Question | Answer |
Integumentary System | Provides protection, regulates temperature, reduces water loss, and produces vitamin D precursors. |
Organism Level | Any single living thing. |
Organ System Level | Group of organs functioning together to serve common function. |
Organ Level | One or more tissues functioning together. |
Tissue Level | Group of similar cells and materials surrounding them. |
Cell Level | A cell and its organelles (mitochondria). |
Chemical Level | Interaction of atoms or molecules (DNA,H2O) |
Excercise Physiology | Changes in structure and function caused by exercise. |
Pathology | Structural and functional changes caused by disease Ex:Structures of air sacs degrade our ability/function to jog 5 miles is change. |
Cardiovascular | The heart and blood vessels. |
Neurophysiology | Focus on the nervous system. |
Cell Physiology | Process within the cells. |
Histology | Study of tissue; The collection of cells. |
Body positions | Supine: Lying face upwardProne: Lying face downward |
Developement | Changes in an organism over time.Differentiation: Cells change from general to specific. One type of cell can lead to many different types of blood cells.Morphogenesis: Change in shape of tissue, organs, or organism. |
Growth | Increase in size and or number of cells. |
Anatomical Position | Body erect, face forward, feet together, palms face forward. |
Microscopic | Structures seen with the microscope. |
Cytology | Cellular anatomy; Parts making up a single cell. |
Systemic | Studied system by system (circulatory). |
Regional Anatomy | Studies area by ares (head, abdomen, arms). |
Surface | External form and relation to deeper structures. (See or feel/palpated the sternum-heart is beneath it). |
Response | Produced by the effector changing the variable back to set point. |
Stimulus | Deviation from the set point, detected by the receptor. |
Reproduction | Formation of new cells or new organisms. |
Responsiveness | Ability to sense changes/stimuli and adjust if needed. |
Metabolism | Life invloves chemical reactions. |
Organization | State in which the parts are not randomly situated but organizred to maximize function, parts must interact. |
Sagittal | Seperates Left and Right parts of the body. |
Coronal | Divides body into posterior & anterior sections "PAC". |
Transverse | Divides body into superior and inferior sections "SIT". |
Oblique | "Odd" at angle other than 90 or 0 degree. |
Longitudinal | Cut along the length of an organ. |
Cross/Transverse | Cut at right angle to length of the organ. |
Diaphram | A muscle that divides the body cavity into THERACTIC and ABDOMINOPELVIC cavities. |
Mediastinum | Contains all structures of the thorack cavity except the lungs, it divides the lungs. |
Serous Membranes | Cover the organs inside cavities but also lines the cavity themselves. |
Pericardium | Refers to Heart. |
Pleura | Refers to lungs. |
Peritoneum | Refers to abdominopelvic cavity. |
Matter | Anything that occupies space and has mass. |
Mass | The amount of matter in an object. |
Weight | The gravitational force acting on an object of a given mass. |
Element | The simplest type of matter with unique chemical properties; composed of atoms of only one kind. (H or O) |
Atom | Smallest particles of an element that has chemical characteristics of that element. |
Neutrons | No electrical charge. |
Protons | One positive charge. |
Electrons | One negative charge,orbit nucleus. |
Nucleus | Formed by protons and neutrons. |
Atomic Number | Equals to number of protons (+) in each atom, which is equal to the number of electrons. |
Mass Number | Number of protons (+) plus number of neutrons. |
Isotopes | Two or more forms of same element with same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.Ex: there are 3 types of hydrogen, denoted by using symbol of element preceded by mass number as 1H,2H,3H. |
Atomic Mass | Average mass of naturally occurring isotopes. |
Radioactive Isotopes | Forms of atoms that emit radioactivity such as gamma rays, which can than be measured. -Used clinically and in research. |
Intramolecular bonding | Occurs when outermose electrons are either shared with or transferred to another atom. |
Ionic Bonding | Atoms exchange electrons, one lost it and other gained it. |
Covalent Bonding | Two or more atoms share electron pairs. |
Ion | An atom loses or gains electrons and becomes charged. (+/-) |
Cation | Positively charged ion. |
Anion | Negatively charged ion. |
What is the symbol for Phosphate? | PO |
What is the symbol for Magnesium? | Mg |
What is the symbol for Iodide? | I |
What is the symbol for calcium? | Ca |
Significance of Phosphate? | Part of bones and teeth, energy exchange, acid-base balance. |
Significance of Magnesium? | Necessary for enzymes. |
Significance of Iodide? | Present in thyroid hormones. |
Significance of calcium? | Part of bones and teeth, blood clotting, muscle contraction, release os neurotransmitters. |
Molecules | 2 or more atoms chemically combined to form an independent unit.Ex: (H2) |
Compound | A substance/molecule composed of 2 or more different types of atoms chemically combined.Ex: (H2O) |
Intermolecular forces | Forces between molecules. |
Ionic Bond | A complete transfer of electrons between two atoms results in seperate positively charged and negatively charged ions. |
Polar Covalent Bond | An unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms results in a slight positive charge on one side of the molecule and slight negative charge on the other side of the molecule. |
Hydrogen Bond | The attraction of oppositely charged ends of one polar molecule to another polar molecule holds molecules or parts of molecules together. |
Solubility | Ability of one substance to dissolve in another.Ex: Sugar or salt dissolves in water. |
Electrolyte | Solutions made by the dissociation of cations (+) and anions (-) in water. |
Nonelectrolytes | Solutions made by molecules that dissolve in water, but do not dissociate; do not conduct eletricity. |
Subdivision of the abdomen | Right hypochondriac regionRight lumbar regionRight iliac regionEpigastric regionUmbilical regionHypogastric regionLeft hypochondriac regionLeft lumbar regionLeft iliac region |
Chemical Reactions | Atoms, ions, molecules or compounds interact to form or break chemical bonds. |
Reactants | Substances that enter into a chemical reaction. |
Products | Substances that result from the reaction. |
