Cutting
The parts of the body, "What is it made of?"
Anatomy
The functions of the body parts, "How does it work?"
Physiology
The requirements for human life to exist are (5):
Water (metabolic processes), Food (provide organism with nutrients to make ATP), Oxygen (usedd to release energy from nutrients), Heat (controls reaction rate), Pressure (allows us to breathe, keeps blood pumping)
What are the characteristics of life? (10):
Movement, Responsiveness, Growth, Reproduction, Respiration, Digestion, Absorption, Circulation, Assimilation, Excretion
This is the maintaining of a stable internal environment
Homeostasis
The three components of a homostatic mechanism are;
Receptors, a control center, effectors
The process of a homostatic mechanism is;
A stimulus/change in environment occurs. The stimulus is received in the receptors. The receptors send a signal to the control center. The effectors respond to the stimulus (eg. sweat glands excrete). Then a response occurs to restore your body to a normal state.
The portion of the body that contains the head, neck, trunk, and appendicular portion (includes upper and lower limbs) is called the:
Axial portion
The cavity of the body that houses the brain
Cranial cavity
The cavity of the body that contains the spinal cord is the:
Vertebral column
The cavity of the body that contains the lungs and is separated from the abdominopelvic cavity is called the:
Thoric cavity
The muscle that separates the thoric cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity is the:
Diaphragm
The region between the lungs that contains the heart, esophagus, trachaea, and the thymus is called the:
Mediastinum

The abdominal cavity
The portion of the abdominopelvic cavity that houses the end of the large intestine, the urinary bladder, and internal reproductive organs is the:
Pelvic cavity
This cavity of the head contains the teeth and tongue
Oral cavity
This cavity of the head is located within the nose and divides nose using the septum. This includes the sinuses.
Nasal cavity
These cavity of the face contains the eyes, skeletal muscles, and nerves
Orbital cavities
These line the walls of the thoric and abdonimopelvic cavities. They make fluid that exists in the cavities within the body. This membrane covers the organs.
Serous membrane
The serous membrane that surrounds the entire thoric cavity is called:
Parietal Pleura
The serous membrane that folds back to cover the lungs is called the:
Visceral pleura
These two things are stuck together to allow you to breathe. When you have a "collapsed lung", it means that these two are no longer attached, and there is air trapped in the cavity.
Visceral Pleura and Pareital Pleura
This term means "around the heart"
Pericardia
This lines the walls of the abdominopelvic cavity:
Parietal Peritoneum
This covers most of the organs in the abdominopelvic cavity
Visceral peritoneum
This is a comparative term to indicate that a body part is above another.
Superior
This is a comparative term to indicate that a body part is below another.
Inferior
This is a term meaning "toward the front" of the body
Anterior/Ventral
This is a term meaning "toward the back" of the body
Posterior/Dorsal
This refers to an imaginary midline that divides the body into halves. This compares one body part as being closer to the middle than another part.
Medial
This means toward the exterior of the body, away from the midline.
Lateral
This refers to paired structures, one on each side.
Bilateral
This refers to structures on the same side of the body, like the right lung and right kidney.
Ipsilateral
This refers to structures on opposite sides of the body, like the kidneys.
Contralateral
This refers to a body part being closer to the point of attachment, such as a joint or tube.
Proximal
This refers to a body part being farther away from the point of attachment, such as a joint or tube.
Distal
This means near the surface
Superficial
This means within the body, or closer to the body's core
Deep
This refers to a lengthwise cut that divides the body into left and right along the midline.
Sagittal
A sagittal cut down the middle of the body is called:
Midsagittal
A sagittal cut toward one side of the body is called
Parasagittal
A horizontal cut that divides the body into superior and inferior portions
Transverse
A cut that divides the body into anterior and posterior portions

Having power
Anything that has weight and takes up space
Matter
These are major elements of the body and they make up 99% of the body
C, H, O, N, Ca, P, K, S, Cl, Na, Mg
Some trace elements are:
Co, Cu, Fl, I, Fe
These act as enzyme cofactors in the body, speeding up reactions
Trace elements
These are atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons as their original form, but a different number of neutrons
Isotopes
When atoms are bonded equally, they are:
Nonpolar
When the pull toward one side of a compound is stronger than another, this is considered to be:
Polar
If Na loses an electron to Cl, you are left with:
Na+ and Cl-
Substances that release ions in water are called:
Electrolytes
This makes water a good solvent:
Polarity
The body has approximately ___ liters of water at any given time
35-40
Water molecules are bonded to each other through ___ bonds. These are also the bonds that hold DNA together, and are broken when conditions are not ideal. (Temperature too hot, DNA fall apart)
Hydrogen bonds
The substances you begin a chemical reaction with:
Reactants
The substances formed after a chemical reaction
Products
These substances release H+ ions
Acids
These substances release OH-, or other things that bond with H+
Bases
This person discovered the concept of pH
Sorin Sorenson
Water has a pH of:
7
Urine has a pH of:
5
Stomach acid has a pH of:
2
Milk of Magnesia has a pH of:
10.5
Household Ammonia has a pH of:
11.5
Optimal human body pH is:
7.3-7.5
Body systems that maintain pH are:
The urinary system and respiratory system
The urinary system expels this ion from the body:
H+
The respiratory system expels this substance from the body:
CO2
These are abundant in body fluids and are the source of necessary ions.
Inorganic Salts
Inorganic salts are regularly gained and lost by body but must be present in certain concentrations to maintain homeostasis. This is called:
Electrolyte Balance
These substances provide much of the energy that the cells require; supply material to build cell structures; stored as energy reserves.
Carbohydrates
These are simple carbohydrates
Sugars
These are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They are made of fatty acids and glycerols.
Lipids
If a lipid has single-bonded carbons, they are ___ fats.
Saturated
If a lipid has double bonded, they are ___ fats
Unsaturated
Fatty acids and glycerol unite so that each glycerol molecule binds to three fatty acid chains forming a
Triglyceride
