Human Anatomy And Physiology W1

Front 1

Distal

Back 1

Is the opposite of proximal. It means that a particular body part is farther from a point of attachments to the trunk than another body part is. (The fingers are distal to the wrist.)

Front 2

Cell

Back 2

The basic unit of structure and function is a cell.

Front 3

Tissue

Front 4

Organ

Front 5

Organism

Back 5

Organ systems make up an Organism, which is a living thing.

Front 6

Organalles

Back 6

Are composed of aggregates of macromolecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Front 7

Oxygen

Back 7

Is a gas that makes up about one-fifth of ordinary air. It is used to release energy from food substances. This energy, in turn, drives metabolic processes.

Front 8

Heat

Back 8

Is a form of energy. It is a product of metabolic reactions, and the degree of hear present partly determines the rate at which these reactions occur.

Front 9

Pressure

Back 9

Is an application on force to something.

Front 10

Atmospheric Pressure

Back 10

Is the force on the outside of the body due to the weigh of air above

Front 11

Movement

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 11

Change in position of the body or of a body part; motion of an internal organ.

Front 12

Responsiveness

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 12

Reaction to a change inside or outside the body

Front 13

Growth

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 13

Increase in body size without change in shape

Front 14

Reproduction

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 14

Production of new organisms and new cells

Front 15

Respiration

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 15

Obtaining oxygen, removing carbon dioxide, and releasing energy from foods (some forms of life do not use oxygen in respiration.)

Front 16

Digestion

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 16

Breakdown of food substances into simpler forms that can be absorbed and used.

Front 17

Absorption

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 17

Passage of substances through membranes and into body fluids.

Front 18

Circulation

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 18

Movement of substances in body fluids

Front 19

Assimilation

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 19

Changing absorbed substances into chemically different forms

Front 20

Excretion

(Characteristics of Life)

Back 20

Removal of wastes produced by metabolic reactions

Front 21

Water

(Requirements of Organisms)

Back 21

Is the most important abundant chemical in the body

Front 22

Foods

(Requirements of Organisms)

Back 22

Are substances that provide the body with necessary chemicals (nutrients) in addition to water.

Front 23

Homeostasis

(Homeostasis)

Back 23

Is a condition of a stable internal environment.

Front 24

What are the 3 components that are shared in homeostatic?

(Homeostasis)

Back 24

Receptors, Set Point and Effectors

Front 25

Effectors

(Homeostasis)

Back 25

Bring about responses that alter conditions in the internal environment.

Front 26

Set Point

(Homeostasis)

Back 26

Tells what a particular value should be, such as body temperature at 37C (Celsius) or 98.6F (Fahrenheit).

Front 27

Receptors

(Homeostasis)

Back 27

Provide information about specific conditions (stimuli) in the internal environment.

Front 28

The Human Organism can be divided into?

(Body Cavities)

Back 28

Axial and Apperpendicular

Front 29

Axial

(Body Cavities)

Back 29

Is a portion of the human body, which includes the head, neck and trunk.

Front 30

Apperpendicular

(Body Cavities)

Back 30

Is a portion of the human body, which includes the upper and lower limbs.

Front 31

Cranial Cravity

(Body Cavities)

Back 31

Is located within the Axial portion, which houses the brain.

Front 32

Vertebral Canal

(Body Cavities)

Back 32

Is located within the Axial portion, which contains the spinal cord within the sections of the backbone (vertebrae)
