What am I describing:
Form, locale, and relationship of body parts
Anatomy
What am I describing:
How body parts work to carry out “necessary life functions”
Physiology
Name the functions:
Integumentary System
• Protects deeper tissues (injury, desiccation, infiltration)
• Contributes to vit. D synthesis
• Houses receptors, seat, and oil glands
Name the Functions:
Skeletal System
• Protects/Supports organs
• Provides leverage for muscles
• Forms blood cells (hematopoiesis)
• Stores minerals
Name the Functions:
Muscular System
• Allows manipulation (environment, locomotion, expression, fluids)
• Maintains posture
• Produces heat
Name the Functions:
Nervous System
Fast-acting Coordinator
• Responds to internal/external changes via muscles and glands
• Memory
Name the Functions:
Endocrine System
Slower-acting (but enduring) coordinator
• Regulates processes (growth, reproduction, metabolism) via hormones
Name the Functions:
Cardiovascular (Circulatory) System
• Pumps blood
• Transportation (O², CO², hormones, clotting factors, chemical precursors, urea, antibodies, carrier proteins, bicarbonate, blood cells, enzymes, heat, nutrients
Name the Functions:
Lymphatic System
• Pick up/drop off fluid leaked from blood vessels
• Houses lymphocytes
Name the Functions:
Immune System
• Disposal (debris, foreign substances, abnormal growth)
Name the Functions:
Respiratory System
• Ventilation and respiration
• Supply blood with O², Removal of CO²
• pH balance
• Thermoregulation
• Speech
Name the Functions:
Digestive System
• Breaks down food to be absorbed
• Eliminates indigestables as feces
What type of epithelium is SEROSAE?
Simple Squamous Epithelium
What are the nutrient monomers?
(Protein)
Amino Acids
(Carbohydrate)
Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
(Lipids)
Fatty Acids, Glycerol
What is Catabolism?
The breakdown of molecules
What is Anabolism?
The synthesis (production) of molecules
What are the 6 “Survival Needs”?
(need to be able to access)
• Nutrients
• Water
• Oxygen
• Appropriate amounts
• Appropriate atmospheric pressure
• Normal body temperature
What happens when your body temperature is too low?
Metabolic reactions are too slow
What happens when your body temperature is too HIGH?
Denaturation (modification) of proteins and DNA
How do you spell the name of the capillary bed in the Renal Corpuscle?
Glomerulus
The Renal Corpuscle and Renal Tubule make up a…?
Nephron
Ammonia and Urea are both…?
Nitrogenous wastes
Explain: Protein -> Ammonia -> Urea
In the stomach, when protein gets digested, it produces ammonia.
The ammonia is absorbed into the blood and carried to the liver.
There, most of the ammonia is converted into urea with ATP.
The urea re-enters the blood and is carried to the kidneys and enters the nephrons.
Who are the 4 Effectors?
Glands, Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle, Smooth muscle
What gets carried by the blood?
O², CO², hormones, clotting factors, chem. precursors, urea, antibodies, carrier proteins, bicarbonate, blood cells, enzymes, heat, and nutrients (amino acids, glucose, fructose, galactose, glycerol, fatty acids)
Word for INTERNAL ORGANS
Viscera
Toward/At the back; behind
Posterior (Dorsal)
Toward/At the midline; on the inner side of
Medial
Away from the midline; on the outer side of
Lateral
Between a more medial and a more lateral structure
Intermediate
Closer to point of origin/attachment
Proximal
Farther from point of origin/attachment
Distal
Toward/At the body surface
Superficial (external)
Away from the body surface; more internal
Deep (internal)
What are the 4 basic types of tissues?
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous
How many types of tissue does an organ have?
At LEAST two
What is the regional term for FOREHEAD?
Frontal
What is the word for no blood cells?
Avascular
