        Help!  

Term
Definition
Anatomy   Study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another  
🗑
Physiology   Study of the function of body parts, how they work to carry out life sustaining activities  
🗑
Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy   Study of large, Visible Structures  
🗑
Regional Anatomy   Looks at all structured in a particular area of the body  
🗑
System Anatomy   Looks at just one system  
🗑
Surface Anatomy   looks at internal structured as they relate to overlying skin  
🗑
Microscopic Anatomy   Deals with structures to small to be seen by naked eye  
🗑
Developmental Anatomy   Studies anatomical and physiological development through out life  
🗑
Cytology   Microscopic study of cells  
🗑
Histology   Microscopic study of tissues  
🗑
Chemical Level   Atoms, Molecules and Organelles  
🗑
Cellular Level   Single Cell  
🗑
Tissue Level   Group of similar cells  
🗑
Organ Level   Contains at least 2 types of tissues  
🗑
Organ System Level   Organs that work together  
🗑
Organismal Level   all organ systems combined to make the whole organism  
🗑
Maintaining Boundaries   Separation between internal and external environments must exist.  
🗑
Movement   Of body parts Via skeletal muscles also cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.  
🗑
Contractilly   Movement at the cellular level (fibers)  
🗑
Responsiveness   Ability to sense and respond to stimuli  
🗑
Digestion   Breakdown of ingested foodstuffs followed by absorption of simple molecules into blood.  
🗑
Metabolism   All chemical reactions that occur in body cells. Sum of all catabolism and anabolism  
🗑
Excretion   Removal of wastes from metabolism and digestion  
🗑
Reproduction   At a cellular level involves division of cell for growth or repair, organismal level is the production of off spring.  
🗑
Integumentary System   Forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues from injury. Synthesizes Vitamin D and houses cutaneous receptors and sweat and oil glands  
🗑
Skeletal System   Protects and supports body organs and provides framework the muscles use to cause movement. Blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals like calcium  
🗑
Muscular System   Allows manipulation of the environment locomotion and facial expression. Maintains posture and produces heat.  
🗑
Nervous System   As the Fast Acting control system of the body it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.  
🗑
Endocrine System   Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction and nutrient use by body cells.  
🗑
Cardiovascular System   Blood vessels transport blood which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, waste etc  
🗑
Lymphatic System   Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood. Disposes of derbies in the lymphatic system. Houses white blood cells involved in immunity.  
🗑
Respiratory System   Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.  
🗑
Digestive System   Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells.  
🗑
Urniary System   Excretes nitrogenous wastes from the body. regulates water, electrolyte and acid base balance of the blood.  
🗑
Male Reproductive System   Testes produce sperm and male sex hormone and male ducts and glands aid in delivery of sperm to the female reproductive tract.  
🗑
Female Reproductive System   Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones. The remaining female structure serves as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus.  
🗑
Survival Needs   Nutrients, Oxygen, Water, Temp, and Appropriate Atmospheric Pressure.  
🗑
Homeostasis   Steady state of the body maintains internally despite continuous changes in environment. Always readjusting. Contributions of all organ systems.  
🗑
Homeostatic Controls   Involves 3 Components Receptor, Control Center, and Effector.  
🗑
Receptor   Affective, monitors environment and responds to stimuli  
🗑
Control Center   Determines which variables is maintained. Receives output from control.  
🗑
Effector   Receives output from control. Provides the means to respond, either reduces or enhances stimuli  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
