SL 1-2 Flashcards
Anatomy
Physical structure + shape and size of the body
Physiology
Study of how living organisms function and work together
Myo
Relating to muscle
Pathy
Suffering or disease
Iso
Meaning equal
Anatomy is the structure that dictates the
Function of physiology
Systemic physiology
Study of how the whole organ systems function
Pathophysiology
Study of disease states and their effect on function
Homeostasis
Bodies regulatory mechanisms to keep systems at balance
Dynamic constancy
A given variable may fluctuate in the body short term, but is usually predictable in the long run
Steady state
State where a variable in a system is not changing because energy must be continuously added to maintain homeostatic condition
Afferent pathway
Information is sent towards the central nervous system
Efferent pathway
Moves away from CNS
Simple diffusion
Lipid soluble solutes will pass through phospholipid bilayer
Water molecules pass the lipid bilayer via
Osmosis through channel proteins/ aquporins
Polar substances pass the lipid bilayer by
Protein carriers
Endocytosis
Engulfing of substance in the ECF and enclosing in a vesicle
Cytosol
Fluid that suspends organelles
Inclusions
Commonly stored nutrient products that float in Cytosol
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Microfilaments
Involved in cell motility and changes cell shape
Intermediate filaments
Resists pulling forces on cell
Microtubules
Determines overall shape and distribution of the organelles
Nucleolus
Assembly of ribosomes
Stratified
Refers to more then one layer of cells
Squamous cells
Flat like
Apical surface
Exposed to the body’s exterior or to the cavity of an internal organ
Basement membrane
Holds epithelium in place that is secreted by both epithelial and connective tissues
Chondrocytes
Cartilage tissue
Cardiac muscle is under —- control
Autonomic
What types of muscle are striated
Skeletal and cardiac
Which muscle types are multinucleated
Skeletal
Synapse
Connection between two neurons
Soma
Cell body of a neuron
Neuroglia cells
Non excitable
Compact bone
Dense and smooth
Spongy bone
Known as trabecular bone and is porous
Diaphysis
Shaft of the bone comprised on mainly compact bone
Epiphyses
Ends of long bones that make up the spongy bone covered by compact bone
Epiphyseal line
Cartilage that will turn to bone at the end of puberty
Articular cartilage
Covers epiphyses and decreases function at joint articulations
Medullary cavity
Central cavity that is found in the diaphysis
Periosteum
Protective tissue that covers diaphysis
Endosteum
Connective tissue that lines the medullary cavity
Red bone marrow
Mostly found in epiphyses of long bones that is responsible for creating RBC
Yellow bone marrow
Found in medullary cavity that stores adipose tissue
Perforating fibers
Extensions of periosteum that anchors to bone
Central Haversian canal
Contains blood vessels and nerve supply
Perforating canal / volkmamns
Provide channels for blood vessels in central canals to connect to periosteum
