Question
Answer
Describe Anatomy   The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another. they can be felt, seen and examined.  
🗑
Describe Physiology   Concerns the functioning of the body's structural machinery and how the parts of the body work.  
🗑
What is Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy   Structures studied with out a microscope  
🗑
What is Surface Anatomy   The study of morphology and markings of the surface of the body  
🗑
What is Regional anatomy   It is concerned with a specific area of the body.  
🗑
What is Microscopic Anatomy   The structures studied with a microscope.  
🗑
Name in order of increasing complexity the levels of structural organisation.   Chemical Level (Atoms & Molecules)Cellular Level (Made up of Molecules)Tissue Level (Consists of simular types of cells)Organ Level (different types of Tissues)Organ System LevelOrganismal Level (Whole Body)  
🗑
Describe the Integumentary System   Skin - keeps the organs from drying out Forms the external cover  
🗑
Describe the Skeletal System   Bones - Protects and Supports the Body Organs  
🗑
Describe the Muscular System   Creates movement by using bones to creat locomotion, maintains posture and produces heat.  
🗑
Describe the Nervous System   Fast acting control system, responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.  
🗑
Describe the Endocrine System   Glands Screte hormones that regulate processes like growth and reproduction.  
🗑
Describe the Cardiovascular System   Blood Vessels transport blood that carries oxygen nutrients and waste.  
🗑
Describe the Lymphatic System   Houses white blood cells involved in immunity.  
🗑
Describe the Respiratory System   Lungs - Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.  
🗑
Describe the Digestive System   Breaks down food into absorable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells  
🗑
Describe the Urinary System   Eliminates nitrogens wastes from the body, regulates water electroyte and acid base balance from the blood.  
🗑
Describe the Reproductive System   Over function is production of offspring.  
🗑
Name the body systems   Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Endocrine Cardiovascular Lymphatic Respiratory Digestive Urinary Reproductive  
🗑
What is Homeostatis   the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable state internally when there is continuous change on the outside.  
🗑
Name the General Control Mechanisms   Stimulus - pickes up changes in VariablesReceptors - detect changes sends response via afferent pathway to Control CentreControl center sets "set point" sends message via efferent pathway.Effector picks up respose and feeds back to stimulus.  
🗑
Positive Feedback   Control infrequent events eg damage to lining of blood vessel  
🗑
Negative Feedback   Regular controls where output decreases or shuts off original stimulus and works "opposite"the initial change. eg heating system  
🗑
Homeostatic Imbalance   most disease is regarded as disturbance of Homeostatic  
🗑
Maintenance of boundaries   body keeps the outside via Integumentary system protected from the internal organs etc  
🗑
Movement   Skeletal system propels the body Movement via the internal organs  
🗑
Metabolism   Sum total of all chemical reactions  
🗑
Excretion   Process of removing wastes from the body.  
🗑
Survival needs of the body   Nutients, Oxygen, Water body Temp and Atmospheric preasure  
🗑
