Exam 1 Flashcards
Anatomy
Cutting up, study of human structure
Microscopic anatomy
Study of things you can’t see w naked eye
Cytology
Histology
Cytology
Study of cells
Histology
Study of tissues
Gross anatomy
Study of larger structures
Surface or morphology
Shape or surface of human body
Surgery
Regional
Particular region in the body
Ex: arm(skin,muscle,bone, nerves)
Systemic
Studying by system
Easier
Developmental
How anatomy develops from a single cell to a full blown human
Embryology
Comparative
We dissect cats, pig hearts, sheep brains, cow eyes
Clinical or pathogenic anatomy
What happens when you get TB, or damage to alveoli in lungs
Cross sectional anatomy
Taking slices of human body from head down to toes and studying it
Atoms
Basic building blocks of all matter
Molecular
Start linking atoms together
Macro molecular
Life, DNA, proteins, fats
Starch Carbs large molecules
Cellular
Minimal requirement to be alive
Tissues
Group of cells linked together
Organ
More than one tissue type
Organ system
More than one organ and they all work together to perform one function
Levels of organization
Atoms Molecules Cells Tissue Organ Organ system Organism
Major elements of the body
Hydrogen 62%
O2 26%
Carbon 10%
Nitrogen 1.5%
Major molecules of the body
Water 67%
Proteins 20%
Lipids 10%
Carbohydrates 3%

Cranial or cephalic
Brain cavity
Caudal
Tail
Proximal
Close
Distal
Distant
Medial
Midline
Lateral
Further to the side
Superficial
Closer to the surface
Deep
Away from surface, more deep
Sections
Frontal or coronal
Coronal:head
Cut in half from front and back
Sections
Transverse
Cut top from bottom
Sections
Sagittal
Cut right and left half
Midsagittal
Equal R and L half
Parasagittal
Unequal R and L half
Dorsal cavity
Cranial
Spinal
Ventral cavity
Decided by diaphragm
Thoracic
- pleural:lungs
- pericardial: membrane that surrounds heart
- mediastinum:respiratory organs
Abdominopelvic cavity
Begins at iliac crest
Abdominal
Pelvic
The cell theory
Cells are the building blocks of all living things
Cells reproduce to make more cells
Cells are the smallest level of living matter
Phospholipid bilayer
Selectively permeable
Phosphates:give water active ability, charged, aqueous
Lipids:fatty acid tail, don’t mix well with water
Proteins
Peripheral
Not embedded in membrane
Proteins
Integral
Embedded in membrane
Transmembrane
Glycocalyx
Covers surface of cell, sugar coat, cell cell recognition and identification
Cholesterol
Foundational molecule for progesterone and estrogen, adds stability and resistance to cell for changes in the environment
Extensions:microvilli
Add surface area
Functions of plasmalemma
Physical isolation
Creates a barrier/border
Tells you what’s inside and outside of cell
Functions of plasmalemma
Sensitivity
Identification and communication
Functions of plasmalemma
Structural support
Intracellular and extra cellular
Peripheral and integral proteins
Attaches to fibers in tissues
Plasmalemma function
Regulation of material exchange or transport-selectively permeable
Water and simple gases can pass
Bigger molecules and highly charged molecules cannot
Passive exchange
Movement across plasmalemma that doesn’t require energy
Passive exchange
Diffusion
High to low concentration
Kinetic energy drives diffusion
Facilitated diffusion
Has a certain protein that allows diffusion to occur
Osmosis
Water passing through membrane
Active exchange or active transport
Requires energy
ATP
low to high concentration
