Chapter 1

The study of form & funtion of body parts (study of what something looks like)

The study of how things work

A basic unit of life (how it works)

Cells together
-Aggregation of cells, usually forming part of an organ and performing some discrete function for it

any anatomical structure  composed of at least two different tissue types, has recognizable structural boundaries, and discrete function different from those around it.

the sum of all reactions in your body

taking something larger and breaking it down (give energy away)

taking small things & making them larger by putting them together (put energy in)

how we react to protect us

ex. sunfower growing oddly to get sunlight

ex. heart and digestion

unset growth

ex.trees

a set growth

ex. human height

this must occur to continue the population of species

what a cell does to get a job in the body (become specialized)
-development of unspecialized cell into more specific structure and function 

a condition in which the bodies internal environment remains within certain preset physiological parameter

where your body wants to be in

where the body can be okay with current conditions

monitors & reports to the brain what's going on

the brain, interprets the receptor and analyzes the information

the part that makes changes the control center dictates

bringing things back into the normal range

type of feedback look that makes the problem worse

normal glucose levels

hormone secreted by alpha cells of pancreatic islets on response to hypoglycemia; promotes raising of glucose concentration

divides the body into left and right parts

cut through the body perpendicularly to the sagittal planes, producing front and back portions

divides the body into upper and lower parts

reference posture that aloows for standardized anatomical terminology

above

below

front

back

closer to the midline

further away from the midline, towards the sides

close to the point of attachment

further from the point of attachment

structure that is nearer the surface of the body or organ

structure that is further away from the surface of the body/organ

located within the skull

surrounded by the ribs

surrounds the heart and lies within the mediastinum

surrounds the lungs

centrally located between the lungs

the soft region located between the ribs and the pelvis

lies within the bony pelvis

flat thin sheets of tissue that cover body surfaces or line cavities

tissue layer that forms the inner lining of an anatomical tract

membrane that lines a body cavity or covers the external sufaces of the viscera
