Sagittal
Seperates L & R 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 degrees.
Longitudinal
Cut along the length of an organ
Cross/Transverse
Cut at right angle to length of the organ
Diaphragm
A muscle that divides the body cavity into thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
Mediastinum
Contains all structures of the thoracic cavity except the lungs, it divides the lungs.
Includes the esophagus, trachea, thymus, heart
Abdominopelvic Cavity
Includes the Abdominal cavitiy and the Pelvic cavity
Serous Membranes
-Cover the organs inside cavities but also lines the cavity themselves.
Visceral Membrane
Inner wall of the membrane closes to the organ
Parietal Membrane
Outer wall of the membrane furtherest away from the organ
Pericardium
Serous membrane of the heart
Pleura
Serous membrane of the lungs
Peritoneum
Serous membrane of the abdonminopelvic cavity
Physiology
The study of how living organisms function including such processes as nutrition, movement, and reproduction.
Anatomy
is a branch of biology and medicine that is the consideration of the structure of living things.
Pathology
he study of the essential nature of diseases and especially of the structural and functional changes produced by them
Cytology
The scientific study of the formation, structure, and function of cells
Name the 11 body systems
Cardiovascular
Digestive
Endocrine
Excretory
Immune
Muscular
Nervous
Reproductive
Respiratory
Skeletal
Homeostasis
The process by which the internal systems of the body maintain a balance, despite external conditions
Name two types of effector organs
Muscles and glands
Anterior
In front of, front
Posterior
After, behind, following, toward the rear
Distal
Away from, farther from the origin
Proximal
Near, closer to the origin
Dorsal
Near the upper surface, toward the back
Ventral
Toward the bottom, toward the belly
Superior
Above, over
Inferior
Below, under
Lateral
Toward the side, away from the mid-line
Medial
Toward the mid-line, middle, away from the side
Rostral
Toward the front
Caudal
Toward the back, toward the tail
Lateral Plane or Sagittal Plane
This plane divides the body into right and left regions.
Frontal Plane or Coronal Plane
This plane divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) regions.
Transverse Plane
This plane divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) regions.
Intramolecular bonding
Occurs when outermost electrons are either shared with or transfered to another atom
Ionic Bonding
Electrovalent bonding. Atoms exchange electrons. One gains another loses. Attracted due to opposing charge.
Covalent Bonding
Two or more atoms sharing electron pairs
Polar Covalent
An unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms resulting in a slight + charge on one side of the molecule and a slight - charge on the other side.
Hyrdogen Bond
A weak bond involving the sharing of an electron with a hydrogen atom; hydrogen bonds are important in the specificity of base pairing in nucleic acids and in the determination of protein shape.
Ion
An atom or group of atoms that acquire a charge by the gain or loss of electrons
Cation
Positively charged atoms
Anion
Negatively charged atoms
Purpose of Phosphate
(K) Part of bone and teeth, energy exchange, acid-base balance
Purpose of Magnesium in the body
Necessary for enzymes
Purpose of Iodide
Present in thyroid hormones
Purpose of Calcium in the body
Part of bones and teeth, blood clotting, muscle contractions, release of neurotransmitters
Molecules
Two or more atoms chemically joined together
Compound
Two or more DIFFERENT atoms chemically joined together.
All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.
Intermolecular Force
Weak force between molecules
Occurs when partial positive H of one moleecule is attracted to partial (-) of O, N, F of another molecule
Electrolyte
Dissociation of an ionic compound in water.
Non-electrolytes
Solutions made by molecules that dissolve in water, but do not dissociate, do not conduct electricity
Reactants
Substance that enters into a chemical reaction
Products
Substance that results from a reaction
Anabolic Reaction
Synthesizing, building, making compounds
Catabolic
Break down, decomposition of of compounds. Energy released.
Metabolism
Sum of all anabolic and catabolic reactions in the body
Dehydration
Reaction where water is a product
Hydrolysis
Reaction where water is split into two parts that contribute to the formation of the products
Oxidation and Reduction
Oxidation: Loss of an electron
Reduction: Gain of an electron
Potential Energy
Energy that is stored that could do work if it was released. Chemical bond
Kinetic Energy
Energy in motion. Does work and moves matter.
Mechanical Energy
Energy resulting from the postion or movement of objects
What increases the rate of a reaction
Temperature
Concentration of reactant
Catalyst
