Tissues, Organs, Organ Systems Flashcards
What are the 4 types of Tissues
Epithelial Tissue
Connective Tissue
Muscle Tissue
Nerve Tissue
Epithelial Tissue
Covering tissue that protects the outer body, internal organs, and inside lining of the body
ex.digestive/respiratory tract
Connective Tissue
Supporting tissue that holds body parts together
includes, tendons, cartilage, bone, ligaments
Muscle Tissue
A tissue of cells that are able to shorten (contract) and allows for movement. Includes skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle (heart) and smooth muscle.
Nerve Tissue
A tissue that allows for communication within the body and awareness of the external environment. Includes nerves of the brain and spinal cord.
Digestive System
nutrient intake
Circulatory system
Transport
Lymphatic system
cleaning and filtering
respiratory system
gas exchange
urinary system
liquid waste removal
nervous system
transmitting information
endocrine system
chemical relay
reproductive system
produce offspring
integumentary system
body covering
muscular system
movement
skeletal system
support and form
2 difficulties in classifying organ systems
- Body systems interact
2. Some are classified anatomically and not my function
X-Ray
high energy electromagnetic waves that allow for photographing high-density parts of the interior of the body
CAT Scan
Use of x-rays and computers to develop a 3D image of the interior of the body
Nuclear Imaging
producing images when radioactive particles are introduced to the body
Nuclear magnetic radiance
use of magnetic forces and radio waves to map and determine functions
Cranial Cavity
surrounded by the skull (head)
Thoracic Cavity
Chest Cavity
Abdominal Cavity
Below the diaphragm down to the pelvis (stomach)
Pelvic Cavity
below the abdominal cavity (bladder/ovaries)
Midsagittal plane
divides organism into a left and right
transverse plane
divides organism into front and behind
Frontal plane
divides an organism into a front and backside
Proximal and Distal
Close to point of attachment and away
Medial and lateral
Close to the midline of the body and away
