General Anatomy & Physiology
| QuestionMu | Answer |
|---|---|
| Catabolism | Process of metabolism;complex compounds break down to smaller ones.Releases energy for muscle contractions,body secretions & heat production.They're BROKEN DOWN |
| Anabolism | Constructive metabolism;process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones.Body will store nutrients for later.They BUILD UP |
| Metabolism | Cells are nourished in 2 parts: anabolism & catabolism.A chemical process that takes place in living organisms.The cells are nourished & carry out their activities |
| Palatine | Roof of the mouth (think palate!) |
| Cells | The basic unit of all living things |
| Protoplasm | Colorless,jellylike substance in which food elements such as proteins are present |
| Nucleus | Dense active protoplasm in the center |
| Cytoplasm | All of the protoplasm of the cell except the nucleus |
| cell metabolism | encloses the protoplasm |
| Mitosis | When cells divide into 2 daughter cells (identical) |
| Epithelial tissue | A protective covering on the body.SKIN |
| How many bones does the human skeleton have? | the human skeleton has 206 bones |
| Occipital Bone | The hindmost bone of the skull.It forms the back of the skull,above the nape |
| Maxillae Bones | upper jaw |
| Mandible | lower jaw."Strong man".The strongest bone on the face |
| Zygomatic (malar bones) | Bones that form the prominence of the cheeks;the cheekbones |
| Hyoid Bone | Aka adams apple.Center of the neck.A U-shaped bone @ the base of the tongue that supports the tongue & it's muscles & the cervical veretrabe |
| Cervical Vertabrae | The 7 bones @ the top of the vertebral column.Located in the NECK region |
| Clavicle | Collarbone;joining the sternum & scapula |
| Humerus | The upper most largest bone of the arm |

| Carpus | The wrist (Think carpal tunnel) |
| How many muscles does the face has? | The face has 30 muscles |
| Striated Muscles | Aka skeletal or voluntary muscles ( attached to the bone).Muscles that are controlled by the will(Muscle that has lines you can see) |
| Non-Striated Muscles | Aka involuntary or visceral or smooth muscles.These functions automatically (lines you can't see in the muscle) |
| How do you massage? | Massage insertion to origin |
| Central Nervous System (Cerebrospinal & CNS) | The primary control center for the whole nervous system.(CNS= all conscious,voluntary,five senses).Consist's of the brain,spinal cord,spinal nerves & cranial nerves |
| Dendrite | Recieves impulses from other neurons.Tree like branching of nerve fibers extendong from a nerve cell;short nerve fibers that carry impulses toward the cell |
| Axon | Sends msgs away from the cells to other neurons |
| The 7th Cranial Nerve | Chief motor nerve of the face emerging near the lower part of the ear |
| Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) | Function to carry impulses msgs to & frm the central nervous system.(Think Peri-meter or outer regions).(PNS=subdivides afferent periph).(Efferent periph= subdivides somatic nervous system)& (ANS=Autonomic nervous system) |
| Brain stem | structure that connect the spinal cord to the brain |
| Brain | Part of the CNS contained in the cranium;largest & most somplex nerve tissue;controls sensation muslces,glandular activity & the power to the think & feel |
| Biceps | Nutritive fluid circulating through the circulatory system (heart,veins,arteries & capillaries) |
| Belly (Muscles) | Middle part of a muscle |
| Anatomy | The study of the structure of the body that can be seen w/ the naked eye & what's made up of;the science of the structure of organisms or of their parts |
| Corrugator Muscle | Facial muscle that draws eyebrows down & wrinkles on the forehead vertically |
| Connective Tissue | Fibrous tissue that bins together,protects & supports the various parts of the body such as bone cartilage & tendons |
| Cervical Cutaneous Nerves | Nerve located @ the side of the neck that affects the front & sides of the neck as far as the breastbone |
| Capillaries | Thin-walled blood vessels that connect the smaller arteries to the veins |
| Buccal Nerve | Nerve that affects the muscles of the mouth |
| Depressor Labii Inferioris | Aka Quadratus Labii Inferious.Muscle surrounding the lower lip; depresses the lower lip & draws it to one side. |
| Beoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) | The blueprint material of genetic info; that controls the function of every living cell |
| 11th Cranial Nerve (Accessory) | A type of motor nerve that controls that motion of the neck muscles |
| Orbicularis Oris | Flat band around the y\upper & lower lips that compresses,contracts,puckers & wrinkles the lips |
