Introduction to Systemic Anatomy Flashcards
List all the systems
- Integumentary
- Muscular
- Skeletal
- Nervous
- Endocrine
- Cardiovascular
- Lymphatic
- Respiratory
- Digestive
- Urinary
- Reproductive
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Integumentary System?
- Dermatology
- skin/structures derived from it (hair, nails, sweat, oil glands)
- regulate body temp, protect body, eliminate waste, synthesis of vit D, detect sensations, store fat, insulate
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Skeletal and Articular System?
- Osteology and Arthrology
- All the bones of the body, cartilages, joints
- support and protect softer body parts, gives leverage, produce blood cells, store minerals
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Muscular System?
- Myology
- Skeletal muscle tissue
- allows mvmt, maintain posture, produce heat
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Circulatory System?
- Angiology
- Blood, heart, blood vessels
- Distribute oxygen and nutrients to cells, carry CO2 and wastes from cells, maintain acid-base balance, protects against disease, prevent hemorrhage (blood clot), helps regulate body temp
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Lymphatic System?
- Angiology
- Lymph, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, lymph glands (spleen, thymus gland, tonsils)
- returns proteins to cardiovascular system, filters blood, produces blood cells, protects against disease
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Nervous System?
- Neurology
- Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs (eye, ear)
- regulates body activities thru nerve impulses, detects changes in body’s internal and external environment
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Endocrine System?
- Endocrinology
- All glands that produce hormones
- Regulates body activities thru hormones, chemicals transported by cardiovascular system
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Reproductive System?
- Gynecology and Andrology
- Gonads (testes and ovaries) that produce reproductive cells (sperm and ova), and organs that transport and store reproductive cells
- Reproduces the organism, to replicate part of your DNA
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Respiratory System?
- Pulmonology
- Lungs and a series of passageways leading into and out of them
- Supply oxygen, eliminate CO2, regulate acid-base balance
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Digestive System?
- Gastroenterology
- Long canal and associated organs (mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines), accessory organs (salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas)
What is the specialization, definition, and function of the Urinary System?
- Urology
- Organs that produce, store, and eliminate urine (Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra)
- Regulate the volume and chemical composition of blood, eliminate waste, regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, help maintain acid-base balance and calcium balance
What is homeostasis
Stable internal environment despite fluctuations in external environment (positive and negative feedback)
Alteration = disease
