A&P CHAPTER 1
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Atoms | Made up of subatomic particles |
Molecules | Two or more atoms |
Macromolecules | Small molecules joined together (Large molecule) |
Organelles | Made up of macromolecules -Combine to form cells |
Cells | Basic structural and function unit of the body |
Tissues | Groups of cells working together to perform a function |
4 Basic types Tissue | Epithelial , Connective, Muscle, Nerve |
Organs | Two or more tissues joined together with a specific function and shape |
Organ Systems | A group of organs that perform a general function -11 systems |
Integumentary system | C: Skin, Hair, Glands F: Protection, Regulate body temperature, Eliminates waster, Vitamin D, Sensation |
Skeletal System | C: Bines, Joints, Cartilage F: Support, Protection, Body movement, Produces blood cells, Stores minerals & fats |
Muscular System | C: Skeletal Muscle F: Body movement, Posture, Generate heat |
Nervous System | C:Brain, Spinal cord, Nerves, Special Sense organs F: Action potential (Nerve impulses), Detects, interprets, and responds to changes in environment |
Endocrine System | C:Hormone- producing gland cells F: Regulates body activities |
Cardiovascular System | C: Blood, Heart, Blood vessels F: Pumps blood, Carrie O2 and nutrients to cells and wastes away , regulates temperature, acid-base balance |
Lymphatic System | C: lymph fluid & vessels, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils F: transports dietary lipids, protection |
Respiratory System | C: lungs, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree F: exchange of gases, acid-base balance, sound production |
Digestive System | C: mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas F: breakdown of food, absorption of food, eliminates wastes |
Urinary System | C: kidney, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra F: eliminates waste, regulate blood composition & volume, acid-base balance |
Reproductive System | C: ovaries, testes, associated structures F: produce gametes, hormone regulation of reproduction |
Characteristics of Life | Movement Digestion Responsiveness Absorption Growth Circulation Reproduction Assimilation Respiration Excretion Differentiation |
Maintenance of Life | Water Food Oxygen Heat Pressure |
Homeostasis | Maintaining of a stable internal environment -Maintaining the volume and composition of body fluids -Intracellular (ICF) -Extracellular (ECF) |
Homeostatic control mechanisms | Components Control center Effector |
Components | Receptor that monitor changes Sends info to control center |
Control center | Evaluates input and generates output |
Effector | Receives output from control center Produces a response |
Balance is regulated by Nervous | Action potentials Rapid |
Endocrine | Hormones Slow |
Negative feedback | Corrects and action Most common; prevents sudden, severe changes in the body Creates stability EX: Body temp, BP, Glucose regulation |
Positive feedback | Enhances and action Uncommon loop Increases (accelerates) actions of the body Causes instability EX: blood clotting, child birth |
Dorsal Cavity | Cranial cavity; brain Vertebral canal; spinal cord |
Ventral body cavity | Thoracic cavity; heart & lungs Abdominal cavity; digestive organs, spleen, kidney Pelvic cavity; bladder, terminal end of digestive tract, reproductive system |
Diaphragm | separates thoracic and abdominal cavity |
Orbital cavity | Eyes, eyeball muscles, optic nerves, lacrimal tear ducts |
Nasal Cavity | parts that form the nose |
Buccal Cavity | teeth and tongue |
Anatomical position | Standing erect, facing forward, upper limbs at the sides, palms facing forward and thumbs out |
Sagittal (Medial) | Left and right portion |
Mid-sagittal | Equal left and right portions |
Transverse (Horizontal) | Superior and inferior portion |
Frontal (Coronal) | Anterior and posterior portion |
Visceral layer | Inner layer; covers an organ |
Parietal layer | Outer layer; lines wall of cavity |
Thoracic membranes | Visceral pleura, Parietal pleura , Visceral pericardium, Parietal pericardium |
Abdominopelvic Membranes | Parietal peritoneum Visceral peritoneum |
The pericardium contains | The heart |
Which layer of the pericardium is closest to the heart? | Pericardium cavity |
The palms are proximal/distal to the shoulder? | Distal |
Body cavity that enclose the lungs | Visceral peritoneum |
Membrane that covers organs in the abdominal cavity and upper portion of the pelvic cavity | Abdominopelvic |
Plane that divides the body into superior and inferior section | Transverse |
Term that means towards the midline of the body | Medial |
Term that means further away from the origin | Distal |
Correct order for the levels of organization starting with the simplest? | A_____> C_____> T______> O____>O____>O_______ |
Posterior | back |
Caudal | towards the tail |
Distal | away from the point of attachment |
Medial | towards the midline |
Cranial | towards the head |
Superficial | at or near the surface |
Deep | towards inferior of body farther from surface |
Proximal | towards point of attachment of a limb |
Lateral | away from the midline |
Superior | above |
Inferior | below |
Ventral | belly side up |
Dorsal | back side |
Anterior | the front surface |
Body cavity >Organ? Cranial | brain |
Body cavity >Organ? Spinal | spinal cord |
Body cavity >Organ? Thoracic | pericardial cavity, pleural cavity (lungs), mediastinum( heart) |
