Module 1 (Anatomy and Physiology) & Module 2 (Cells and Tissues) Flashcards
This studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.
Anatomy
This studies large body structures or structures that are visible to the naked eye. (Ex. Heart)
Gross Anatomy
Particular region of the body such as abdomen or leg region.
Regional
Complete the following:
Atoms > Molecules > Cells > ____ > Organ
Tissues
This term means not having a nucleus.
Anucleate
This examines body structures system by system (cardiovascular system, muscular system, etc.)
Systemic Anatomy
This system is made up of the body’s outer layer including skin, hair, and nails.
Integumentary System
This system’s main function is to balance the level of fluid in our body by disposing/transferring excess fluids.
Lymphatic System
This serves as the fuel for cellular metabolism.
Water
This is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules.
Anabolism
This is the state wherein your body is either breaking down or losing mass. It can be fat or muscle loss or a combination of both.
Catabolic State
This refers to the ability of the body to maintain stable internal conditions.
Homeostasis
To maintain the acid-base balance of the body, the pH must be between ___ and ____
7.35 – 7.45
An example of this mechanism is when freezing, your body will shiver to produce heat and prevent your temperature from dropping.
Negative Feedback Mechanism
Any factor that can trigger a response is called ____
Stimulus
This is the division of the body from left to right with a specific ratio.
Sagittal Plane
This is a directional term that means opposite side of affectation.
Contralateral
This is a regional term that refers to the front of the neck.
Anterior Cervical Region
Identify which abdominal region is missing:
Epigastric Region, Umbilical Region, Pubic Hypogastric Region, Lateral (Lumbar) Region, Inguinal (Iliac) Region
Hypochondriac Region
This is the region between the cheek and the ear.
Parotid Region
These are compounds that contain carbon and are made by living things.
Organic Compounds
This is the process in which a molecule of water is utilized to split up or break down a substance into smaller molecules.
Hydrolysis
Amino acid is the building blocks of ___
Protein
This is a type of nucleic acid that carries out genetic instructions for protein synthesis.
RNA or Ribonucleic Acid
This is the energy currency of the cell that is formed from the cellular respiration process in the mitochondria.
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate
This is the smallest unit of life.
Cells
A general composite cell has plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ____
Nucleus
The acronym ECF stands for what?
Extracellular Fluid
This is the part of a cell that is a phospholipid bilayer containing protein-carrying molecules plugged in as a fluid mosaic.
Plasma Membrane
This aids in allowing movement of molecules between cells as well as solute movement.
Cell Junctions
This is the part of a phospholipid that prevents water-soluble substances from entering.
Hydrophobic Tail
One of its functions is to provide a hydrophilic pathway across the membrane for selective solute transport.
Membrane Protein
This is the impermeable kind of cell junction which means that it prevents molecules from passing between cells.
Tight Junctions
A ____ ____ ____ does not need energy to move because they are usually flowing through nature.
Passive Membrane Transport
____ is a non-penetrating solution that has a higher concentration outside the cell compared to the inside.
Hypertonic
In order to move toward the concentration gradient and move solutes uphill, this type of transport must have energy.
Active Transport
This is the energy source of a primary active transport.
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate
Membrane potential, which is the electrical potential energy from the separation of oppositely charged particles, may also be termed as what?
Voltage
The acronym CAMs stands for what?
Cell Adhesion Molecules
This is a type of chemical signaling wherein a cell targets itself.
Autocrine
This is the elaborate network of rods running through the cytosol that aids in terms of cell structure.
Cytoskeleton
This is the group of cells that have similar structure and exhibit a common function.
Tissues
If epithelial tissue is to cover, then muscle tissue is to?
To move
This is a classification of an epithelial tissue that contains 2 or more layers.
Stratified
A ___ tissue’s primary function is to connect body parts.
Connective Tissue
This is the only kind of muscle tissue that can be controlled voluntarily and consciously.
Skeletal Muscle
This kind of muscle tissue facilitates the propelling of substances or objects along internal passageways.
Smooth Muscle
This tissue is composed of neurons and supporting cells that help transmit nerve impulses and signals.
Nervous Tissue
A membrane is composed of at least 2 primary tissue– connective tissue and ___ ___
Epithelial Tissue
A ___ membrane covers the body surface.
Cutaneous
