P1 AND P2 Flashcards
Study of how the body and its parts work of function.
Physiology
Forms the external body covering skin and includes hair and fingernails
Integumentary System
Consists of bones, cartilages, ligaments and joints
skeletal system
protects and supports body organs
skeletal system
allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression, maintains posture; procedures heat.
muscular system
includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra
urinary system
Include testes, scrotum, penis for males, and ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus for females.
Reproductive system
Includes the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine.
Digestive System
Includes lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs.
Lymphatic System
it is chemical reaction within body such as breaking down complex molecules into smaller ones and building large molecules from smaller ones.
metabolism
Eliminates waste from metabolic reactions. wastes may be removed in urine, fecet or sweat.
excretion
Chemicals used for energy and cell building include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals.
Nutrients
Close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment to a limb to the body trunk.
Proximal
Farther from the origin of the body part or point of attachment to a limb to the body trunk.
distal
Towards or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of.
medial
Away from the midline of the body; on the outerside of.
Lateral
It divides the body or organ into superior and inferior parts.
transverse
It divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior parts.
Frontal
This section divides the body or organ into left and right parts.
sagittal
THis cavity is superior to the diaphragm. It houses the heart, lungs and other organs.
Thoracic
This cavity is inferior to the diaphragm, it contains the stomach, liver and other organs.
Abdominopelvic
Maintenance of relatively stable internal conditions. Necessary for normal body functioning and sustain life.
homeostasis
Includes most homeostatic control mechanism. Works like a household thermostat.
Negative feedback
This feedback occurs in a faster rate and in blood clotting and during the birth of a baby.
Positive feedback
