general intro

Question 1

5 functions of living things

Answer 1

responsiveness
growth
reproduction
movement 
metabolism

Question 2

gross anatomy

Answer 2

(macroscopic anatomy) features visible with naked eye - surface, regional, systemic

Question 3

microscopic anatomy

Answer 3

visible with magnification

Question 4

cytology

Answer 4

study of internal structure of cells

Question 5

histology

Answer 5

study of tissues of various organs

Question 6

anatomy

Answer 6

internal/external structures and their physical relationships

Question 7

physiology

Answer 7

how each structure works individually and as a whole

Question 8

cell physiology

Answer 8

study of function of living cells

Question 9

special physiology

Answer 9

study of physiology of specific organs

Question 10

systemic physiology

Answer 10

study of specific organ system

Question 11

pathology

Answer 11

study of causes of diseases and effects on organs or organ systems

Question 12

homeostasis

Answer 12

stable internal environment

Question 13

homeostasis regulation

Answer 13

body constantly makes adjustments to maintain this

Question 14

receptor

Answer 14

sensitive to certain stimulus

Question 15

control center

Answer 15

intercepts the info from the receptor

Question 16

effector

Answer 16

responds and opposes or reinforces the stimulus

Question 17

negative feedback

Answer 17

a stimulus produces a response that opposes the original stimulus

Question 18

positive feedback

Answer 18

initial stimulus produces response which reinforces stimulus
accelerates proves that must proceed rapidly - ex: childbirth, blood clotting

Question 19

x rays (roentgenogram)

Answer 19

radio-opaque (white) areas are dense tissue like bone and tendons. radio-translucent areas (dark) are soft or air or fluid filled spaces
best used on dense or hard structures

Question 20

CT scan

Answer 20

(computer axial tomography) 1 x ray source rotates around body and is picked up by computer sensor
shows soft tissues in transverse sections

Question 21

MRI

Answer 21

(magnetic resonance imaging) very strong magestic field (3000 times of earth) aligns the particles of your atoms - radio waves are then shot at you and different tissues absorb different amounts which creates a picture
LOTS of soft tissue detail

Question 22

PET

Answer 22

(positron emission tomography) patient is injection with radioisotope tagged glucose - scan localized glucose as it is used by body - bright spots indicate high metabolic activity

Question 23

ultrasound

Answer 23

transmitter blasts narrow burrs of high frequency sound which bounces off organs and creates an echo gram
