Front 1

anatomy

Back 1

the structure of organs and body systems

the smallest parts of elements that still retain all the original properties of the element

Front 4

molecule

Back 4

a chemical bonding of atoms

cells

Back 5

specific molecules combines

Front 6

tissue

Back 6

cells combined

Front 7

organ

Back 7

two or more tissues type work together to perform a specific function

Front 8

organ system

Back 8

when organs work together to perform a task

Front 9

organism

Back 9

the highest level of organization

Front 10

hierarchy of the structure of the human body

Back 10

1.organism

2.organ system

3.organs

4.tissue

5.cells

6.molecules

7.atoms

Front 11

four types of tissue

Back 11

1. epithelial

2.connective

3. muscle

4. nervous

Front 12

Epithelium's 2 functions

Back 12

covering such as skin and provide protection

Front 13

does epithelium have its own blood supply?

Back 13

no, it commonly exist in sheaths. Dependent on diffusion from nearby capillaries for food and oxygen, can regenerate easily if well nourished.

Front 14

how are epithelium classified?

Back 14

cell shape and cell layers

Front 15

simple epithelium

Back 15

one layer of cells, found in body structures where absorption, secretion, and filtration occur

Front 16

stratified epithelium

Back 16

has more then one layer of cells and serves as protection

Front 17

other shapes of epithelium tissue....

Back 17

squamous, cuboidal, and columnar

Front 18

where is connective tissue found?

Back 18

found through out the body, to connect different structures of the body.

Front 19

does connective tissue have its own blood supply?

Back 19

has its own blood supply, there are some types of connective tissue that do not; ligaments, bone, cartilage, adipose (fat), and blood vessel.

Front 20

function of muscle tissue

Back 20

to produce movement

Front 21

what are the three types of muscle tissue?

Back 21

skeletal, cardiac, smooth

Front 22

skeletal muscle

Back 22

supports voluntary movement since its connected to bones in the skeletal system (voluntary movements---are consciously controlled in the brain)

Front 23

smooth

Back 23

under involuntary control, found in the walls of hollow organs, such as intestines, blood vessels, bladder, and uterus

Front 24

cardiac muscle

Back 24

involuntary muscle movement, found only in the heart

Front 25

nervous tissue

Back 25

provide structure for the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Front 26

what are nerves made up of?

Back 26

nerves are made up of specialized cells called neurons that send electrical impulses throughout the body. Support cells, such as myelin, help protect nervous tissue

Front 27

anatomical posistion

Back 27

a standard position in which the body is facing forward, the feet are parallel to each other and the arms are at the sides with the palms facing forward.

Front 28

superior

Back 28

toward the upper end of the body

inferior

Back 29

lower end of the body

Front 30

anterior

Back 30

Front 31

posterior

Back 31

back of the body

Front 32

medial

Back 32

middle of the body

Front 33

lateral

Back 33

outer sides of the body

Front 34

inermediate

Back 34

between medial and lateral

Front 35

proximal

Back 35

close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment

Front 36

distal

Back 36

away from the origin of the body part or point of attachment

Front 37

superficial

Back 37

toward or at the body surface

Front 38

deep

Back 38

away from the origin of the body part or point of attachment

Front 39

saggital section

Back 39

cut made along a longitudinal plane dividing the body into right and left parts

Front 40

midsaggital

Back 40

saggital section made down the median of the body

Front 41

transverse

Back 41

cut made on horizontal plane

Front 42

frontal section

Back 42

cut made along longitudinal plane

Front 43

dorsal body cavity

Back 43

contains the cranial cavity and spinal column

Front 44

ventral body cavity

Back 44

contains all the structure within the chest and abdomen; diaphragm divides the ventral cavity into the thoracic cavity; below the diaphragm are the abdominal and pelvic cavities.

Front 45

adaptatin

Back 45

receive, interpret, and respond to internal and external stimuli via the nervous sytem

Front 46

circulation

Back 46

transport of oxygen and other nutrients to tissue via the cardiovascular system

Front 47

elimination

Back 47

remove metabolic waste from the body via the renal system

Front 48

locomotion

Back 48

allow voluntary movement and involuntary movement of body via the musculoskeletal and neurological systems

Front 49

nutrition

Back 49

take in oxygen and break down nutrients to be used for metabolism via the digestive sytem
