Anatomy and Physiology 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define Anatomy | the study of body parts |
| Define Physiology | the study of functions of body parts |
| Examples of specific fields | Systemic anatomy and physiology |
| Levels of organization | chemical (atoms and molecules) cellular (cells and their organelles) tissue (group of similar cells) organ (group of 2 types of tissue) organ system ( 2 or more organs working together) |
| Importance of anatomic position | It is position of reference |
| Identify 3 body planes | transverse, sagittal and coronal |
| Upper right quadrant | kidney, most of liver and gal bladder |
| Upper left quadrant | kidney, stomach and spleen |
| Lower right quadrant | 1/2 bladder and appendix |
| Lower left quadrant | 1/2 bladder |
| Types of Serosal membranes and where | visceral (inner layer) parietal (outer layer) |
| Define Homeostasis | ability to maintain a consistent inner environment in response to changing conditions. |
| Receptor | sensor |
| Control Center | ability to determine set point in which variable is maintained |
| Effector | response act to reduce or enhance feedback |
| Set Point | the ideal normal value for a variable |
| Define negative and positive feedback | positive feedback amplifies the stimulus in same direction while negative feedback regulates most body process and moves stimulus in opposite direction |
| Characteristics common to all living things (first 3) | organization (perform specific functions) development (changes organisms go through) metabolism (sum of all chemical reactions) |
| Integumentary system | skin ; provides protective barrier |
| Nervous system | brain ; controls cell function |
| Reproductive system | vagina ; produces gametes |
| Respiratory system | lungs ; adds oxygen to blood and removes carbon dioxide |
| Skeletal system | bones ; protects major organs |
| Muscular system | cardiac muscle ; moves bones |
| Characteristics common to living things (second 3) | regulation (responses to stimuli regulate body functions) responsiveness (ability to sense and react to stimuli) reproduction (production of new cells) |
| Urinary system | Kidneys ; removes waste |
| Cardiovascular system | heart ; transports nutrients |
| Digestive system | stomach ; breaks down food so body can absorb |
| Endocrine | pancreas ; control cell functions with hormones (homeostasis) |
| Lymphatic | thymus ; filters and detects diseases |
