Human Anatomy And Physiology

Front 1

Anatomy

Back 1

Structural makeup of an organism. 2 types= microscopic/fine anatomy; macroscopic/ gross anatomy

Front 2

Physiology

Back 2

Functions of organisms, examines chemical or physical functions that help body function appropriately

Front 3

What is the human body made up of?

Back 3

Cells

Front 4

When cells are grouped together, they are referred to as?

Back 4

Tissues

Front 5

What are tissues arranged into?

Back 5

Tissues are arranged into organs

Front 6

How many organ systems are within the human body?

Back 6

There are 12 organ systems within the human body

Front 7

What are the 12 organ systems within the body?

Back 7

Circulation, respiration, digestion, immunity, hormones, muscular support, coordination, urination, excretion, reproduction, general protection

Front 8

What does the cranial cavity consist of?

Back 8

Surrounded by the school and contains the pituitary gland

Front 9

What does the thoracic cavity consist of?

Back 9

Surrounded by sternum (breastbone) and ribs contains organs such as lungs, heart, trachea, esophagus, and bronchial tubes.

Front 10

Abdominal cavity

Back 10

Abdominal cavity separated by gallbladder, liver, small/large intestine. Abdominal cavity held in place by membrane known as peritoneum

Front 11

Pelvic cavity

Back 11

Protected by pelvic bone and hips. Contains organs such as urinary bladder, urethra, anus, and rectum

Front 12

What is the spinal cavity surrounded by ?

Back 12

The spinal cavity is surrounded by the vertebral column

Front 13

What are the five regions of the spinal cavity?

Back 13

Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal, spinal cord runs through middle of cavity

Front 14

What are the four cavities that human tissues can be grouped into?

Back 14

Muscle, nervous, epithelial, and connective

Front 15

Describe the function of muscles

Back 15

Muscles supports the body, allows it to move, muscles have the ability to contract.

Front 16

What are the three types of muscle tissue?

Back 16

Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac

Front 17

Out of the the three different types of muscle tissue, which one is a voluntary contraction and which is an involuntary contraction?

Back 17

The voluntary contraction is the skeletal muscle tissue. Involuntary contraction is the smooth and cardiac muscle.

Front 18

What is the nervous system in charge of?

Back 18

coordinating sensory information and communication of proper behavioral responses.

Front 19

How does the nervous system communicate throughout the body?

Back 19

action potentials (electrical signal and neurotransmitters)

Front 20

What does epithelium cover?

Back 20

Epithelium covers the external surfaces of organs and lines many of the body cavities.

Front 21

What are the three different shape patterns of the epithelial cells?

Back 21

Columnar, cubodial, and squamous

Front 22

Describe a squamous cell?

Back 22

A squamous cell is a flat shaped cell

Front 23

Describe a cubodial cell?

Back 23

A cube shaped cell

Front 24

Describe a columnar cell

Back 24

Column shaped

Front 25

What are the three different arrangements of patterns of epithelial cells?

Back 25

There are simple, stratified, pseudostratified and transitional

Front 26

Describe connective tissue?

Back 26

supports and connects tissues to organs in the body.

Front 27

What can cells be composed of?

Back 27

gel, liquid, protein fibers, or salt

Front 28

What are the primary fibers in a connective tissue matrix?

Back 28

Collagen (strength) elastin (flexibility) and reticulum (support).

Front 29

What are some examples of connective tissues?

Back 29

Bones,cartilage, ligaments, tendons, blood, and adipose tissue (fat tissue)

Front 30

Describe a transverse plane on the human body?

Back 30

The transverse plane is splitting the body into a top and bottom half. Superior and inferior

Front 31

Describe a coronal plane ?

Back 31

A coronal plane is splitting the human body into a front and back side. Anterior and posterior.

Front 32

Describe a sagittal plane on the human body

Back 32

The sagittal plane is splitting the body into a left and right side.

Front 33

Describe the medial line on the body in terms of direction

Back 33

Medial line is closer to the midline of the body.

Front 34

Describe lateral direction in regards to direction on the body?

Back 34

Farther from the midline of the body (eyes are lateral to the nose)

Front 35

Describe proximal in terms of direction on the body

Back 35

Closer to the body part located near an attachment point. (Elbow is proximal to the wrist)

Front 36

Describe distal in terms of direction on the body.

Back 36

Structure or body part located far from an attachment point ( wrist is distal to the elbow)
