SALT Anatomy

QuestionAnswer
Anatomy Body structure and the study of body structures
Homosapiens Man or human being having wisdom
Organism A living body with a high degree of Biological Order
Physiology the study of the Nature of living things
Cadavers bodies that have “fallen dead”
Who was the Italian professor from the 16th century who is given credit as the Father of Anatomy? Andreas Vesalius
Know the Nine Levels of Anatomy IN ORDER! Organism, Organ System, Organ, Tissue, Cell, Organelle, Molecule, Atom, Subatomic Particle
Where does the life line fall on the Anatomy Triangle and why? Below CELLS because it is the lowest living level of body organization
Midsagittal plane the plane passed down through the middle of the sagittal suture such that it subdivides the body into exactly equal right and left halves
Coronal plane the plane passed down through the body in the direction of the coronal suture, which subdivides the body into both front and back portions
Transverse Plane the plane that is “turned” and passed “across” or “through” the body in a “horizontal,” left-right direction
Medial closer to the “middle” of body midline
Lateral farther to the “side”, a greater distance away from the body midline
Anterior one that is in front
Posterior behind or in the back
Superior one that is above
Inferior one that is below
Cranial pertains to the skull
Proximal closer to
Distal farther or distant
The Integumentary System (skin, hair, nails)protects the body, keeps water inside, regulates temperature
The Skeletal System (bones & joints) supports and protects the body, works with muscles to allow movement
The Muscular System enables the body to move
The Nervous System (brain, spinal cord, nerves and sensory receptors) detects and interprets info.outside and inside the body.
The Glandular System (endocrine and exocrine glands) Controls many regulatory processes by means of chemicals
The Circulatory System (heart, blood vessels, blood tissue)Distributes blood throughout the body, supplying needed material too and waste away from the body
The Lymphatic-Immune System (lymph vessels and thymus gland)fights disease
The Respiratory System (nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs) provides oxygen to the body while getting rid of carbon dioxide
The Digestive System (from the oral cavity down to the anus) takes in food, breaks it down, absorbs nutrients, removes waste
The Genitourinary System (urinary and reproductive) removes waste, produces sex cells, controls male and female characteristics
the simplest form of a chemical element atom
four most common atoms Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
subatomic particles of an atom nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons
Molecule A combination of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
What holds atoms together to make a molecule Chemical Bond = a linkage between the outer electron clouds of different atoms
how many atoms are in a molecule? can be a few to several hundred
body fluids classified as inorganic saline (salt) solutions and are just as vital to the human body as the cell
solvent the liquid (the dissolver)
solute the substance dissolved in the liquid
solution the solute and solvent combined
electrolyte a substance that “breaks down” into ions when placed into water solvent, such that the resulting solution can conduct an electrical current
the four major types of organic molecules Protein, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Nucleic acids
