Anatomy Terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gross Anatomy | The study of the macroscopic structures of an organism. |
| Microscopic Anatomy | The study of the microscopic structures of an organism. |
| Physiology | The study of the functions of an organism and its parts. |
| Histology | The study of tissues. |
| Organ | A group of tissues specialized for a particular function. |
| Homeostasis | A state of equilibrium in the body with respect to its functions, chemical levels, and tissues. |
| Effector | A structure in the body that can change the value of a variable. |
| Selective Permeability | The ability to let certain materials in or out while restricting others. |
| Endocytosis | The process by which large molecules are taken into the cell. |
| Exosytosis | Transportation of material from inside the cell to outside the cell. |
| Integumentary System | Skin, hair, etc. |
| Skeletal System | Bones, cartilage, etc. |
| Muscle System | Muscles, tendons, etc. |
| Nervous System | Brain, spinal cord, nerves, etc. |
| Endocrine System | Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, etc. |
| Circulatory System | Heart, veins, arteries, etc. |
| Lymphatic System | Lymph nodes, lymph vessels, spleen, etc. |
| Digestive System | Stomach, liver, intestines, etc. |
| Respiratory System | Lungs, trachea, etc. |
| Urinary System | Kidneys, bladder, etc. |
| Reproductive System | Male - Testes, seminal vesicle, etc. Female - Ovaries, uterus, etc. |
| 4 basic tissues | Nervous tissue. Muscular tissue. Connective tissue. Epithelial tissue. |
| Plasma Membrane | The boundary of the cell. It holds things together and it controls entry and exit of substances. |
| Nucleous | Contains genetic material, which is also known as DNA |
| Cytoplsam | |
| Ribosomes | Synthesize proteins |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | A series of tubes which are used to transport inside of a cell, as well as the production of lipids and carbohydrates. |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Used for transportation as well, but it is rough in appearance because of the ribosomes on it. It is also used to synthesize proteins. |
| Golgi Apparatus | They take various chemicals and package them for many purposed including secretion. |
| Lysosome | It's main function is to breakdown lipids, proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids. |
| Mitochondria | The major site of ATP synthesis in the cell. |
| Seven Levels of Organization | 1. Organism 2. Organ Systems 3. Organs 4. Tissues 5. Cells 6. Organelles 7. Molecules |
| Stages of Mitosis | 1. Prophase (Early and late) 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase |
