UNIT 1 Flashcards
Science of body structure and the relationship among them
ANATOMY
The science of body function and the body works
Physiology
atoms( the smallest unit) and molecules (2 or more atoms
combined together
Chemical Structural Organization
- Chemical organization
- Cellular level
- Tissue level
- Organ level
- System
Organization Level
Cells are the smallest living things-Molecules combines make up cells
Cellular Level
Groups of cells and the material around them that work together to
perform a specific function
Tissue Level
Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Muscular tissue,
and nervous tissue
Basic types of cells?
connect, supports and protects body organs
while distributing blood vessels to other tissue
Connective tissue
cover body surfaces, lines hollow organs, and
forms gland
Epithelial tissue
make body parts move and generates heat
Muscular tissue
carry info from one part of the body to another
through nerve impulse
Nervous tissue
outer layer is covered in Epithelial
tissues, and connective tissue to reduce friction when the stomach
moves and rubs against other organs
Stomach
are structures that are composed of 2 or more different
types of tissues
Organs
Are related organs with a common function
System
-Endocrine
-Lymphatic
-Cardiovascular system
- Respiratory system
digestive
reproductive
urinary
11 body systems
Is the sum of all chemical process that happens in the body
Metabolism
Body’s ability to detect and respond to changes
Responsiveness
Motion of the whole body including organs, single cells and even
tiny structures inside the cell
Movement
Is the increase in body size that results from an increase in size of
existing cells, increase in number of cells or both.
Growth
Is the development of a cell from an unspecialized to a specialized
state.
Differentiation
Postmortem exam of the body and dissection of internal organs to
confirm or determine cause of death
Autopsy
