Module 1 Flashcards
What are the six levels of organization of the body ?
Chemical,
Cellular
Tissue,
Organ,
Organ system,
Organism
The necessary life function that protects our internal environment from out external environment is provided by what system?
Integumentary
Types of tissues
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
Tissue that covers outside of the body and lines organs and cavities. Specialized in secretion and absorption.
Epithelial Tissue
A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts
connective tissue
A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move.
muscle tissue
A body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body.
nervous tissue
The function of movement is provided by what system?
muscular
The function of responsiveness is provided by what system?
Nervous
The function of digestion is provided by what system?
Digestive
What is anabolism?
making more complex cellular structures from simpler ones
What is catabolism?
the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones, together with the release of energy; destructive metabolism.
Excretion involves what systems?
digestive, respiratory and urinary
The reproductive system is controlled by what other system?
the endocrine system
Which tissue covers the body surface and lines the cavities of the body.
Epithelium
Name the three steps in cellular respiration.
Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, Electron transport system
What is the purpose of ATP?
ATP is a very energy rich molecule the powers the cellular activities allowing cells to have the energy needed to carry out their functions
Epithelial cells perform what types of functions?
The cells that make up epithelial tissue are specialized for tasks such as secretion and absorption. These cells are under constant cell division to replace dead cells that shed away
What are the four basic tissue types?
epithelium, muscle, connective and nervous tissue, each of which is made up of specific cell types that perform specific functions
Toward or at the body surface is known as what direction?
superficial
Away from the body surface is what direction?
Deep
Between a more medial and more lateral structure is what orientation?
intermediate
Toward or at the midline of the body or on the inner side of is what direction?
medial
Away from the head end or toward the lower part of a structure of the body, is what direction?
inferior
