|---|---|
| smallest units of an organism that carry out all basic functions of life | cells |
| enclosed by a plasma membrane and contains a nucleus, an organelle (contains DNA) | cell |
| a mass of similar cells and cell products that forms a discrete region of an organ and performs a specific function | tissues |
| how many primary classes of tissue are there? | 4. epithelial(skin), connective(tendons/ ligaments), nervous(nerves), muscular(contraction) |
| structures composed of two or more tissue types that work together to carry out a particular function | organs |
| a group of organs that carry out a basic function of the organism | body systems |
| what are the 11 body systems? | integumentary(skin) skeletal(206 bones) digestive urinary endocrine(body chemistry) reproductive respiratory muscular circulatory nervous lymphatic(immune system) |
| cellular composition: | living matter is composed of one or more cells biological view point(life has to have certain characteristics) |
| metabolism: | the sum of all chemical reactions necessary to sustain life biological view point(life has to have certain characteristics) |
| catabolism: | large complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones for absorption biological view point(life has to have certain characteristics) |
| anabolism: | complex molecules are synthesized from simpler ones |
| homeostasis | bodys tendency to maintain an internal equalibrium |
| anatomical position | stance when a person stands erect with palms, eyes, toes forward |
| supine | lying facing up |
| prone | laying facing down |
| superior | towards the top or above |
| ventral | anterior to |
| distal | below; far from |
| dorsal | posterior, towards the spine |
| inferior | below |
| dorsal cavitie (brain) | major body cavatie |
| ventral cavitie (frontal) | major body cavitie |
| thoracic cavity (lungs) | ventral cavity |
| pericardial cavity (heart) | ventral cavity |
| abnormal cavity (digestive organs) | ventral cavity |
| pelvic cavity (bladder, reproductive organs) | ventral cavity |
| sagittal (anatomical plains) | body split into left and right |
| frontal/ coronal (anatomical plains) | splits body into front and back |
| transverse/ horizontal (anatomical plains) | body split in half at the stomach |
| integumentary (skin) | barrier against pathogens, prevents dehydration & regulates body temp |
| skeltal | supports and protects |
| digestive | absorption of nutrients |
| urinary (kidneys, bladder) | regulation of fluids; elimination of waste |
| bilirubin | helps digest fats |
| capillary blood | mixture of arterial blood, venous blood and tissue fluid |
| endocrine | hormone production |
| reproductive | gamete production |
