Introduction to human body Flashcards
6 levels of structural organization of human body
- Molecular ex protein and h2o
- Cellular- smallest unit that has characteristics of life.
- Tissue- cells combining for a common function
- Organ- Tissues combining for a common function
- System
- Organism- human being
osteocytes
mature bone cell
osteoclasts
destroying old bone cells
osteoblast
forming new bone cells
2 methods of ossification
- intramembrane- direct, osteoblast make bone
2. endochondral (epiphyseal plate) indirect makes cartilage then turns to bone
Classification of bone
- Long
- Short
- Flat
- Irregular
5 Sesamoid
Bones increase in diameter by
bone remolding from osteoclats and osteoblast
fibrocartilage
strongest type, intervertebral disc, symphysis pubis holding pubic bone together
Describe Tonicity
solute difference inside and outside of a cell
what would happen if a RBC was in isotonic
no net movement of water
what would happen if RBC was in hypertonic
water would move out of cell and shrivel
what would happen if RBC was in hypotonic
water would enter cell and swell and burst
homeostasis
in balance
a) sensors=receptors (blood glucose)
b) control centers (brain)
c) effectors (responders)
d) negative and positive feedback loops
negative feedback loop
have opposite affect, horemone gland will produce more when there is a lack in body
positive feedback loop
more associated with disease, childbirth- due to horemore reaction
clotting is another example
cytology
the study of cells
anatomy
the study of body parts
histology
the study of tissue
Physiology
the study of function
Gross anatomy
with out microscope
endocytosis
a cell engulfing a substance
milliosmole
unit to measure solute concentrations
osmotic pressure
pressure necessary to oppose osmosis
solution
mixture of solute and solvent
solvent
substancw doing the disolving
solute
dissolves into a solution
osmosis
water diffusion across cell membrane
diffusion
movement from high to low concentration
selectively permeable
some substances can cross the cell membrane some cannot
cell plasma membrane
it has a phosphlipid bilayer with protein channels scatterd throughout it
Na+/k+ pump
classic example of active transport
facilited diffusion
passive transport, diffusion but limited to special sites of the membrante (protein channels)
active transport train
movement of a substance from low to high concentration requires ATP
filtration
passive process where a substance passes through the filter based on sizw
excocytosis
a cell discharges a substance from cell
phagocytosis
a type of endocytosis that is cell eating
features of the osteon
cylinders that run through the bone to give strength
membrane (epithelium and connective tissue combine)
1) considered tissue not an organ
2) mucous membrane- lines cavities to provide moisture
3) serous membrane- permeable membrane around lungs and abdominal cavities to avoid friction
4) cutaneous membrane- skin
5) synovial membrane- joints and cavities lubrication bone friction
how many bones are in the human skeleton
206
Axail skeleton
cranium, spine 80 bones
Appendicular
arms and legs and joints- 126
Major body cavities
Dorsal (posterior) brain and spine
Ventral (anterior) thoracic, abdominal, pelvic
Dorsal Cavity
Cranial- containing brain
Spinal- containing spinal cord
Ventral Cavity
Thoratic- chest, heart, lungs, diaphragm dividing
Abdominal- liver, stomach diaphragm superior boundary
Pelvic- urinary, reproductive surrounded by pelvis
4 major types of body tissue
1) Epithelial- avascular, very cellular, skin, digestive lining, respiratory.
2) Muscle- Capable of contraction, skeletal, cardiac, smooth
3) nervous- Brain and nerves
4) Connective- most abondant, framework, fat tendion, bone, cartilage, blood
basic characteristics of Cartilage (Chondr)
provides support but is not rigid chondrocytes are seperated under scope in the matrix jelly like collegen fibers add strenght elastic fibers add duribility
Hyaline cartilage
smooth, glossy
most common, joints, nose, throat trechea ribs embry
Elastic Cartilage
ear
epiglottis, penna, estachian tube
Fibrocartilage
Strongest vertabre and pelvis anchor
7 typical parts of long bone
- Diaphysis- shaft
2, epiphysis- ends of bone covered in cartalige - metaphysis- neck
- articular cartilage (at ends of bone)
- Periosteum- rich in osteoblast
- Marrow- medullary cavity
- endosteum- lining marrow, rich in osteoclast
