25
study of the form and function of the human body and their characteristics and the functional changes happening due to disease and aging
Human Anatomy and Physiology with Pathophysiology
26
simplest level; indivisible
Atoms
27
Basic and smallest unit of all matter
Atoms
28
combination of two or more atoms
Molecules
29
containing atoms of more than one element
Compounds
29
smallest independent units of life
cells
30
31
made up of many similar cells that perform a specific function
Tissues
32
4 basic types of tissues
epithelial, connective, nervous, muscle tissues
33
covers body surfaces, line hollow organs and cavities and forms glands
epithelial tissues
34
connects, supports, protects body organs while distributing blood vessels to other tissues
Connective tissues
35
carries information from one part of the body to another through nerve impulses
Nervous tissues
36
contracts to make body parts move, generate heat
muscle tissues
37
tissues that are joined together; have specific functions and usually have recognizable shapes
Organ level
38
structures that are composed of two or more different types of tissues
Organs
39
consist of related organs with common function
system level
40
11 organ system in the body
* muscular system * nervous system * endocrine system * cardiovascular system * lymphatic system * respiratory system * urinary system * reproductive system * skeletal system * integumentary system * digestive system
41
all the parts of the human body functioning together constitute the total organism
Organism level
42
muscle usually attach to bones
skeletal muscle tissue
43
generates action potentials to regulate body activities
Nerve impulse
44
chemical messengers transported in blood from endocrine gland/tissue to target organ
Hormones
45
46
Hormone-producing glands
Endocrine glands
47
contains sites of maturation and proliferation of B cells and T cells that protect against disease-causing microbes
Lymphatic system and immunity
48
helps regulate production of red blood cellss
Urinary System
49
physical and chemical breakdown of food
Digestive system
50
transfers O from inhaled air to blood and CO2 from blood to exhaled air
Respiratory system
51
heart pumps blood vessels; blood carries O and nutrients to cells and CO2 and wastes away from cells
Cardiovascular system
52
produces heat
Muscular system
52
detect changes in body's internal and external environments
Nervous system
53
gonads in males
testes
54
gonads in females
ovaries
55
produce gametes to form new organism and release hormones regulate production of hormones
Gonads
56
produce milk
mammary gland
57
sum of all the chemical processes occur in body
metabolism
57
breakdown of complex substances into simpler components
catabolism
58
building up of complex chemical substances from smaller, simpler compounds
Anabolism
59
body's ability to detect and respond to changes
responsiveness
60
motion of the whole body, individual organs, single cells, any structure inside cells
movement
61
increase in body size that results from an increase in the size of existing cells
growth
62
development of a cell from an unspecialized to specialized state
differentation
63
formation of new cells for tissue growth
reproduction
64
production of new individual
reproduction
65
homeostasis means
unchanging sameness, staying the same
66
homeo =?, stasis =?
sameness, standing still
67
maintanance of relatively interval environment that is essential to life
Homeostasis
68
condition of equilibrium (balance) in the body's interval environment due to constant interaction of body's many regulatory processes
Homeostasis
69
fluid within cells
ICF (Intracellular Fluid
70
fluid outside body cells
Extracellular fluid (ECF)
71
# ECF fills the narrow spaces between cells of tissues
Interstital fluid
72
# ECF within blood vessels
Blood plasma
73
# ESF` within lymphatic vessels
Lymph fluid
74
# ECF within brain and spinal cord
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
75
# ECF within joints
Synovial fluid
76
# ECF in eyes
Aqueous humor and Vitreous body
77
cycle of events in which status of body condition is monitored, evaluated, channged, re-monitored, reevaluated
Feedback system
78
body structure that monitors changes in controlled condition and sends input to a control center
receptor
79
called affarent pathway
receptor
80
receives input and serves nerve impulses to the effector
Control center
81
body structure that receives output from the control center and produces a response/effect that changes the controlled condition
effectors
82
an effector activated by control center that opposes stimulus
negative feedback
83
rare in the body because they tend to increse the original disturbance (stimulus) and to push the variable farther from its original value | respond by exaggerating stimulus ## Footnote used to deal with stress
Positive feedback
