Introduction to AnaPhysio (LECTURE) Flashcards
the study of the structure and relationships between body parts
anatomy
the science of how body parts come together to function, and keep that body alive
physiology
maintain stable, internal conditions no matter what changes are occuring outside the body
homeostasis
hierarchy of organization
- atoms
- cells
- tissues
- organs
- organ systems
- organisms
the effect of the extreme and irreversible loss of homeostasis
death
study of easily observable and large structures
gross anatomy
the study of very small structures and can only be viewed with a microscope
microscopic anatomy
organs that can be found in the left upper quadrant
stomach
liver
pancreas
spleen
left kidney
adrenal gland
organs that can be found in the right upper quadrant
most of the liver
gallbladder
portion of the stomach
portion of the SI
right of kidney
adrenal gland
organs found in the right lower quadrant
appendix
reproductive organs
right ureter
portions of LI and SI
organs found in the left lower quadrant
reproductive organs
left ureter
portions of LI and SI
vertical plane dividing body into left and right portions
sagittal plane
plane that divides the body into equal left and right portions
midsagittal plane
plane that divides the body into left and right portions but is offset from the middle
parasagittal plane
plane that divides the body into superior and inferior portions
transverse plane
plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior portions
frontal or coronal plane
what are the essential functions of body cavities
protect organs from shocks and impacts
permit significant changes in size and shape of internal organs
what do the body cavities contain?
viscera (internal organs)
the ventral body cavity is divided by?
the diaphragm
the two cavities that are in the ventral body cavity
thoracic and abdominopelvic
membrane that lines body cavities and covers organs
serous membrane (serosa)
serous membrane that lines cavity
parietal serosa
serous membrane that covers organ
visceral serosa
the membranes that line the internal body wall and covers the organs in the peritoneal cavity
perietal peritoneum
visceral peritoneum
automatic response in a cell, tissue, or organ to an environmental change
autoregulation
responses controlled by nervous and endocrine systems
extrinsic regulation
a homeostatic regulatory mechanism consists of
variable, receptor, control center, and effector
the factor or event being regulated
variable
receives the stimulus
receptor
processes the signal and sends instructions
control center
carries out instructions
effector
the result when a change in condition triggers action that reverses the change
negative feedback mechanism
