Exam 1 Flashcards
Anatomy
The structure of the body parts and their relationship to one another
Physiology
How the body parts work (function) and the activities they carry out.
Homeostasis
The stable equilibrium of the body
Positive Feedback
The output enhances the original stimulus so that the response is accelerated BEFORE returning to their equalized state
Ex: Mother Breastfeeding
Stimulus - Baby suckling (Sent to Hypothalumus)
Hypothalymus signals the posterior pituary to release oxytocin
Effector: Breast is stimulated to eject breast milk.
Negative Feedback
The output shuts off the original effect of the stimulus or reduces its intensity
Ex: Body Thermal Regulation
Stimulus: Exercise raises body temp above normal
Sensory Receptors in skin detects heat
Hypothalymus of the brain compares sensory input to the normal body temp
Effectors: Blood vessels in skin dialate, sweat glands sweat (when evaporated - cools skin surface)
Body temp returns to normal

Transverse
Divides the body horizontally into superior and inferior
Coronal (Frontal)
Divides the body into anterior and posterior
Sagital (Midsagital)
Divides the body down the midline
Sagital (Parasagital)
Divided down lateral to the midline into right and left parts
Superior
Towards the head
Ex: The heart is superior to the abdomen (The heart is higher up in the body than the abdomen)
Inferior
Away from the head
Ex: The navel is inferior to the chin (the navel is lower than the chin)
Anterior
Towards the front of the body
The Breastbone is anterior to the spine (the breastbone is in front of the spine)
Posterior
Towards the back of the body
The heart is posterior to the breastbone (the heart is behind the breastbone)
Medial
Towards or at the midline of the body
The heart is medial to the arms (The heart is towards the middle of the body from where the arms extend)
Lateral
Away from the midline of the body
The arms are LATERAL to the chest (The arms are parallel to where the chest is, but towards the outside of the body)
Intermediate
Between a more medial and more lateral structure
The collarbone is intermediate between the breastbone and shoulder
Proximal
Closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
The elbow is proximal to the wrist (The elbow is closer to the shoulder joint than the wrist)
Distal
Farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
The knee is distal to the thigh (The knee is farther from the hip joint than the thigh is)
Superficial (external)
Toward or at the body surface
The skin is superficial to the skeletal muscles (the skin is closer to the surface than the muscles are)
Deep (Internal)
Away from the body surface
The lungs are deep to the skin (the lungs are farther away from the surface than the skin)
Ipsilateral
Same side of the body
Right Leg and Right Arm
Contralateral
On the opposite side of the body
The Right Arm and Left Leg

Plasma Membrane
An active barrier separates intracellular and extracellular fluid.
Consists of a phospholipid bilayer as well as glycolipids and cholesterol
Glycocalyx
Sugars on the surface of a cell
The glycoproteins and glycolipids on the surface of the cell give the cell an identity
Passive Membrane Transport
No energy is required to move substances across cell membranes
The types of Passive Membrane Transport
Diffusion
- Simple Diffusion
- Facilitated Diffusion
- Osmosis
Diffusion
Molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration within the body
Simple Diffusion
Nonpolar and lipid soluble moleculesdiffuse directly
Facilitated Difusion
Molecules pass with carriers or through channels
Osmosis
The diffusion of water from an area of high to low concentration
Water ALWAYS Wants to Dilute
Tonicity
The ability of a solution to change the shape of cells by altering their internal water volume.
Isotonic
The same concentration inside and outside of the cell
Hypotonic
Contains a LOWER concentration of nonpenetrating solutes than are present inside of the cell
Swells
Hypertonic
Contains a HIGHER concentration of nonpenetrating solutes than are present inside of the cell
Shrinks/Shrivels
Active Transport
Moves solutes AGAINST their concentration gradient (from low to high)
