how many times can the human adult stomach expand
4 times, 2 L
How many feet long is the human digestive tract?
29 FEET
When a structure has proper form, it will have proper functioning.
order of the organization of human body
chemical - cellular - tissue - organ – organ system - organismal
The axial region forms the main vertical axis of the body, and includes
the head, neck, and trunk.
The appendicular regions include the ______that attach to the axis.
limbs or appendages
makes up our body covering and includes our skin and associated
structures such as our hair and nails.
The integumentary system
includes the bones and joints of the body.
The skeletal system
this system contains your muscles.
muscular (The muscular and skeletal systems work together for movement and support.)
includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that run throughout the body.
The nervous system
includes glands that produce and secrete hormones*.
The endocrine system
, these two organ systems function in the integration and coordination
of the body to act as a unit.
endocrine, and nervous
starts at the mouth with a long tube and ends at the anus.
The digestive system
allows you to breathe and includes the nose, air passageways, and lungs.
The respiratory system
system includes blood, blood vessels, and the heart
The cardiovascular
includes the lymphatic vessels*, cells, and structures that can initiate an
immune response.
The lymphatic system
includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
The urinary system
The respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and urinary systems function together in the processing
and transportation of
nutrients, oxygen, and waste products.
provides the means for the sexual maturation and procreation of each
individual.
The reproductive system
__ means near or closer to the origin
proximal vs distal
indicating component of body walls - inc muscles, CT, and other covering tissue
parietal
this lines outer surface of organs (viscera) that are located within cavities
visceral
this is a vert plane that divides body into left and right parts = midline then has____
sagittal, midsagittal plane
plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
The coronal or frontal
is a horizontal plane that divides the body into superior and inferior
parts.
The horizontal or transverse plane
is a plane that passes through the body at an angle.
The oblique plane
is any plane that is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Both sagittal and coronal
planes are examples
A longitudinal plane
_____epithelium: cells that cover the external and internal surfaces
____epithelium: cells that produce and secrete product, such as hormones
covering, glandular
main functions of epithelium
support & protection, permeability, sensation, secretion
tissue is the most widespread and abundant type of tissue in the human body. It ranges in consistency
from the gel-like softness of areolar connective tissue to the hardness of bone.
Connective
main functions of CT
support & protection, structural framework, medium for exchange, storage and repair, defence
cell in CT
fixed ones (fibrobalsts) and wandering (marcophages ) - mesencyhmal cell, adipocyte
fibres of CT
There are three types of fibres secreted by fibroblasts: collagen fibres, reticular fibres, (BRANCHING) and elastic
fibres
types of CT - CT proper, supporting CT, specialized CT - explain the parts in each
CT proper = loose CT, and dense CT, Supporting one = bone and cartilage, Specialized = blood and lymph
