Q

CHEMICALS IN BODY

A

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.

34
FUNCTIONS OF ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Glands that secrete hormones into the blood stream.
35
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.
36
FUNCTIONS OF MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Made of muscles and tendons. Allows control of movement. Maintains posture. Produces heat.
37
FUNCTIONS OF NERVOUS SYSTEM
Made of brain, nerves, spinal cord. Fastest acting control system. Responds to stimuli by activating muscles and glands.
38
FUNCTIONS OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Made of nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and lungs. Keeps blood supplied with oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide.
39
FUNCTIONS OF SKELETAL SYSTEM
Composed of bone, cartilage, and ligaments. Protects and supports body organs. Provides framework for muscles. Site of blood cell formation. Stores minerals.
40
FUNCTIONS OF URINARY SYSTEM
Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Eliminates waste. Regulates water, electrolytes, and pH balance in blood.
41
GROSS ANATOMY
Branch of anatomy that deals with the structure of organs and tissues visible to the naked eye.
42
HEALTH
The state of maintaining well being.
43
HISTOLOGY
The study of the microscopic structure of tissue.
44
HOMEOSTASIS
Equilibrium
45
HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCE
Diseases that result from a homeostatic imbalance include diabetes, dehydration, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, gout, and any disease caused by a toxin present in the bloodstream. As one gets older they're more prone.
46
HYPERTONIC SOLUTIONS
Solutions having greater solute concentration than that of the cytosol.
47
ILLNESS
A disease or period of sickness affecting the body or mind.
48
INFERIOR
Low or lower position
49
IONIC BOND
A chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion.
50

State of being irritable
51
LEVELS OF HEALTH CARE
Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
52
MAKE UP OF CYTOSOL
70-85% water with dissolved salts, sugars, and other solutes. Protein makes up 10-20%. And lipids.
53
MAKE UP OF PLASMA MEMBRANE
Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and carbohydrates.
54
MAKE UP SEROUS MEMBRANES
Made up a thin layer of mesothelium covering connective tissue. Mesothelium is formed from a single layer of flattened cells, while connective tissue consists of many layers of cells.

72
PHARMACIST
A person who is qualified to prepare and dispense medicinal drugs.
73
