First study stack assignment (1-5 weeks) Anatomy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define of "Anatomy" | The scientific study of the structure (morphology) of the body and its parts. |
| Define "Homeostasis" | A state of dynamic constancy in the body's internal environment maintained by regulatory mechanisms (Primarily negative feedback). |
| What is Anatomical Position? | The standard body reference position: standing erect, arms at the sides, palms forward, and feet parallel. |
| Superficial: | A directional term meaning closer to the surface of the body (e.g., skin is superficial to muscle). |
| Transverse Plane: | An imaginary plane that divides the body or organ into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions. |
| An organelle is: | A specialized, tiny structure within a cell that performs a specific job (e.g., mitochondrion or nucleus). |
| Cell Membrane: | The outer boundary of the cell; a selectively permeable barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell. |
| Mitochondrion is: | The "powerhouse" of the cell; the primary site of ATP (energy) production through cellular respiration. |
| Nucleus is: | The largest organelle; contains the cell's DNA (genetic material) and controls cellular activities. |
| Tissue: | A group of similar cells that work together to perform a single, specific function (e.g., epithelial tissue). |
| Epithelial Tissue: | A primary tissue type that forms coverings, linings, and glands; cells are closely packed with little matrix. |
| Connective Tissue is: | A primary tissue type that supports, protects, and binds other tissues; characterized by an extensive extracellular matrix (e.g., bone, blood). |
| Muscle Tissue: | A primary tissue type specialized for contraction to produce movement; types include skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. |
| Nervous Tissue is: | A primary tissue type specialized for generating and transmitting electrical impulses to communicate and control body functions. |
| Define Histology: | he division of anatomy that specifically studies tissues using a microscope (microscopic anatomy). |
| The Epidermis is: | The outermost, thinner layer of the skin; composed of stratified squamous epithelium, and is avascular (lacks blood vessels). |
| The Dermis is: | The deeper, thicker layer of the skin; composed of connective tissue and contains blood vessels, nerves, glands, and hair follicles. |
| Keratin is: | A tough, fibrous protein found in the epidermis, hair, and nails that provides protection and makes the structure water-resistant. |
| Melanin is: | The pigment produced by melanocytes that determines skin and hair color and protects the underlying layers from UV radiation. |
| Sudoriferous Glands produces: | sweat; involved in temperature regulation and waste excretion. |
