QuestionAnswer
Anatomy and types The study of structure. Gross anatomy: visible to naked eye Microscopic anatomy/histology Developmental radiographic anatomy
Radiographic anatomy uses help of imaging to view anatomy that is not visibkle tto the naked eye. Ex: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) fMRI:
fMRI Functional magnetic resonance imaging . Type of tool. demonstrates increased blood flow, indicates specific uise in specific area. can also show CVA or necrosis
Microanatomy require microscope to view. Ex: tissue/cells. biopsy
Physiology The study of function. how the body works and organs integrate ex: molecular, cellular events, cell physiology, organ physiology, and pathophysiology
What is the essence of physiology? To reveal the dynamics of organismal life?
How are anatomy and physiology integrated? The study of function requires knowledge of structure. structure provides clues to function each can be studied separately, but function cannot be completely separated by structural aspects nor do structures stand isolated without function.
What is the smallest/basic unit of life cell
How can flow, current, blood flow, and air flow be calculated? and what is it an example of Flow = change in force/resistance blood flow=change in blood pressure/arterial resistance Air flow= change in air pressure/bronchiole resistance current: change in voltage/resistance example of applied physical law
What drives resistance up in blood vessels? fatty build up increases resistance of blood vessles resulting in elevated BP, BP= blood flow x resistance
Pathophysiology disease physiology aka abnormalities in physiology, usuallly traced back to the cellular event
List hierarchy of the body: 1. chemical (atoms)/molecular 2. cellular 3. tissue 4. organ 5. organ system 6. organism
What are the organ systems? 11 systems 1. integumentary 2. urinary 3. reproductive 4. endocrine 5. cardiovascular 6. skeletal 7. musculature 8. respiratory 9. Digestive 10. lymphatic 11. neurological
Tissue: grouping of same cells with same function
Organ grouping of same tissue
integumentary - function - composed - location - covers external body - made of skin, sweat glands, oil glands, hair, nail - protects deep tissue from injury and synthesizes vitamin D
Nervous system - main organs - function Made of brain, spinal column, and nerves fast-acting control system of the body responds to stimuli by activating muscles and glands
Skeletal system - main organs - functions - bone, cartilage, and ligaments - protects and supports organs - provides framework for muscles, site of blood formation, stores minerals
Muscular system - muscle tendons - manipulates environment, locomotive, and facial expression - maintains posture and produces heat
Endocrine system - cells and glands that secrete hormones - hormones carried by blood affect certain target tissue - Regular diff functions ex: growth, metabolism, reproduction, electrolyte balance
cardio-vascular system heart, blood vessels, blood - heart pumps blood - blood is transported by blood vessels - important for gas transfer, nutrients, waste, products, defence mechanism
Lymphatic/immune Made of bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels collect fluid from blood vessels and returns it to blood disposes debris in the lymphatic stream contains WBC needed in immunity
Respiratory Made of nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
Digestive oral cavity. esophagus, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, rectum, anus, and liver
What is the function of the digestive system breaks down food into small absorbable units that will enter the blood eliminate the indigestible into feces
Urinary system kidney's, urinary bladder, and urethra
What is the function of the urinary system eliminate nitrogenous waste from the body regulate water, electrolyte, and pH balance of the blood
Reproductive system differs between male and female Male: prostate gland, penis, testes, scrotum, and ductus deferens Female: mammary glands, ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina
Function of female reproductive systems - production of offspring - ovaries make eggs and female sex hormones - mammary glands make milk - other structures are sites for fertilization and development of fetus
environmental conditions that affect organization of the body Affect cells, tissues, organs, in the way the integrate successfully ex: nutrients, oxygen, water, temperature, atmospheric pressure
Homeostasis is the stability of the internal world. process that maintains internal environment within parameters despite environmental changes
What is the environment of the body that needs to be controlled? Fluid surrounding the cells.
What is the total body water composed of? Extracellular fluid (ECF): plasma and interstitial fluid Intracellular fluid (ICF): locates inside human cells total 42 liters of fluid x person that weighs 70 kg
Where is the extracellular fluid and what is it made of? Locates outside the cell. 1. plasma: inside the blood vessels, make ~3 l 2. interstitial fluid: in-between the cells, ~11 liters
What percentage of person is water content? does it vary between people? 60% of body weight is water content females have more than males
What are the percentages of water content in the body 64% intercellular fluid, 8% plasma 25% interstitial fluid rest is minor components
capillaries the smallest blood vessels that are very permeable to fluids and small molecules. restrict passage of blood cells and proteins barrier btw plasma and interstitial fluid
because capillaries are very permeable what happens? plasma and interstitial fluids have similar ion and small molecule compositions.
cell membrane has selective permeability, gatekeeper of in/outs of cells. prevents flowing in and out of interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid
optimal functioning of a cell depends on ? optimal conditions of the extracellular fluid determines the state of the ICF
Where is the highest concentration of sodium located? Where is present the least? 1. blood plasma 2. intracellular fluid
Where is the highest concentration of potassium located? Where is present the least? 1. most in intracellular fluid 2. least in blood plasma and interstitial fluid
Where is the highest concentration of magnesium located? Where is present the least? 1. Most, but not in great quantity in the intracellular fluid 2. least in blood plasma and interstitial fluid
Where is the highest concentration of chloride located? Where is present the least? 1. Most elevated in interstitial fluid, followed similarly in the blood plasma 2. least in intracellular fluid
Where is the highest concentration of protein anions located? Where is present the least? 1. most in intracellular 2. almost nonexistent in interstitial fluid 3. second least in the blood plasma
Where is the highest concentration of Bicarbonate located? Where is present the least? HCO3- most in interstitial fluid, second in blood plasma least in interstitial fluid
Where is the highest concentration of hydrogen phosphate located? Where is present the least? most in intracellular fluid, almost nonexistent in blood plasma and intracellular fluid
Where is the highest concentration of sulfate located? Where is present the least? Most in intracellular almost none in interstitial fluid and blood plasma

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
