Anatomy and Phys. Chapter 18
| Chapter 18 | |
|---|---|
| Anatomy | study of structures of the body and their positional relationships |
| Physiology | study of how the body and its individual parts function in normal body processes |
| Homeostasis | tendency of the body’s internal environment to remain relatively constant with a narrow range of change |
| Hierarchy based on levels of complexity; from least to most complex | Chemical ➢Cellular ➢Tissue ➢Organ ➢Organ system ➢Organism |
| Cell membrane: | can have projections such as microvilli, cilia, and flagella |
| Cytoplasm | gel-like intracellular fluid |
| Organelles | Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) •Rough or smooth ER; rough has ribosomes ➢Golgi body ➢Mitochondria ➢Lysosomes ➢Centrioles ➢Nucleus |
| Cellular Processes: Passive | Energy or cell membrane activity not required •Diffusion: movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration until concentrations equalize |
| Cellular Processes: Passive | Osmosis: movement of water from an area of low concentration to high concentration until concentrations equalize |
| Cell | Basic unit of structure and function |
| Tissue | Group of similar cells that function together |
| Organ | Group of tissues that work together for a common function. |
| System | Group of organs working together for a common function |
| Organism | The human body is composed of many systems. |
| Inferior (CAUDAL) | nearer to the feet |
| Medial | toward the body’s midline |
| lateral | away from the body’s midline |
| IPSILATERAL | on the same side |
| CONTRALATERAL | on the opposite side |
| UNILATERAL | on one side |
| BILATERAL | On both sides |
| Lateral Recumbent | side lying |
| Feed Back Mechanisms | Positive feedback amplifies changes or deviations in a system, pushing it further away from its original state, |
| Feed Back Mechanisms | while negative feedback counteracts changes, helping to maintain stability and return the system to its set point. Both types of feedback are essential for regulating processes in biological and mechanical systems. |
| Anabolism | Chemical Reactions that use energy to form more complex molecules |
| Catabolism | Chemical reactions that release energy as they break down complex molecules |
| Aerobic Respiration | uses Oxygen to break down complex molecules into energy, water, and CO2. |
| Anaerobic Respiration | Incomplete breakdown of complex molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce a small amount of energy, water, and CO2. |
