1st Exam Concept Review

QuestionAnswer
Anatomy Study of the body Structure
Physiology Study of the function of the body
Homeostasis The maintenance of a constant internal environment
Control Center Homeostatic mechanism maintains the "Set Point" & Makes decisions about how to return the system to that point
Role of Receptors in Homeostasis: Receptors detect changes in the internal or external environment and send this information to the control center, helping initiate responses that restore homeostasis.
Layers of the Serous Membrane Parietal layer & Visceral layer
Parietal layer Lines the body cavity.
Visceral layer Directly covers the organs
Planes Dividing the Body and Brain Sagittal Plane, Mid Sagittal Plane, Coronal (frontal) Plane, Transverse(Horizontal)Plane
Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right portions.
Midsagittal Plane Divides the body into equal left and right halves.
Coronal (Frontal) Plane Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) regions
Transverse (Horizontal) Plane Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections.
Organs Located in the Mediastinum The mediastinum contains the heart, trachea, esophagus, thymus gland, and major vessels such as the aorta and superior vena cava.
Anatomical Position The anatomical position is standing upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides, palms forward, and feet flat and slightly apart.
Integumentary Skin, hair, nails — protects the body.
Nervous Brain, spinal cord, nerves — controls responses
Skeletal Bones, cartilage — provides support
Muscular: Muscles enables movement.
Digestive Stomach, intestines — processes food.
Cardiovascular Heart, blood vessels — transports blood.
Endocrine Glands such as the thyroid — regulates hormones.
Reproductive Ovaries or testes — produces offspring
Respiratory Lungs, trachea — gas exchange.
Urinary Kidneys, bladder — removes waste
Cervical Neck region
Lumbar Lower back
Cephalic Head
Brachial Upper arm
Antebrachial Forearm
Femoral Thigh
Plantar Sole of the foot
Popliteal Back of the knee
Abdominopelvic Regions: ,Epigastric, Umbilical, Hypogastric , Right and Left Hypochondriac, Right and Left Lumbar, Right and Left Iliac (inguinal)
Major Cavities of the Axial Portion Cranial cavity, Spinal cavity, Thoracic cavity, Abdominopelvic cavity
Cranial cavity Contains the brain.
Spinal cavity Contains the spinal cord.
Thoracic cavity Contains the heart and lungs
Abdominopelvic cavity Contains digestive and reproductive organs.
Structure Separating Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Cavities The diaphragm
Protons Positive charge
Electrons Negative charge
Neutrons No Charge
pH Scale Measurement the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution, indicating whether it is acidic or basic.
Acid pH <7
Basic pH >7
Neutral pH 7
pH of Human Blood: 7.35–7.45
Anion Negatively charged (gains electrons)
Cation Positively charged (loses electrons)
Ionic bond Transfer of electrons between atoms.
Covalent bond Sharing of electrons between atoms.
Hydrogen bond Weak attraction between polar molecules.
Ion varies by electron number (charge),
Isotope varies by neutron number (mass).
Sugars and Starches Are Classified As Carbohydrates, which serve as a major source of energy
Most Abundant Inorganic Substance in the Body: Water
Lipids insoluble in water, store energy, form cell membranes, and include fats, oils, and steroids. Most Common Lipid is triglycerides
Proteins Are Made Of Proteins consist of amino acids linked together in specific sequences.
Nucleic Acid with a Double Chain DNA
Saturated No double bonds, solid at room temperature
Unsaturated One or more double bonds, liquid at room temperature.
Major Components of the Cell Membrane: phospholipids, proteins, and cholesterol; permeable mainly to lipid-soluble substances.
Cell Part That Directs Activities The nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulum Synthesizes proteins (rough) and lipids (smooth)
Golgi apparatus Modifies, packages, and ships these molecules.
Powerhouse of the Cell (mitochondrion) produces ATP, the cell’s primary energy source.
Vesicles Transport materials.
Lysosomes Digest waste and foreign material
Endocytosis Brings materials into the cell.
Exocytosis Moves materials out of the cell
Phagocytosis Cell eating” — large particles.
Pinocytosis Cell drinking” — Small Particles fluids.
Hypotonic Cell swells (water enters)
Hypertonic Cell shrinks (water leaves)
Isotonic Solution same solute concentration as the cell; no net water movement occurs.
Flagella Long, few, used for movement
Cilia Short, many, move materials across cell surfaces.
Diffusion the net movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
facilitated diffusion a type of passive transport that moves substances across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins,
What Diffusion and Facilitated Diffusion Have in Common Both move molecules from high to low concentration without energy input.
Synthesis phase Chromosomes replicate
Cytokinesis Is the division of Cytoplasm
Na/K pump active transport
Osmosis Specifically regarding the movement of water through aquaporins which are water channels between phospholipids of the cell membrane
Apoptosis Programed cell Death as part of it’s life and Necrosis is Cell death because of damage
Cephalic Head
Cervical Neck
Thoracic Chest
Abdominal Stomach
Pelvic Pelvis
Lumbar Lower back

Superficial Near the surface
Proximal Closer to the point of attachment
Distal Further away from the point of attachment
Medial Near the midline
Lateral Further away from the midline
Protons Positive charge
Neutrons No charge (neutral)
Electrons Negative charge
Carbon (C)
Hydrogen (H)
Nitrogen (N)
Oxygen (O)
Phosphorous (P)
Sulfur (S)
Calcium (Ca)
Sodium (Na)
Potassium (K)
Chlorine (Cl)
Iron (Fe)
Iodine (I)
Magnesium (Mg)
Lipids These are molecules that are generally hydrophobic (insoluble in water) and include fats, oils, and steroids.
Hydrophobic Refers to substances that repel water or do not mix well with water, essentially having a "fear" of water.
Hydrophilic Refers to substances that can interact with water or "love" water, making them soluble in water.
triglyceride is made of Glycerol and 3 fatty acids
nucleotides The basic building blocks of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA
