Anatomy Lecture 1 Ex

TermDefinition
anatomy what is it
physiology what it does
homeostasis the ability of a living system to maintain stable internal condition no matter what is occurring outside of the body
anatomical position person standing erect with feet together on the floor facing forward, eyes facing forward, and palms out with thumbs pointing away from body
frontal plane divides body into anterior/posterior sections
sagittal plane divides into left and right sides
transverse divides into superior and inferior sections
dorsal cavity 1. Cranial cavity 2. Vertebral cavity
ventral cavity 1. Thoracic cavity 2. Abdominal cavity/Abdominalpelvic cavity
cephalic region head
cervical region neck
thoracic region chest
abdominal region abdomen
pelvic region pelvis
what does the cranial cavity contain? brain
what does the thoracic cavity contain? heart, lungs, trachea
what does the pericardial cavity contain? heart
what do the pleural cavities contain? lungs
what does the abdominal cavity contain? stomach, small and large intestine, liver, spleen, kidneys
what does the pelvic cavity contain? colon, rectum, bladder, uterus, ovaries
intracellular fluid fluid within the cell
extracellular fluid fluid outside and between cells
interstitial fluid fluid found in spaces around cells
lymph a collection of extra fluid that drains from cells and tissues
exocytosis substance moving out of the cell
endocytosis substance moving into the cell. 2 types
phagocytosis if the substance coming into the cell is a particle, it is called phagocytosis. eat bacteria. Patrick star.
pinocytosis if the substance coming into the cell is dissolved in the extracellur fluid, it is called pinocytosis (cell drinking)
passive diffusion no energy required, high to low concentration. 2 types
simple no energy required. substances is dissolved in the extracellular fluid. high to low
facilitated passive transport but uses the help of integral proteins
active requires energy, from low to high concentration
bulk transport moves large materials into cell, active transport, low to high
osmosis diffusion of water
hypotonic low concentration of electrolytes, allows water to rush into cell
hypertonic high concentration of electrolytes, allows water to rush out of cells
isotonic increases fluid volume, doesn’t effect the cell
epithelial tissue function protection, secretion, absorption, diffusion, filtration, sensory diffusion
EP tissue characteristics packed with cells, not much blood/no blood supply, usually found with connective tissue
connective tissue function protect and support organs, resilient, resist force
connective tissue characteristics composed of extracellular matrix (anything besides cells), E.M. composed of ground substance and fibers, has its own blood supply
major functions of blood Transportation - oxygen, minerals, etc. Regulation - ph and temp Protection - immune response
3 major plasma proteins and functions Albumin - keeps water in blood vessels and contributes to blood pressure Globulin - has antibodies and proteins that transport lipids, iron, and copper Fibrogin - involved in the chemical reaction for blood clotting
neutrophils 60-70% destroy bacteria, ingest forge in material, and remove dead cells - phagocyte
lymphocytes 20-25% most important cell in the immune system, fight infectious organisms
monocytes 3-8% phagocyte
Eosinophils 2-4% help end allergic reactions and fight parasitic infections
basophils 0.5-1% inflammation medication and allergic reactions
platelets thrombocytes functioning in blood clotting they are pieces of megakarocytes formed in red bone marrow
inguementary system function protection, body temp regulation, excretion, production of vitamin D, and sensory reception
sebaceous gland (oil) function moistens hair, waterproofs, and softens skin, inhibits bacterial growth
suboriferous gland (sweat) temperature regulation and emotional sweating
nails assist with grasping and manipulating, enhance touch, protect finger tips, scratching
spongy bone bone marrow house, inner bone, very spacious, supports bone marrow blood cell production
compact bone casing, hard bone, protects spongy bone, on the outside of bones. protection, structural strength
bone formation types Intramembranous ossification and Endochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification bone forms directly (skull, facial, and jaw bones, clavicle)
Endochondral ossification bone replaces cartilage (all other bones, from the base of the skull/clavicle down)
bone growth types interstitial growth and appositional growth
Interstitial growth (cartilage) new material is added from within (inside) grow in length
Appositional growth new material is added on the surface grow in thickness
bone remodeling resorption and deposition
resorption osteoclasts eat bone tissue to release minerals
deposition osteoblasts build new matrix
what effects remodeling? vitamins and minerals hormones: growth hormone, thyroid hormones, insulin, and sex hormones exercise: weight bearing exercise increases bone mass
Steps to repair a bone fracture 1. Hematoma formation 2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation 3. Bony callus formation 4. Bone remodeling
serous membrane a smooth tissue membrane that lines organs and walls of body cavities
visceral membrane a smooth tissue membrane that lines the outside of organs. inner most layer of the serous membrane.
parietal a smooth tissue membrane that lines the wall of the body cavity. outermost layer of the serous membrane.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
