Anatomy And Physiology

Front 1

Anatomy

Back 1

The study of the body's structures

Front 2

Physiology

Back 2

The study of the body's functions

Front 3

Gross anatomy

Back 3

The study of structures that can be examined without the aid of a microscope.

Front 4

System

Back 4

A group of structures that have one or more common functions

Hint 4

Cardiovascular system, nervous

Front 5

6 characteristics of life

Back 5

1. Organization - interrelationships among parts

2. Metabolism - chemical reactions taking place

3. Responsiveness -sense changes in external or internal environment and adjust

4. Growth - increase in size of number of cells

5. Development- changes an organism undergoes through time from fertilization to death

6. Reproduction - formation of new cells or new organisms.

Front 6

Differentiation

Back 6

Involves changes in a cell's structure and function from an immature, generalized state to a mature, specialized state.

Front 7

Morphogenesis

Back 7

Is there change in shape of tissues, organs, and the entire organism.

Front 8

Homeostasis

Back 8

The existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body.

Hint 8

Body sweats to cool when to hot, shivers when to cold

Front 9

Set point

Back 9

Ideal normal value of a variable

Front 10

Variable

Back 10

Values that can change

Front 11

Negative-feedback

Back 11

Any deviation from the set point is made smaller or is resisted

Hint 11

If body temperature rises, blood nears the surface and sweat glands produce sweat. If body is to cool, blood is directed to deeper regions to conserve heat and the body shivers to generate heat.
