Week 1 - Level Of Organisation Flashcards
Chemical Level Atoms and Molecules?
H,C,N,O - Molecules: Water, Sugars, Fatty Acids, Amino Acids, Nucleotides
Tissue Level of organisation: give examples
Epithelia: Cover exposed surfaces, line internal passageways + chambers, Produce Glandular secretions.
Connective Tissues: Fill internal spaces, structural support, store energy.
Muscle Tissues: Contracts to produce active movement.
Neural Tissue: Conducts Electrical Impulses.
Define Organ (give examples)
A discrete collection of two or more tissues cooperatively
performing a function
e.g.
• Heart
• Femur
• Biceps brachii muscle
Skeletal System two types of skeleton
Axial Skeleton: Skull, Sternum, Ribs, Verterbrae etc
Appendicular Skeleton: Supporting bones(eg scapula and clavicle), Upper limb and lower limb bones, pelvis.
Muscular system types of muscles
Appendicular muscles and Axial Muscles
Nervous system 2 systems
CNS: Brain and Spinal Chord
PNS: Peripheral Nerves
