Module 1&2 A&P
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Anatomy | The Study of the structures of the body. |
| Physiology | The study of how the body functions. |
| Organization of the body | Ranges from simple to complex. |
| Epithelial Tissue | Covers or lines body surfaces. |
| Connective tissue | Connects and supports parts of the body; some transports and stores minerals |
| Muscle Tissue | Contracts to produce movement. |
| Nerve Tissue | Generates and transmits impulses to regulate body functions. |
| Integumentary system (Skin, Hair, Nails) | Key Functions: Protection, Temperature regulation, Water retention, Sensations. |
| Skeletal System (Bones, Cartilage, Ligaments) | Key Functions: Protection of body organs, Support, Movement, Blood formation. |
| Muscular System (Primarily skeletal muscles) | Key Functions: Movement, Posture, Heat productions. |
| Lymphatic Systems (Lymph nodes,lymphatic vessels,lymph, thymus, spleen, and tonsils) | Key Functions: Role in fluid balance, Production of immune cells, Defense against disease. |
| Respiratory System ( Nose, pharynx,larynx, trachea,bronci, and lungs) | Key Functions: Absorption of oxygen, discharge of carbon dioxide, acid-base balance, speech) |
| Urinary System ( Kidneys, ureters,urinary bladder, and Urethra) | Key Functions: Excretion of waste, regulation of blood volume and pressure, control of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. |
| Nervous System ( Brain, spinal cord, and sense organs) | Key Functions: Control, regulation and coordination of other systems, Sensation, Memory. |
| Endocrine System ( Pituitary gland, adrenals, pancreas, thyroid, parathyroids, and other organs) | Key Functions: Hormone Production, Control and regulation of other systems. |
| Circulatory System | Key Functions: Distribution of oxygen, nutrients, wastes, hormones, immune cells,electrolytes,and antibodies, fluid, electrolyte, and acid- base balance |
| Digestive System | Key Function: Breakdown and absorption of nutrients; elimination of waste |
| Female Reproductive System | Key Functions: Production of eggs, birth, fetal site, lactation, secretion of sex hormones |
| Anatomical Position | Standing erect with arms at sides and with face, palms, and feet facing forward |
| Superior | Above |
| Inferior | Below |
| Anterior | Towards the front of the body |
| Posterior | Towards the back of the body |
| Proximal | Closest to the point of orgin |
| Distal | Farthest from the point of orgin |
| Medial | Towards the body midline |
| Superficial | At or near the body's surface |
| Deep | Away from the Body's surface |
| Negative Feedback | When the effector opposes the stimulus and reverses the direction of change. |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy in motion |
| Metabolism | All of the chemical reactions in the body |
| Anabolism | Building larger and more complex chemicals from smaller subunits |
| Factors that affect reaction rate | Temperature, concentration, catalyst |
| Mixture | 2 or more substances blend together rather than chemically combine |
| Compound | 2 or more elements combine to create a new subsance |
| Soultion | Consist of particles of matter dissolved in a more abundant substance, usually water. |
| Colloid | Can change from liquid to gel |
| Suspension | Contain large particles, making the suspension cloudy or opaque |
| The more hydrogen produced....... | The stronger the acid |
| PH Scale | The acidity or alkalinity of the substance. Scale ranges from 0-14. |
| Ph of Blood | 7.35-7.45 |
| Four major organic compound groups: | Carbohydrates, lipid,proteins, nucleic acid |
| Organic | Vast array pf compounds that contain carbon |
| Carbohydrates | The body's main source of energy |
| Essential amino acids | Eight amino acids must be obtained from food |
| Nucleic Acids | DNA and RNA |
| In ATP when energy is released... | Bonds are broken through chemical reactions |
