|
Similar types of cells (ie. Blood Vessel)
|
|
An organ is made up of these.

Different types of tissues (ie. heart=organ)
|
|
What is an organ system made up of? What is an example of an organ system?
|
Consists of different organs working together
Example: cardiovascular system |
|
An organism is made up of many of these?
|
Organ systems
|
|
What system protects and supports body organs, provides a framework the muscles use for movement. Blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals.
|
Skeletal System
|
|
This system forms the external body covering, and protects deeper tissue from injury. Synthesis Vitamin D, and houses cutaneous (pain, pressure, etc) receptors and sweat and oil glands.
|
Integumentary System
|
|
This system allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expressions. Maintains posture, produces heat.
|
Muscular System
|
|
Fast-acting control system that responds to internal and external changes by activating muscles and glands
|
Nervous System
|
|
This system breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood.
|
Digestive System
|
|
This system disposes of debris, houses white blood cells (lymphocytes), immune response.
|
Lymphatic System
|
|
This system, via the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to disposal organs?
|
Cardiovascular System
|
|
What system takes in oxygen and eliminates Carbon Dioxide?
|
Respiratory System
|
|
What are the necessary Life functions?
|
1. maintain boundaries
2.Movement 3.responsiveness 4.digestion/excretion 5.metabolism 6.Reproduction 7.Growth |
|
What are the survival needs?
|
1. Nutrients
2. Oxygen 3. Water 4. Normal Body Temp 5. Atmospheric Pressure |
|
Give an example of a receptor?
|
Temperature sensitive cells in skin and brain
|
|
Thermoregulatory center in brain
|
Control Center
|
|
What is an example of an effector?
|
Sweat Glands
|
|
What feedback system does this suggest?
1. Receptors sense decreased blood volume 2. Control Center sends ADH (antidiuretic) 3. ADH causes kidneys (effectors) to return more water to the blood. |
Negative Feedback
|
|
This feedback exhibits a cascade or amplifying effect.
EXAMPLES: 1. Contractions in labor 2. Blood clotting (attract more platelets) |
Positive feedback
|
|
Toward the head (closer to)
|
Superior (cranial)
1. The knee is superior to the foot |
|
Means away from the head, or just away from?
|
Inferior (caudal)
1. the foot is inferior to the knee |
|
Toward the front of the body
|
Anterior (ventral)
1. Breastbone is anterior to the heart |
|
Toward the back of the body
|
Posterior (dorsal)
1. The spinal cord is posterior to the heart |
|
Toward or at the midline (on the inner side of)
|
Medial
1. The spinal cord is medial to the arm. |
|
Away from midline (outer side of)
|
Lateral
1. The arm is lateral to the spinal cord. |
|
Between a more medial and a more lateral structure
|
Intermediate
1. The scapula (shoulder blade) is intermediate to the arm and the spinal cord. |
|
Closer to the origin of the body part (limb)
|
Proximal
|
|
Farther from the origin of the body part (limb)
|
Distal
|
|
Toward or at the body surface (more external)
|
Superficial
1. The skin is superficial to the muscle |
|
Away from body surface (more internal)
|
Deep
2. The muscle are deep to the skin. |
