EXAM 1 Flashcards
Form, locale, and relationship of body parts
Anatomy
How body works to carry out necessary life function
Physiology
Seven Necessary Life Functions
Maintaining boundaries, Movement, Responsiveness, Digestion, metabolism, Excretion, Reproduction
Separation between internal and external environments
Maintaining boundaries
Ability to respond to stimuli
Responsiveness
Muscular system allows movement i.e. skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscle
Movement
Breakdown of ingested food
Digestion
All chemical reactions that occur in the body
Metabolism
Removal of metabolic and digestive wastes i.e. urea, CO2, feces
Excretion
Division of cells, reproduction of offspring
Reproduction and Growth
Why have organ systems?
Organ systems serve cells and supply survival needs
What are the 6 survival needs?
Nutrients, Water, Oxygen, Appropriate amounts, Appropriate atmospheric pressure, Normal body temperature
Integumentary system functions
Protects tissue from injury, desiccation, contains sensory receptors, glands
Integumentary system organs
Skin, hair, nails
Skeletal system functions
Encases and supports organs, provides leverage for skeletal muscles, forms blood cells
Skeletal system organs
Bones, joints, cartilage
Hematopoiesis
Production of blood cells
Muscular system functions
Allows manipulation of environment, locomotion, expression, movement of fluids, posture, heat
Muscular system organs
Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Nervous system functions
Coordinator, responds to internal and external changes via muscles and glands, memory, interpreter, command center
Nervous sytem organs
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
Endocrine system functions
Regulates processes such as growth, reproduction, metabolism via hormones
Endocrine system organs
Ovary, testis, adrenal gland, pancreas, thymus, thyroid, pineal gland, pituitary gland
Cardiovascular system functions
Pumps blood, transports O2, CO2, hormones, clotting factors, chemical precursors, urea, antibodies, carrier proteins, blood cells, enzymes
Cardiovascular system organs
Blood vessels, heart
Lymphatic/Immune system functions
Picks up and returns fluid leaked from blood vessels, houses lymphocytes, disposes of debris, foreign substances, abnormal growths
Lymphatic/Immune system organs
Red bone marrow, thymus, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen
Respiratory system functions
Ventilation, respiration, supply blood with O2 and removal of CO2, pH balance, thermoregulation, speech
Respiratory system organs
Lungs, trachea, larynx, pharynx, diaphragm, nasal/oral cavity
Digestive system functions
Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination
Digestive system organs
Oral cavity, esophagus, liver, stomach, small and large intestine, rectum, anus
Urinary System functions
Elimination of nitrogenous wastes from body, regulates water, electrolyte and acid base balance of blood
Urinary system organs
Kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
Male reproductive system functions
produces sperm and sex hormones, delivers sperm to female reproductive tract
Male reproductive system organs
Prostate, penis, testis, scrotum, ductus deferens
Female reproductive system functions
Produces oocytes and sex hormones, provides site for fertilization, implantation, and fetal development, produces milk
Female reproductive system organs
Uterus, ovary, fallopian tubes, mammary glands
Maintenance or relatively stable internal conditions despite continuously changing environment
Homeostasis
Three components of homeostasis
Receptor, control center, effector
Receptor
Monitors environment and detects stimuli
Control Center
Receives input from receptor, determines set point at which variable is maintained and appropriate response
Effector
Receives output from control center and provides means to respond
Affarent
Toward control center/CNS, sensory
Efferent
From control center/CNS, motor
Negative Feedback
Rate decreases and product increases, reduces or shuts off process
Negative Feedback examples
Blood glucose, blood pressure, blood calcium, thermostat
Positive Feedback
Production increases and product increases
Positive Feedback examples
Blood clotting, labor contractions, pepsinogen

Types of Body cavities
Dorsal and Ventral
Coela
Internal cavities
Thoracic cavity organs:
Heart and lungs
Thoracic cavities:

Parietal serosa
Lines internal body cavity walls, superficial to visceral serosa
Visceral serosa
Covers internal organ, deep to parietal serosa
Cavity most vulnerable to trauma
Abdominal cavity because walls are formed by muscle only
What happens when Serious membranes become inflamed
