Anatomy |
|
|
The study of how an organism's parts work together |
Physiology |
|
|
What are the 4 human tissue types |
Epithelial Connective Muscle Nervous |
|
|
This type of tissue covers surfaces Forms glands Always has a "free" surface that is exposed to the inside or outside Lining of intestines, lining of blood vessels |
Epithelial |
|
|
This type of tissue binds other tissues together Cells are embedded within the extracellular matrix Fills spaces, provides flexible and firm structural support |
Connective |
|
|
All animal tissues have this in common |
Extracellular matrix |
|
|
Blood, Bone, Cartilage |
Types of connective tissue |
|
|
Provides movement Contract when electrically stimulated Most attaches to bone The movement helps regulate body temperature Contain Myosin and Actin protein filaments |
Muscle tissue |
|
|
Forms rapid communications network Made of Neurons and Neuroglia (Assist neurons) |
Nervous tissue |
|
|
Detects, Interprets, and responds to stimuli Composed of Neurons and Neurolglia that detect stimuli in the environment or outside the body |
Nervous system |
|
|
Produces hormones and works with the nervous system to control reproduction, response to stress, and metabolism |
Endocrine |
|
|
Consists of bones, ligaments and cartilage |
Skeletal system |
|
|
Skeletal muscles |
Muscular system |
|
|
Dismantle food, absorb molecules, get rid of waste |
Digestive system |
|
|
Transmits food molecules throughout the body |
Circulatory system |
|
|
Exchanges gases with the atmosphere |
Respiratory system |
|
|
Removes water soluble waste and other toxins from the blood |
Urinary system |
|
|
Keeps underlying tissues moist, blocks the entry of microorganisms, and helps regulate body temperature |
Integumentary system |
|
|
Fights infection, injury, and cancer |
Immune system |
|
|
Bridge between immune and circulatory systems. Carries fluid to the lymph nodes where it is cleansed and recirculated |
Lymphatic system |
|
|
Produce/transport sperm and egg cells |
Reproductive system |
|
|
State of internal constancy |
Homeostasis |
|
|
Nervous and Endocrine systems |
Communication |
|
|
Skeletal and Muscular systems |
Support and move the body |
|
|
Digestive, Circulatory, and Respiratory systems |
Help Acquire energy |
|
|
Urinary, Intergumentary, Immune, and Lymphatic systems |
Protect the body |
|
|
This type of cancer normally is in the Epithelial muscle |
Carcinoma |
|
|
This type of Muscle tissue is controlled involuntarily and has no striations |
Smooth muscle |
|
|
This type of muscle tissue controls voluntary movements |
Skeletal muscle |
|
|
These two organs work together to thermoregulate the human body |
Brain and the skin |
|
|
These two organs work together to control gas exchange |
Brain and lungs |
