WEEK 1 Flashcards
A field in the biological sciences concerned with the
identification and description of the body structures of
living things.
Anatomy
A field in the biological sciences concerned with the functions of the structures (cells, tissues, and, organs).
Physiology
God is with you
Branch of anatomy: The study of surface markings of the body to understand internal anatomy through visualization and palpation.
Surface Anatomy
Branch of anatomy: The study of structures that can only be seen with the aid of a microscope.
Microscopic Anatomy
The smallest unit of matter that can participate in chemical reactions.
Atoms
Branch of anatomy: The study of the development of the first eight (8) weeks of development after fertilization of the human egg.
Embryology
To God be the glory
It is made up of cells and extracellular matrix that work to perform a particular function.
Tissues
Composed of fibers and ground substance.
Extracellular Matrix
Branch of anatomy: The study of the complete development of an individual from fertilization to death.
Developmental Biology
A motion of the whole body and even the organelles within the cells.
Movement
Branch of anatomy: It studies changes (gross to microscopic) in organs or tissues associated with the disease process.
Pathological Anatomy
Branch of physiology: the study of the function of the lungs and air passageways
Respiratory Physiology
Branch of physiology: The study of the function of the kidneys
Renal Physiology
Branch of anatomy: Studies the structures that can be seen by the naked eye
Gross Anatomy
This type of tissue contracts to make body parts move and generates heat
Muscular Tissue
The basic structural and functional unit of life forms.
Cell
Structures that are composed of two or more different types of tissues. They have specific functions and usually recognizable shapes.
Organs
At this level of structural organization, different types of tissues are joined together.
Organ level
This very basic level of structural organization can be compared to the letters of the alphabet and includes atoms and molecules.
Chemical level
Branch of physiology: Studies the function of the heart and blood vessels.
Cardiovascular Physiology
Branch of anatomy: Studies the structures found within specific regions of the body.
Regional Anatomy
This type of tissue covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs and cavities, and forms glands.
Epithelial Tissue
All the parts of the human body functioning together constitutes this level of organizational structure
Organismal level
Branch of Physiology: The study of the body’s defense against invading microorganisms.
Immunology
It is the sum of all the chemical processes that occur in the body.
Metabolism
Production of new individuals. Formation of new cells for tissue repair or replacement
Reproduction
Any process that living things use to actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary for survival
Homeostasis
Branch of anatomy: The study of the structures of specific body systems.
Systemic Anatomy
This tissue type carries information from one part of the body to another through nerve impulses.
Nervous Tissue
This level of structural organization consists of related organs with a common function.
System level
The scientific study of cells
Cell biology/Cytology
The breakdown of complex chemical substances into simpler components.
Catabolism
Examiner listens to body sounds to evaluate the functioning of certain organs, often using a stethoscope to amplify the sounds
Auscultation
Development of a cell from an unspecialized to a specialized state.
Differentiation
Sets a range of values within which a controlled condition should be maintained
Control center
It reverses the change in the controlled condition.
Negative Feedback
If combined together, they will form organelles.
Molecules
Branch of physiology: The study of hormones
Endocrinology
An increase in the body size that results from the increase in the number and size of the cells.
Growth
This type of tissue connects, supports, and protects body organs while distributing blood vessels to other tissues.
Connective Tissue
The study of the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues.
Histology
Branch of physiology: The study of the function of the nerves
Neurophysiology
It is the building of complex chemical substances from smaller and simpler components.
Anabolism
The ability to detect and respond to changes within and outside of the body.
Responsiveness
The majority of the bacteria that make us sick; replicate at the normal body temperature of 37° C.
Mesophiles
