Q

METABOLISM

A

-the whole sum of reactions that occur throughout the body within each cell and that provide the body with energy
-this energy gets used for vital processes and the synthesis of new organic material.

Q

CATABOLIC

A

-catabolic reactions break down larger molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins from ingested food, into their constituent smaller parts
-include the breakdown of ATP, which releases the energy needed for metabolic processes in all cells throughout the body

Q

ANABOLIC

A

-anabolism is the process by which the body utilizes the energy released by catabolism to synthesize complex molecules
-these complex molecules are then utilized to form cellular structures that are formed from small and simple precursors that act as building blocks

21
Q

INTERMEDIATE

A

between medial and lateral, must be comparing three things to use this term

22
Q

PROXIMAL

A

nearest to the origin of a limb

23
Q

DISTAL

A

farther form the origin of a limb

24
Q

SUPERFICIAL

A

closer to outside, external to another structure

25
DEEP
closer to inside, internal to another structure
26
BODY PLANES
a slice or imaginary flat surface passing through the body to expose the internal anatomy
27
MIDSAGITTAL
means equal, vertical plane that divides the body into equal left and right halves
28
SAGITTAL (OR PARASAGITTAL)
divides the structure into left and right at any number of sites, parallel to mid-sagittal
29
TRANSVERSE (CROSS-SECTIONAL)
horizontal plane dividing the body into superior and inferior
30
CORONAL (FRONTAL)
vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
31
OBLIQUE
pass through structures at an angle, can be anywhere on the body
32
POSTERIOR (DORSAL) CAVITY
-CRAINIAL CAVITY: formed by cranial bones, contains brain -VERTEBRAL CANAL: formed by vertebral column, contains spinal cord and the beginnings of spinal nerves
33
VENTRAL CAVITY
Includes: -thoracic cavity -abdominopelvic
34
THORACIC CAVITY
-MEDIASTINUM: central portion of thoracic cavity between the lungs, extends from the sternum to vertebral column and from the first rib to diaphragm, contains heart, thymus, esophagus, trachea, and several large blood vessels -PERICARDIAL: surrounds the heart, the serous membrane of the pericardial cavity is the pericardium -PLEURAL: each surrounds the lung, the serous membrane of each pleural cavity is the pleura
35
ABDOMINOPELVIC
-ABDOMINAL: contains stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and most of the large intestine, the serous membrane of the abdominal cavity is the peritoneum -PELVIC: contains urinary bladder, portions of the large intestine, and internal organs of reproduction

38
CYTOPLASM CONATINS
-cellular contents between the plasma membrane and nucleus -made up of a gelatin-like fluid, organelles and structural fibers
39
CYTOSOL
fluid (mostly water), organelles embedded in the cytosol
40
CYTOSKELETON
-framework of proteins beneath the plasma membrane -supports and organizes the cell -Microfilaments: smallest, internal structure of plasma membrane, movement of organelles, vesicles and molecules -Intermediate Filament: intermediate size, rigid rods to support and stabilize the cell -Microtubule: largest, “railway tracks” for movement of the organelles and vesicles
41
CILIA
-short, hair- like projections form the cell surface -move fluids along the cell surface -found in large numbers
42
FLAGELLA
-longer projections -move entire cell -usually only one present
43
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
-connected to nuclear envelope -Rough ER: have some ribosomes, synthesize proteins -Smooth ER: no ribosomes, synthesize fatty acids
44
RIBOSOMES
-site of protein synthesis
45
GOLGI COMPLEX/APPARATUS
-composed of elongated, flattened membranous sacs -packs proteins for transport -not attached to the nuclear envelope
46
LYSOSOMES
-contains digestive enzymes -breaks things up
47
PEROXISOMES
-detoxify toxic substances -abundant
48
MITOCHONDRIA
-“Powerhouse” of the cell -generates ATP
49
NUCLEUS
-largest structure within the cell -contains genetic information in the form of DNA -DNA in molecules called chromosomes -consist of a single DNA molecule and proteins
