Anatomy and Phys.

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.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
