Exploring Anatomy
Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Anatomy | The study of the body, all it's parts, and how it's put together |
| Physiology | The study of how all the parts of the body work |
| Cadaver | Dead human body, usually used for dissection |
| Spontaneous generation | The idea that life could come from non-living things |
| Cells (definition) | The basic building blocks of life |
| Hippocrates | Ancient Greek who is considered "the Father of Modern Medicine" |
| Aristotle | Greek philosopher and scientist who supported the idea of spontaneous generation |
| Galen | Roman doctor for gladiators; dissected animals to help him understand anatomy better |
| Andreas Vesalius | anatomy professor who dissected cadavers |
| Anton van Leeuwenhoek | built a microscope that magnified objects up to 200x; known as the “Father of microbiology” |
| Cell membrane (function) | surrounds the cell and determines what can enter and exit the cell (like the wall of a city) |
| Cytoplasm (function) | the jelly-like substance that the organelles float in |
| Mitochondria (function) | produces energy for the cell (like the power plant of a city) |
| Lysosomes (function) | break down substances such as: 1) invaders, 2)old organelles, and 3) large chemicals |
| Golgi bodies (function) | package and store proteins and fats |
| Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (function) | transports substances throughout the cell |
| Rough endoplasmic reticulum (function) | transports substances throughout the cell; contains ribosomes |
| Ribosomes (function) | make proteins |
| Centrioles (function) | help the cell to reproduce for growth or repair |
| Nucleus (function) | the control center of the cell; contains DNA, RNA, and the nucleolus |
| Nuclear membrane (function) | surrounds the nucleus; determines what can enter and exit the nucleus |
| Nucleolus (function) | makes ribosomes |
| DNA stands for | deoxyribonucleic acid |
| The main job of DNA | is to tell the cell what proteins to make and how to do it (remember, proteins control your body) |
| DNA Contains | all the information about a person (like a book) |
| Nucleotides (letters) make up | genes (words) |
| Genes (words)make up | DNA (book) |
| DNA is packed into | chromosomes (different volumes of a series) |
| Each human cell has | 46 chromosomes |
| Everyone’s DNA is | different (except identical twins) |
| Almost every cell in your body has | the same DNA |
| RNA stands for | ribonucleic acid |
| RNA is | a messenger that copies the information from the DNA in the nucleus and brings it out to the ribosomes |
| Different cells need (hint - energy) | different amounts of energy; for example muscle cells have more mitochondria than skin cells |
| Each cell in your body was copied from _______ | the original cell that made you. |
| Cells begin to differentiate by (when?) | the first week of life (they form different tissues). |
| What are the four main tissue types? | Nervous, Muscular, Connective, Eppithelial |
| Nervous tissue (examples) | brain, spinal cord, nerves |
| Muscular tissue (examples) | muscles |
| Connective tissue (examples) | connects things |
| Epithelial tissue (examples) | skin, lining of many organs |
| How many organ systems does the body have? | 11 |
