Exam 2 (Chap 1,3,4,6,18) Flashcards
Anatomy and physiology
Study of the structure and body functions
Define disease
Anything that is alters normal body structure and working of the body
Levels of organization
Chemicals
Cell- basic unit of life
Tissues- specialized group of cells
Organs- function of tissues working together
Body systems- organs working together for the general same purpose.
Organism
Integumentary, skeletal, muscular
Protect, support, movement
Integumentary system
Skin as well as the associated structures which is hair, nail, sweat glands and oil glands.
Skeletal system
Body’s basic frame work, it includes 206 bones and joints between them.
Muscular system
Attached to bones and produced the movement of skeletal. Help maintain posture, body’s structure and protection.
Coordination and control
Nervous system and Endocrine
Nervous system
The brain and spinal cord, nerve as well as eyes, ears, , taste buds and smell. (special sensing organ)
Digestive system
all the organs that take nutrients and convert them so body cells can use them
Urinary system
Help the body get rid of the waste products and excess water.
Circulation and immunity systems
Cardiovascular system and lymphatic system
Cardiovascular system
Heart and blood vessels are what make up this system. Pumping blood to the tissues including the nutrients and oxygen
Lymphatic system
Helps in absorption of dietary fats.
Production of offspring
Reproductive system
Reproductive system
External sex organs and all related internal structures.
Catabolism
metabolic breakdown substances into simpler substances
Anabolism
metabolic building of simple compounds into more complex.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Energy storing compounds found in all cells.
Homeostasis
state of balance within the body.
Extracellular fluid
outside the cell
Intracellular fluid
within the cell
Negative feedback
Control system based on information that is returning to a source.
Effects of aging
wrinkles, failing liver, weaker immune system
Anatomic position
person or subject is standing upright face in front, arms on the side, palms for feet parallel.
Superior
above or higher position
Inferiod
below or lower
Anterior
Front of the body
posterior
near to the back
medial
nearest to the middle of the body
leteral
farther away from the midline to the side
proximal
near to the origin of a structure
distal
farther away from the point
Frontal plane
Coronal plane divides frontal and posterior
Sagittal plane
right and left (midsagittal plane)
Transverse plane
superior and inferior
Cross tissue section
made perpendicular to the lung, access of an organ.
Longitudinal tissue section
parallel to the lung axis
Oblique tissue section
made at an angle
Dorsal Cavity
Cranial cavity (brain), Spinal canal (canal that has the spinal cord)
Ventral Cavity
Thoracic cavity
Abdonimopelvic cavity
Thoracic cavity consist of
Pericardial cavity, pleural cavity, mediastinum, Diaphragm.
Abdominopelvic cavity
Abdominal cavity, pelvic
Pericardial cavity
heart that is formed by the pericardial sac
Pleural cavity
Where lungs are
Mediastinum
Space between the lungs including the organs and vessels.
Diaphragm
Muscle that is used for breathing
Abdominal cavity
contains the stomach and most of the intestines, the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and the spleen.
