Question
Answer
Anatomy   - the structure and shape of the body - derived from the Greek words meaning to cut (tomy) apart (ana)  
🗑
Gross anatomy   Large, easy to see  
🗑
Microscopic anatomy   only seen through microscope  
🗑
Physiology   - is the study of how the body and its parts function - the study of (logy) nature (physio)  
🗑
Atoms (levels of struct. org.)   - chemical level - tiny building blocks of matter that form molecules (water, sugar, proteins)  
🗑
Cells (levels of struct. org.)   molecules associate in specific ways to form microscopic cells "The smallest unit of ALL living things"  
🗑
Tissues (levels of struct. org.)   in complex organisms, groups of similar cells that have a common function form tissues (4 types: epithelial, connective, muscular, neural)  
🗑
Organ (levels of struct. org.)   a structure composed of two or more tissue types that perform a specific function (complex functions become possible)  
🗑
Organ system (levels of struct. org.)   group of organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose (11 systems)  
🗑
Organism/Organismal lever (levels of struct. org.)   highest level of structural organization  
🗑
Integumentary system   -skin, hair, nails (waterproofs, cushions, protects) -excretes waste, regulates temperature, provides pain receptors  
🗑
Skeletal system   - bones, cartilage, ligaments, joints - supports the body - provides framework for skeletal muscles -protects internal organs -stores minerals  
🗑
Muscular system   - muscles allow for movement - mobility of the body - skeletal muscles are attached to bone (different from heart and other hollow organs)  
🗑
Nervous system   - brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory receptors - responds to simuli from internal/external environment  
🗑
Central nervous system (nervous system)   - brain, spinal cord - receives/sends messages from/to the peripheral nervous system  
🗑
Peripheral nervous system (nervous system)   - sensory and effector nerves - sends and receives messages to/from the CNS  
🗑
Endocrine system   - produces and secretes hormones - Endocrine glands include: pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, thymus, pancreas, pineal, ovaries, testes  
🗑
Cardiovascular system   - heart and blood vessels - blood is transport fluid for oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other substances to tissues for exchange - heart is pump that propels blood out and into blood vessels for transport  
🗑
Lymphatic system   - cleanses the blood and houses cells involved in immunity - includes: lymphatic vessels, thoracic duct, lymph nodes, lymphoid organs  
🗑
Respiratory system   - supplies the body with oxygen - structures include: nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs  
🗑
Digestive system   - breaks down food for absorption and distribution - structures include: oral cavity, esophagus, intestines, rectum, anus  
🗑
Urinary/Excratory system   - removes waste and balances electrolytes - structures: kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra  
🗑
reproductive system   - functions to produce offspring - Males: carries sperm to outside of body (testes, scrotum, penis, accessory glands, duct system) - females: uterus provides site for fetus development (ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina)  
🗑
Homeostasis   - homeo=the same, stasis=standing still - the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment even though the external conditions change  
🗑
Three components of homeostatic control systems   Receptor, control center, effector  
🗑
Two types of control mechanisms (homestasis)   - Positive: original stimulus increases - Negative: original stimulus decreases  
🗑
Dorsal cavity   - Back side of the body - Cranial cavity (brain), spinal cavity (spinal cord, vertebral column)  
🗑
Ventral Cavity   - front of the body - thoracic cavity, abdominopelvic cavity (which contains abdominal and pelvic cavities) - these two are separated by diaphragm, which facilitates breathing  
🗑


   

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.
