Auscultation

Back 5

Listen to natural sounds made by the body

Front 6

Percussion

Back 6

the examiner taps on the body, feels for abnormal resistance, and listens to the emitted sounds for signs of abnormalities such as pockets of fluid or air.

Front 7

Dissection

Back 7

Carefully cutting and separating tissues to reveal their relationships

Front 8

Cadaver

Back 8

A dead human body, which in many health schools are used as one of the first steps in training students in dissection.

Front 9

Comparative anatomy

Back 9

The study of multiple species in order to examine similarities and differences and analyze evolutionary trends

Front 10

Exploratory surgery

Back 10

Open the body and taking a look inside to see what what's wrong and what could be done about it

Front 11

Medical imaging techniques

Back 11

methods of viewing the insides of the body without surgery

Front 12

Radiology

Back 12

The branch of medicine concerned with imaging

Front 13

Gross anatomy

Back 13

Structure that can be seen with the naked eye-whether by surface observation, radiology, or dissection

Front 14

Histology

Back 14

The study of tissue

Front 15

Histopathology

Back 15

Is the microscopic examination of tissues 4 signs of disease

Front 16

Cytology

Back 16

The study of structure and function of individual cells

Front 17

Ultrastructure

Back 17

refers to fine detail, down 2 the molecular level, revealed by the electron microscope.

Front 18

Comparative physiology

Back 18

The study of how different species have solved problems of life such as water balance , respiration , and reproduction.

Front 19

cell

Back 19

Are the smallest units of an organism that carry out all the basic functions of life.

Front 20

Tissue

Back 20

A mass of similar cells and cell products that forms a discrete region of an organ performs a specific function .

Front 21

Organelles

Back 21

are microscopic structures in a cell that carry out its individual functions

Front 22

Molecules

Back 22

Composed organelles and cellular components

Front 23

atoms

Back 23

The smallest particles with unique chemical identities

Front 24

Reductionism

Back 24

The theory that a large, complex system such as the human body can be understood by studying its simpler components

Front 25

Holism

Back 25

Is the complementary theory there are "emergent properties" of the whole organism that cannot be predicted from the properties of its separate parts-human beings are more than the sum of their parts

Front 26

organization

Back 26

Living things exhibit a far higher level of organization than the nonliving living world around them. They spend a great deal of energy to maintain order, and a breakdown in this order is a company by disease and often death.

Front 27

cellular composition

Back 27

Living matter is always compartmentalized into one or more cells.

Front 28

Metabolism

Back 28

Is the sum of all internal chemical change in livong things.

Front 29

Homeostasis

Back 29

Although the environment around an organism changes, the organism maintains will to be stable internal conditions .

Front 30

Development

Back 30

Any change in form or function over the lifetime of an organism.

Front 31

differentiation

Back 31

The transformation Assos with no specialized function into cells that are committed to a particular task.

Front 32

Gross

Back 32

An increase in size.

Front 33

Reproduction

Back 33

All living organisms can produce copies of themselves that's passing their genes on to new yogurt containers-their offspring.

Front 34

Evolution

Back 34

all living species exhibit genetic change from generation to generation and therefore evolve.

Front 35

Vasoconstriction

Back 35

A narrowing of the blood vessels in the skin, which serves to retain warm blood deeper in your body and reduce heat loss.

Front 36

Receptor

Back 36

Is a structure that senses a change in the body.

Front 37

Effector

Back 37

The cell or organ that carries out the final corrective action.

Front 38

Positive feedback

Back 38

self-applying cycle in which physiological change leads to even greater change in the same direction, rather than producing the corrective effects of negative feedback.

Front 39

Gradient

Back 39

a difference in chemical concentration, electrical charge, physical pressure, temperature, or other variable between one point and another point.

Front 40

cell theory

Back 40

All structure and function result from the activities of cells.

Front 41

Sagittal plane

Back 41

Passes vertically through the body or an organ and divides it into right and last portions.

Front 42

Median plane

Back 42

The sagittal plane that divides the body organs into equal halves.

Front 43

Frontal plane

Back 43

Also extend vertically, but it is perpendicular to the sagittal plane and divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.

Front 44

Transverse plane

Back 44

Also known as a horizontal plane, passes across the body or an organ perpendicular 2 access; it defeats the BRI or organ into superior and inferior portions.
