General Anatomy And Physiology

Front 1

The structure of the human body structures that can be seen with the naked eye and how the body parts are organized: it is the science of the structure of organisms or of their parts.

Back 1

Anatomy

Front 2

The study of the functions and activities performed by the body structures.

Back 3

The study of.

Front 4

also known as microscopic anatomy, is the study of structures found in living tissues.

Histology

Front 5

basic units of all living things, from bacteria to plants to animals, including human beings.

Back 5

Cells

Front 6

a colorless jelly-like substance found inside cells in which food and elements such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and water are present

Back 6

Protoplasm

Front 7

the dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell: it plays an important part in cell reproduction and metabolism.

Back 7

nucleus

Front 8

the protoplasm of the cell, except for the protoplasm in the nucleus, that surrounds the nucleus: it is the watery fluid that cells need for growth, reproduction, and self repair.

Back 8

cytoplasm

Front 9

the cell part that encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble substances to enter and leave the cell.

Back 9

cell membrane

Front 10

the usual process of cell reproduction of human tissues that occurs when the cell divides into two more identical cells called daughter cells.

Back 10

mitosis

Front 11

structures in a cell near the nucleus that move to each side during the mitosis process to help divide the cell.

Back 11

centrioles

Front 12

chemical process that takes place in living organisms, through which the ells are nourished and carry out their activities.

Back 12

Metabolism

Front 13

How many phases does metabolism have and what are they?

Back 13

Two, anabolism and catabolism

Front 14

constructive metabolism, the process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones.

Back 14

anabolism

Front 15

phase of metabolism that involves the breaking down of complex compounds within the cells into smaller ones.

Back 15

catabolism

Front 16

collection of smaller cells that perform a particular function.

Back 16

tissue

Front 17

fibrous tissue that bands together, protects, and supports the various parts of the body.

What does adipose tissue do?

Back 19

It gives the body smoothness and contour.

protective covering on body surfaces, such as skin, mucous membranes, the tissue inside the mouth,the lining of the heart, digestive and respiratory organs, and the glands.

Back 20

epithelial tissue

Front 21

connects and moves various parts of the body.

Back 21

muscle tissue

Front 22

Back 22

nerve tissue

Front 23

structures composed of specialized tissues designed to perform specific functions in plants and animals.
