse plane?
Transverse plane & horizontal plane divides the body top and bottom.
What is Epithelial tissue?
It covers the surface pf your body when it combines with connective tissue to create skin. The epithelium does all this to protect your deeper layers of tissue from injury or infection.
What is proper epithelium?
it covers and lines your outer and inner body.
What is Glandular Epithelium?
it forms glands and secretes hormones
Define anatomy.
is the examine of the human body structure. It also means to dissect, pr cut apart and separate the parts of the body for study
Define surface anatomy.
is the study of external features such as bony projections, which serves as landmarks for locating deeper structures
Define anatomical imaging
anatomical imaging involves the use of xrays, ultraso, magnetic resonance imaging (mri)
What is physiology?
It is the study pf function of the human body.
What are two epithelium?
Proper and Glandular
What is proper epithelium ?
Proper Epithelium covers or protects the inside and outside of the body.
What is the Glandular Epithelium?
Glandular epithelium forms gland and secretes hormones to protect the inside of our body.
What is gross anatomy?
It is the study of human body that can only be seen under microscope.
What are the three large cavities that do not open to the outside of the body?
Throcacic
Abdominal
Pelvic
What does directional terms mean?
It always prefer to the anatomical position, regardless of the body’s actual position.
What are the characteristics of Life?
The characteristics of life are ORGANIZATION, METABOLISM, RESPONSIVENESS, DEVELOPMENT, AND REPRODUCTION
Define tissue.
Tissues are group of cells that have similar structure and act together to perform a specific function.
What are the two basic approaches to the study of anatomy?
Systematic anatomy & regional anatomy
What are the two general ways to examine the internal pf a living person?
Surface anatomy and anatomical imaging
What is human physiology?
It is the study of a specific organism, the human,
What are the subdivisions that emphasize specific organizational levels?
Cellular and systematic physiology
