MISSED QUESTIONS Flashcards
What makes up the skeletal system?
Bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints
Name the three purposes of the integumentary system.
Protect internal tissues from injury, waterproof the body, help regulate body temperature
What does the ventral body cavity contain?
All structures within the chest and abdomen
List eight ways organ systems interact.
Maintain boundaries, respond to environmental changes, moving, ingesting and digesting, reproducing, growing, excreting, metabolizing
What regulates the body’s metabolism?
Hormones released by glands in the endocrine system
Once blood leaves the lungs and is oxygenated where does it travel?
It travels back to the heart by the pulmonary veins, into the left atrium, through the mitral valve, into the left ventricle, through the aortic valve, then into the aorta, then throughout the body
What makes up the peripheral nervous system?
Cranial and spinal nerves that extend beyond the central nervous system
What part of the nervous system controls voluntary actions like walking and talking?
The sensory – somatic system
What is a neuron?
Specialized cells that make up the nervous system that transmits messages.
What are the three main functions of the nervous system?
Provide sensory, motor and integrative functions within the body.
What can you do because of the sensory function of the nervous system?
Feel pain, heat and other stimuli
What purpose is the motor function of the nervous system?
The motor function of the nervous system serves to carry electrical impulses from the central nervous system to the effectors which are most commonly the glands and muscles
What two hormones are released by the duodenum?
Secretin and cholecystokinin
What travels to the pancreas to trigger the release of bicarbonate and pancreatic enzymes?
Secretin
What is the purpose of cholycystokinin?
Trigger gall bladder to release bile and reduce motility and acid production in the stomach.
Where does absorption of nutrients occur and through what vehicle?
In the small intestine through villi.
What is the second line of non-specific/inate defenses?
Fever, inflammation, phagocytosis, natural killer cells, interferons, chemotaxis, and release of cytokines
What is inflammation?
A response to irritating chemicals, heat, trauma, or infection by pathogens
What is diapedesis?
The process of white blood cells squeezing through capillary slits. in response to cytokines
What system regulates the release of calcium?
The endocrine system.
Anatomy is the study of what?
Structure
Physiology is the study of what?
Function

How many organ systems are there in the body?
11
Name four basic tissue types.
Epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
What are two functions of epithelial tissue?
Covering and producing secretions
Describe epithelial tissue.
It exist in sheets; doesn’t have own blood supply
How does epithelium tissue receive food and oxygen?
By diffusion from nearby capillaries.
What is the criteria for classifying epithelial tissue?
Number of cell layers and the cell shape
How many layers of cells does simple epithelium tissue have?
One
Where is simple epithelium tissue found in the body generally?
In body structures where absorption, secretion and filtration occur.
What is the purpose of stratified epithelium?
Protection
Name three shapes of epithelial cells.
Squamous, columnar, cuboidal
What is connective tissue’s purpose?
To connect different structures of the body
Does connective tissue commonly have its own blood supply?
Yes
List the 11 organ systems.

What type of connective tissue is the exception to having its own blood supply?
Ligaments
Name four examples of connective tissue.
Bones, cartilage, adipose, blood vessels
What is the purpose of muscle tissue?
To produce movement
Name the three types of muscle tissue.
Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
What does skeletal muscle tissue support, voluntary or involuntary movement?
Voluntary movement
Are voluntary movements consciously or unconsciously controlled?
Consciously
