Test 1- Lecture 1 Flashcards
Organ system
Related organs coordinate common functions
Growth and Development
Increase in size and specialization (abs and pecks)
Organs
Two or more tissues performing specialized tasks
What are the seven (7) characteristics of a living organism?
- Organization
- Adaptation
- Regulation
- Growth and Development
- Reproduction
- Metabolism
- Responsiveness
5 key points of anatomical position
- Standing upright
- Feel parallel to the ground
- Head level and facing forward
- Arms at side of body
- Palms forward, thumbs pointing toward body
What are the seven (7) levels of organization in order?
Atoms, Molecules, Cells, Tissues, Organs, Organ Systems, Organisms
Regulation
HOMEOSTASIS
Atom
Basic unit of matter
Metabolism 2 types and definition
Chemical reactions
- Catabolic- breaking down
- Anabolic- Building up
Responsiveness
React to internal and external stimuli
Umbrella
RUN MRS. LIDEC
Reproductive, urinary, nervous, muscular, respiratory, skeletal, lymphatic, integumentary, digestive, endocrine, cardiovascular system
What does Macroscopic mean?
Can be seen with unaided eye
Cells
Basic unit of life
Has organelles “specialized structures for specific tasks”
Molecules
2 or more atoms
What does Microscopy mean?
Things that cannot be seen with unaided eye
Define the term Anatomy
The study of structure
Tissues (definition and types)
Group of similar cells performing specialized functions
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscular
- Skeletal
Reproduction
Forming new cells (little merman)
Growth, repair, main reproduction
Adaptation
Altering structure, function, or behavior to increase reproduction (mermaid tail)
Organism
All organ systems working together to maintain homeostasis
Axial
Trunk of body (head, neck, trunk)
Appendicular
Appendages (upper and lower limbs)
Cephalic
Head
Frontal
Forehead
