Module 1 Pt 1 Flashcards
Is the study of the structure and relationship between body parts.
Anatomy
the study of the function of body parts and the body as a whole
Physiology
is the functional changes associated with or resulting from disease or injury
Patho-physiology
Level of Organization of Human Body
Atom
Molecule
Cell
Tissue
Organ
Organ system
Organism
Transports oxygen, nutrients, and other substances to the
cells and transports wastes, carbon dioxide, and other substances away from the cells; it can also help stabilize body temperature and pH
Cardiovascular
Defends against infection and disease and transfers lymph between tissues and the blood stream
Lymphatic
Processes foods and absorbs nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and water
Digestive
Mouth, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, exocrine pancreas, small intestine, and large intestine
Digestive
Lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels
Lymphatic
Heart blood blood vessels
Cardiovascular
Provides communication within the body via hormones and directs long-term change in other organ systems to maintain homeostasis
Endocrine
Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroids, endocrine pancreas, adrenals, testes, and ovaries.
Endocrine
Provides protection from injury and fluid loss and provides
physical defense against infection by microorganisms;
involved in temperature control
Integumentary
Skin, hair, and nails
Integumentary
Provides movement, support, and heat production
Muscular
Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles
Muscular
Collects, transfers, and processes information and directs short-term change in other organ systems
Nervous
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory organs—eyes, ears, tongue, skin, and nose
Nervous
Produces gametes—sex cells—and sex hormones; ultimately produces offspring
Reproductive
Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, ovaries, mammary glands (female), testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis (male)
Reproductive
Delivers air to sites where gas exchange can occur
Respiratory
Mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and diaphragm
Respiratory
Supports and protects soft tissues of the body; provides movement at joints; produces blood cells; and stores minerals
Skeletal
Bones, cartilage, joints, tendons, and ligaments
Skeletal
Removes excess water, salts, and waste products from the blood and body and controls pH
Urinary
Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra
Urinary
Defends against microbial pathogens—disease-causing agents—and other diseases
Immune
Leukocytes, tonsils, adenoids, thymus, and spleen
Immune
Structures that emerge from the time of the fertilized egg through the eighth week in utero.
Embryology
Structures that emerge from the time of the fertilized egg to the adult form.
Developmental biology
Microscopic structure of tissues.
Histology
