Unit One Flashcards
Adipose Tissue
Used for the storage of fat.
ANAPHASE
When the chromosomes move away from each other to opposite poles during meiosis or mitosis.
ANTERIOR
Nearer to the front
ATOM
The basic unit of a chemical element.
ATP
Energy present in all living tissue.
BLOOD PH
7.35-7.45
CELLS
Smallest structural and functional unit of life.
CHARGED PARTICLE
A particle that is either positive or negative.
CHEMICAL ENERGY
That part of the energy in a substance that can be released by a chemical reaction.
CHEMICALS IN BODY
Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All are necessary to life. The remaining elements are trace elements.
CILIA
Hair like extensions of cells that aid in some movement and move substances in one direction across the cell surface.
COLLAGE
A combination or collection of various things.
COMPONENTS OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Connective tissue are composed of (1) extracellular fibres, (2) an amorphous matrix called ground substance, and (3) stationary and migrating cells.
COMPOUNDS
2 or more elements chemically united.
CONCEPTS OF CELL THEORY
- All life is composed of cells. 2. Cells are the smallest living unit. 3. Cells come from preexisting cells.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The requirement of keeping something secret.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissue or organs.
DEVELOPMENTAL ANATOMY
The branch of anatomy that studies structural changes of an individual from fertilization to maturity.
DIFFUSION
The flow of particles across a cell membrane from more concentrated to less.
DISTAL
Away from the center of the body.
DNA
Deoxyribose nucleic acid
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Result from the movement of charged particles.
ELECTRONS
Negative particles around an atom.
ELEMENT
Specific atom
ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM
The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Catalyzes reactions in various organs.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Membranous tissue covering internal organs and other internal surfaces of the body.
FACTORS INFLUENCING CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Temp, concentration, irritation, enzymes.
FILTRATION
Works on a pressure passage from high to low.
FLAGELLA
A whiplike extension of a cell used for movement.
FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE
Digestion, excretion, growth, maintenance of boundaries, metabolism, movement, responsiveness, and reproduction.
FUNCTIONS OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Made of heart, blood vessels, and blood. Heart pumps blood. Blood vessels transport blood throughout the body.
FUNCTIONS OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Oral cavity, stomach, esophagus, small and large intestines, rectum, anus, and liver. Digestion, break down, absorb, expel. Eliminates indigestible food stuffs as feces.
FUNCTIONS OF ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Glands that secrete hormones into the blood stream.
FUNCTIONS OF INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Forms the external body covering. Composed of the skin, sweat glands, oil glands, hair, and nails. Protective and synthesizes vitamin D. Chief sensory organ.
FUNCTIONS OF MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Made of muscles and tendons. Allows control of movement. Maintains posture. Produces heat.
