Trimester 1 Review Flashcards
What is anatomy?
the study of structures like tissues
What is physiology?
the study of functions like how the tissues work
What is the relationship between anatomy and physiology?
They depend on each other and focus on the human body, anatomy must be studied before physiology
What is the human body organization from least to most complex?
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
What is the function of the integumentary system?
Synthesizes vitamin D, protects, waterproofs, maintains boundaries, aids in the excretion of urea + uric acid, aid in heat loss or retention
What is the function of the skeletal system?
Protects + supports body organs, framework for motion by muscular action, formation of blood cells, mineral storage
What is the function of the muscular system?
Allows manipulation of environment, locomotion, posture maintenance, heat production
What is the function of the digestive system?
Break down food into absorbable units, excretes indigestible wastes
What is the function of the urinary system?
Elimination/extretion of nitrogenous wastes; regulates water, pH balance and electrolytes
What is the function of the circulatory system?
Deliver oxygen and nutrients to body tissues
What is the function of the respiratory system?
gaseous exchange between the body and environment
What is the function of the nervous system?
Fast action control system that responds to external and internal changes, uses electric signals
What is the function of the lymphatic system?
houses white blood cells, involved in immunity, picks up loose fluid leaking from blood vessels to filter and return to blood
What is the function of the endocrine system?
Glands that secrete hormones that regulate body processes
What is the function of the reproductive system?
Production of offspring
What are two parts of the integumentary system?
Skin + Sweat Glands
What are two parts of the skeletal system?
Bones + Joints
What are two parts of the muscular system?
Skeletal + Cardiac Muscle
What are two parts of the digestive system?
Stomach + Esophagus
What are two parts of the urinary system?
Kidneys + Urinary Bladder
What are two parts of the circulatory system?
Heart + Blood Vessels
What are two parts of the respiratory system?
Pharynx + Bronchi
What are two parts of the nervous system?
Brain + Spinal Cord
What are two parts of the lymphatic system?
Thoracic Duct + Lymph Nodes
What are two parts of the endocrine system?
Pinal Gland + Pituitary Gland
What are two parts of the reproductive system?
Female: Overies +Uterus
Male: Testes + Penis
What are the eight functions needed to maintain life?
Responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, maintaining boundaries, movement, excretion, reproduction, growth
What body system is associated with responsiveness?
Nervous
What body system is associated with digestion?
Digestive
What body system is associated with metabolism?
Endocrine
What body system is associated with maintaining boundaries?
Integumentary
What body system is associated with movement?
Muscular + Skeletal
What body system is associated with excretion?
Digestive, Urinary, Respiratory
What body system is associated with reproduction?
Reproductive + Endocrine
What is homeostasis?
The body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment
How does homeostasis work?
It uses receptors to monitor changes, a control center to determine responses, and effectors to shut off or increase the stimuli
What is negative feedback?
when the body reduces or shuts off the stimulus like breathing
What is positive feedback?
when the body enhances or increases the stimulus like blood clotting
What is disease?
Disruption of homeostasis
Why does the medical industry use medical terminology?
To reduce the amount of memorization and prevent misunderstandings
What is the human anatomical position?
Upright, feet together, eyes, palms, and feet face forward
Nasal
Nose
Axillary
Armpit
Carpel
Wrist
