Anatomy Unit 1

Homeostasis, TYPES OF TISSUES, body systems, directional terms, planes, caviites

TermDefinition
5 Survival Needs Atmospheric pressure, body temp, oxygen, water, and nutrients
Receptor What gets the information; the receiver ex.skin
Control center Makes the directions; decision maker ex. brain (thalamus and stem)
Effector The thing that does something about the info. ex. muscles shiver
Negative feedback Body going towards homeostasis ex. too hot = sweat to cool
Positive feedback Going away from homeostasis. Will only end if something externally stops or you die ex. child birth, stab wound
Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy is all about structure and Physiology is
Levels of Organization Atom --> molecule --> macromolecule --> organelle --> cell --> tissue --> organ --> organ system -->organism
Integumentary To serve as protection/barrier and temp. control Skin and Hair
Respiratory Allows for gas exchange --> removal of CO2 waste and to deliver Oxygen from air into blood. Lungs and Trachea
Reproductive To continue the species Ovaries and Testes
Cardiovascular Pumps/circulates blood to deliver O2 and nutrients. Heart and Arteries
Lymphatic A drainage system, waste removal, and fights infections Spleen and Thymus
Immune Fights infections Bone Marrow and Thymus
Digestive Breaks down nutrients for absorption Stomach and Intestines
Skeletal For structure, protection, and movement Joints and Bones
Muscular For movement and posture Biceps and Hamstrings
Nervous Control system and communication network Brain and Spinal Chord
Endocrine Controls hormones to regulate growth, reproduction, and metabolism . Thyroid and Pituitary Gland
Urinary Filters blood and expels waste from the body like proteins, water, toxins, etc. Bladder and Kidneys
Superior Closer to head
Inferior Closer to feet
Dorsal (Posterior) Towards the back
Ventral (Anterior) Towards the front
Lateral Towards the sides
Medial Towards the midline
Superficial Closer to surface
Deep Further from surface
Proximal Closer to the trunk
Distal Further from the trunk
Median/Midsaggital plane Runs from front to back in the center and splits body into left and right portions.
Transverse plane Horizontal plane parallel to ground that splits the body into upper and lower halves. GOJO
Frontal plane Plane that splits body into front and back.
Dorsal cavity Contains cranial (brain) and vertebral (spinal cord) cavities
V.C. Thoracic cavity Heart and Lungs
V.C. Abdominal cavity Digestive Viscera
V.C. Pelvic cavity Urinary bladder, Reproductive organs, rectum
Epithelial - Contacts open spaces - outside/outermost - Covers organs and lines them! - Cells divide regularly - NO blood vessels connected directly to them
Simple ONE layer
Stratified MULTIPLE layers
Simple Squamous - Squished shape - Pretty thin - For diffusion!! - Found in alveoli (sacs in lungs) and capillaries
Simple Cuboidal - Square shape - Thicker and provides protective barrier, secretion, and absorption - Found in tiny tubes (lining) in kidneys, pancreas, ovaries
Simple Columnar - Column shape - Has goblet cells (cup of mucus) to help things slide - Has microvilli (finger-like projections that increase surface area) - Allows for nutrient absorption - Found in lining of digestive tract/intestines
Stratified Squamous - Mult. layers of squished cells - Great for protection - Found in epidermis
Stratified Cuboidal - Mult. layers of cubed cells - Found in big tubes. Ex. sweat glands and male urethra
Stratified Columnar - Mult. layers of column shaped - Found in Vas Deferens (Tube from testicle to prostate)
Transitional Epithelium - Found in bladder - Goes from CUBED TO SQUISHED - Stretches in response to tension
Psuedostratified Columnar Epithelium - "Fake" strat. Looks like mult. layers but it's not - Has goblet and cilia - Found in upper respiratory tract - Protects by catching germs and sweeping them out via cillia
Glandular Epithelium : EXOCRINE - Glands that secrete through ducts into a cavity OR body surface - Has diff. structures and types
Merocrine gland (exocrine) - Secretes FLUIDS - Ex. sweat glands, tear glands
Aporcrine gland (exocrine) - Secretes PARTS OF CELLS - Ex. Mammary gland
Holocrine gland (exocrine) - Secretes WHOLE CELLS - Ex. Sebaceous (oil) gland
Glandular Epithelium : ENDOCRINE - Secretes into blood/stays inside - hormones - NO ducts
Connective Tissue - Connects tissue from basal layer to another thing - Has a matrix with THREE parts
1.) Ground Substance - Liquid (blood) - Solid (bones) - Semi-solid (cartilage and tendons)
2.) Fibers - Collagen (Strength fiber) - Elastic (stretchy) - Reticular (in between strong and stretchy)
3.) Cells - Fibroblast (cells that make fibers) - Macrophage (eat things to protect) - Mast cell (makes histamine)
Areolar - LOOSE CONNECTIVE - Binds skin to muscles and muscle fibers together - Spacey and loose - Wraps/cushions organs - Soft and flexible
Adipose - LOOSE CONNECTIVE - Fat - Cells with vacuoles that store fat - Protects and cushions - Energy storage - Insulation (temp. regulation)
Reticular - LOOSE CONNECTIVE - Makes up structure of your organs - looks like wagyu
Dense connective tissue - Lots of collagen fibers = strong - Not good blood supply - Not much space b/t fibers - Tendons and ligaments - Regular and Irregular
Elastic connective - Stretchy - In b/t vertebrae. walls of vessels, and airways - Looks squiggly - Obv. lots of elastic fiber
Hyaline cartilage - Most abundant type of cartilage - More collagen fibers - Makes up skeleton of fetus - On the end of all our bones (to make them smooth so they slide tgt) - All cartilage will have bubbles (chondrocytes), Hyaline bubbles will be clear
Elastic cartilage - Stretchy - In ears - More elastic fibers - Bubbles will be dark
Fibrocartilage - Thick and dense lots of collagen fibers - In places you need shock absorption ex. spine and knees - Not many bubbles = fibrocartilage
Blood - Ground substance is liquid - Connects everything
Bone - Ground substance is solid - Has osteocytes - For movement and structure - Dark colored
Nervous - Base cell = neurons (communication - Found in brain, nerves, and spine
Skeletal Muscle - Attached to bones - Long and clean fibers - Multiple nuclei and has stripes - VOLUNTARY
Smooth Muscle - No stripes and no long and clean fibers - In tubes (digestive, vessels, etc.) - INVOLUNTARY
Cardiac Muscle - In your heart - Fibers are branched - Connected by Intercalated discs so they all beat tgt. If not = febrillation - INVOLUNTARY
Membranes Sheets of connective tissue
Cutaneous membrane Skin, covers the body
Mucus membrane - Goblet cells - Lines things that reach open air/are openings. Ex. eyes ears, nose etc. - Catches and gets rid of germs
Serous membrane (2 types) 1.) Parietal = lines cavities 2.) Visceral = covers organs
Ectoderm (outside) All 3 make skin - Makes nervous system/tissue
Mesoderm (middle) Makes muscles and connective
Endoderm (inside) Makes inside tissues ex. serous membrane

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.
