Tissues, Anatomy Language, and Homeostasis (L1) Flashcards

1
Q

Def. Anatomy (and Gross vs Microscopic)

A

The study of the structure and shape of the body
- Gross: studying large structures (heart, bones)
- Microscopic: study cells and tissues that can only be viewed under a microscope

Q

Name the 4 types of tissue and their overall function

A

Connective - connect body parts
Epithelial - forms linings, coverings, and glands of the body
Muscle - contract and shorten to generate force to produce body movement
Nervous - receive and conduct electrochemical signals throughout the body

Q

Epithelial Tissue

A
  • Covers internal and external body surfaces, forms boundaries
  • Function: protection, absorption, secretion, filtration
  • 2 surfaces: apical and basal
  • Distinguished by # of cell layers and shape of cells
  • Ex: skin, stomach lining

Q

Proximal vs. Distal

A

Proximal - towards the hip/shoulder of the body
Distal - away from the hip/shoulder of the body

Ex: thigh is proximal to the foot, the hand is distal to the wrist

Q

Medial vs. Lateral

A

Medial - towards the midline
Lateral - away from the midline
(midline is a vertical line from head to toe)

Ex: Arms are lateral to the torso, the torso is medial to the arms

32
Q

Describe the Body Planes and Sections

A

Median (midsagittal) - plane front to back (symmetry on either side)
Frontal (coronal) - plane from side to side (good for seeing all the main organs)
Transverse - horizontal plane

33
Q

Name the Body Cavities (4/5 of them)

A

Dorsal body cavities: cranial cavity and spinal cavity
Ventral body cavities: thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cavity (abdominal and pelvic cavity)

34
Q

What are the 4 things organs systems must maintain/regulate?

A

Blood pressure, body temperature, nutrient and oxygen levels, and waste removal

35
Q

How do we maintain homeostasis? (3 main components)

A
  • Receptor: monitors and responds to the external environment
  • Control Center: receives afferent signals and determines appropriate response
  • Effector: carries out response (muscles and glands)

(stimulus, receptor, input, output, response)

36
Q

Negative Feedback

A

Results of effector response decrease the amount of response or turn it off

37
Q

Positive Feedback

A

Results of effector response increase the amount or rate of response
