Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

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  
🗑


   

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.
