Lecture 1 A&P intro and chemistry Flashcards
Levels of organization in order (9)
Atoms Molecules Macromolecules organelles cells tissue organ system organism
What are the 4 types of tissue in human body
Epithelial
connective
nervous
muscle
What are the 11 systems in human body
Integumentary ( skeletal muscular lymphatic respiratory digestive nervous endocrine cardiovascular urinary reproductive
What are the 3 components of the integumentary system
skin
hair
glands
What are 5 functions of integumentary system
protection regulates body temp Vitamin D synthesis Eliminates waste sensations
What are 3 components of skeletal system
bones
joint
cartilage
What are 5 functions of skeletal system
support protect movement produces blood cells stores mineral and fats
What is 1 component of muscular system
skeletal muscles
What are 3 functions of muscular system
body movement
posture
produces heat
What are 4 components of nervous system
Brain
nerves
spinal cord
special sense organs
What are 2 functions of nervous system
Action potentials (nerve impulses) Detects, interprets and responds to changes in environment
What is the components of Endocrine system
-Hormone producing glands and cells (ex. hypothalamus, adrenal glands)
What is the function of endocrine system
Regulates bodily functions
What are 3 components of cardiovascular system
blood
heart
blood vessels
What are 3 functions of cardiovascular system
- pumps blood
- carries O2 and nutrients to cells and wastes away
- regulates temp, acid-base balance, and H2O
What are 5 components of lymphatic system
- lymph fluid and vessels
- spleen
- thymus
- lymph nodes
- tonsils
What are 2 functions of lymphatic system
- transport dietary lipids
- protection
What are 5 components of respiratory systems
lungs pharynx larynx trachea bronchial tree
What are 3 functions of respiratory system
- exchange of gases
- acid base balance
- sound production
What are 6 components of the digestive system
- mouth
- pharynx
- esophagus
- stomach and intestine
- salivary gland
- liver, gallbladder, pancreas
What are 3 functions of digestive system
- breakdown of food
- absorption of food
- eliminates waste
What are 4 components of urinary system
Kidneys
ureters
urinary bladder
urethra
What are 3 functions of urinary system
- eliminates waste
- regulates blood composition and volume
- acid-base balance
What are 3 components of reproductive system
- ovaries
- testes
- associated structures
What are 2 functions of reproductive system
- produce gametes
- hormone regulation of reproduction
What are 11 characteristics of life
Movement responsiveness growth reproduction respiration differentiation (unspecialized to specialized) digestion absorption circulation assimilation (change absorbed sub into chem diff one) excretion
Life depends on what 5 environmental factors
- water
- food
- oxygen
- heat
- pressure
Why do we need water from environment
- most abundant substance in our body
- need for metabolic processes
- need to transport substances in body
- need to regulate body temp
Why do we need food from environment
- provides necessary nutrients
- supplies energy
- supplies body with raw materials
Why do we need oxygen from environment
- 1/5 of what makes up air
- need it to release energy from nutrients
why do we need heat from environment
- form of energy
- partly controls rate of metabolic reactions
Why do we need pressure from the environment
- atmospheric pressure (for breathing)
- hydrostatic pressure (keeps blood flowing)
What is homeostasis
maintaining of a stable internal environment
- involves maintaining the vol and composition of bodily fluids and processes
- this physiological normal is dynamic
What are 3 components in homeostatic control mechanisms
- receptors (monitor changes, input to control center)
- control center(evaluates input and generates output)
- effector(receives output, produces response)
What regulates the homeostatic control mechanisms
Nervous system(action potentials, rapid) Endocrine system(hormones, slow)
What are the 2 types of homeostatic control mechanisms
Negative feedback (reduces output) Positive feedback (enhances output)
examples of negative feedback
blood temperature
blood pressure
glucose regulation
examples of positive feedback (only 2)
child birth
blood clotting
What are the 4 body cavities and the structure that separates upper and lower
cranial cavity vertebral cavity thoracic cavity abdominopelvic cavity (abdominal and pelvic cavity) -separated by diaphragm
What are 4 sections / cavities contained in the thoracic cavity
- right pleural cavity (R lung)
- left pleural cavity (L lung)
- pericardial cavity (heart)
- mediastinum (middle of thoracic cavity - usually includes heart)
What is the visceral layer of serous membrane
covers an organ
What is the parietal layer of serous membrane
lines a cavity or body wall
What are the locations of the 3 visceral layers and the 3 perietal layers
- v & p pleura
- v& p pericardium
- v & p peritoneum
What are the 9 regions of the abdomen
R hypochondriac epigastric L hypochondriac R lumbar umbilical L lumbar R iliac hypogastric L iliac
What are the 4 quadrants of the abdomen
R upper quadrant
L upper quadrant
R lower quadrant
L lower quadrant
