what is the study of many structures that make up the body and how those structures realate to eachother
Anatomy
study of the functions of the body's structures
Physiology
the state of relative stability of the body's internal environment
Homeostasis
superior
tword the head
inferior
tword the feet
anterior
tword the front of the body
posterior
tword the back of the body
medial
tword the back of he body
lateral
Away from the midline of the body
proximal
tword the trunk of the body or attached appendage
distal
away from the trunk of the body or attached appendage
superficial
nearer to the surface of the body
deep
farther form the suface of the body
medullary
the inner region
cortical
the outer region
order working units in the body from smallest to largest
atoms, elements, compounds, organelles,cells, tissue, organs, organ system
list the most commonly found elements in living things
Hydrogen, Carbon, Phosporus, Sulfur, Oxygen, Nitrogen
list the three organic compound and their purpose
carbohydrate-used for chemical energy storage, Lipid-used for long'term chemical energy storage, protein-used for building material in the cell or helps important metabolic reactions
nucleic acid-stores genetic information (DNA, RNA)
what is the cell theory
1. All organisms are made of one or more cells
2. The cell is the smallest unit retaining the properties of life
3.Life continues by the growth and division of single cells
4. An organism as a whole can be understood through the collective activities and ineractions of its cells
3 things all cells have in common
Plasma membrane, Chromatin area or DNA, cytoplasm
difference between active and passive transport
Active-energy used, molecules move from an area of low concentration to and area of high concentration
Passive-no energy needed, Molecules move from an area of high concentratioln to an area of low concentration until equal
define osmosis
moviment of water through diffusion
diffusion
ions move through a semipermeable membrane
dialysis
movement of dissolved particles (solutes) in water
isotonic solution
solution in which dissolved substance in solution is equal
what is a hypotonic solution
create a low concentration of water inside cell and causes cells membrane to burst as water moves in
what is a hypertonic solution
creatis a high concentration of water inside cell and causes cell to shrivel
endocytosis
engulfing of materials inside the cell
exocytosis
expelling materials outside of cell
what is cystic fibrosis
imparment of chloride ion pump resulting in production of thick salty sweat and mucus
nucleus
houses genetic material
nuclear envelope
controls what enters or exits the nucleus
nucleolus
dense region of nuclear material
cytoplasm
gel-like substance locatoed between the plasma membrane and the nucleus
cytoskeleton
framework of cell made of microtubules
lysosome
double membrane organelle filled with digestive enzymes
endoplasmic reticulum
network of connecting sacs and canals through which organic compouds are stored
rough er
protein
smooth er
carbs and lipids
ribosomes
tiny particles that assemble proteins that can be found in the cytoplasm or rough er
vesicle
fluid filled sacs that transport material
Golgi apparatus
tiny, flattened sacs stacked upon eachother that package, and modify materlas sent from the er
vacuole
fluid filled membrane sacs used for storage
mitochondrion
double membrane organelle where chemical reacthons occur to form energy for the cell (ATP0
cilia and flagella
help with movement of a cell or materials over a cell
steps to processing a food particle in an animal cell
1. Cell transport brings food in through plasma membrane 2. Lysosome break food down further 3.ER sorts and protein goes to rough and lipids/carbs go to smooth 4.Vesicle transports food to golgi body which packages and modifys it 5.stored in vacuole or used right away by mitochondrion
histology
study of types of tissue
4 tissue types
connective, epithelial, nerve, muscle
epithelial tissue
covers the body and lines many parts usually compact with little inertcellular material or matrix
connecive tissue
abundance of variety of forms, but all include matrix of intercellular material
Nerve tissue
contains nerve cells that rapidly commuinicate between body structures to control body functions
muscle tissue
contain specially designed cells wiht a high degreeof contractibility
integumentary system includes:
skin and appendages
skeletal system includes:
bones and joints
muscle system includes:
includes muscles
Nervous system includes
brain, spinal cord and nerves
senses system includes
5 senses and sensory organs
digestive system
organs that break down food
respiratory system
nose breathing tubes lungs
cardiovascular system
heart blood, blood vessels
integumentary system includes
nails sweat glands oil glands hair
primary functions of integumentary system
protects against fluid loss, invaders, uv rays, sense of touch, temperature regulation, waste elimination and produces vitamin D
skin is made of ______ tissue
epithelial tissue
how epithilial tissue is classified
shape of cells number of layers of cells
another term for skin
cutaneous membrane
what is a serous membrane
membranes found in intermal enclosed cavities
membrane covering thoracic cavity
pleura
membrane covering abdominal cavity
peritoneum
two layers of serous membranes
pariel (outer) visceral (inner)
three main layers of skin
epidermis dermis, hypodermis
epidermis has 5 layers what are they? (deepest to outermost)
Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum
what 4 things are located in the dermis
nerves, blood vessels, hair follicle, and glands
parallel row of peg-like projections creating and upward raisof epidermis forming finger prints
dermal papillae
what is the main thing in the hypodermis
fatty tissue to absorb pressure on the skin
the arrector pilli creates what on the skin
goosebumps by raising the hair
what does the subaceous gland produce
oil
caused by separation of epidermis and dermis creating space for fluid to fill
