Assignment 1
Week 1-5 Mid-term Study
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Anatomy | is the branch of biology that studies the structure and organization of living organisms. |
| Physiology | is the branch of biology that studies the functions and processes of living organisms and their parts. |
| Sagittal Plane | Divides the body into left and right sections. If it runs directly down the midline, it is called the midsagittal or median plane. |
| Coronal Plane | Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections. |
| Transverse Plane | (or Horizontal Plane): Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections. |
| Oblique Plane | Any plane that is not aligned with the three primary planes (sagittal, coronal, transverse), typically cutting through the body at an angle. |
| List order of increasing complexity the levels of organization of the body and the major organ systems, | Chemical level, Cellular level, Tissue Level, Organ level, Organ System level, and Organism level. |
| Chemical Level | Atoms and molecules, the basic building blocks of matter. |
| Cellular Level | Cells, the basic units of life, composed of various molecules. |
| Cellular Level | Tissues, groups of similar cells that perform specific functions. |
| Organ Level | Organs, structures made up of different tissues working together for specific functions. |
| Organ System Leve | Organ systems, groups of organs that work together to perform complex functions. |
| Organism Level | The entire living entity, capable of independent life, such as a human being. |
| Metabolism | refers to the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism to maintain life. |
| Catabolism | The process of breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. |
| Anabolism | The process of building larger molecules from smaller ones, requiring energy input. |
| 3 types of muscle tissue | Skeletal Muscle, Cardiac Muscle, and Smooth Muscle. |
| Classify the four types of bones | Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, and Irregular bones. |
| Name the six major structures | Skeletal system, Muscular system, Nervous system, Endocrine system, Cardiovascular system, and Respiratory system. |
