-
Tissue
Groups of cells that have a common function.
-
Cardiovascular System primary organs
Heart and Blood vessels
-
Skeletal System
System that functions in the storage of minerals, such as calcium.
-
Digestive System
Systems that rids the body of indigestible food residue in feces.
-
Urinary System
System that removes the nitrogen-containing metabolic waste in urine.
-
Sensory Receptor
Component of a control system that provides the means for the control center's response (output).
-
Homeostasis
Body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions.
-
Navel
Is medial to the spine.
-
Median section
Divides the body into equal left and right halves.
-
Name a positive feedback mechanism
Blood clotting and the birth of a baby.
-
Physiology
The study of the function of the body and it's parts.
-
Structural organization of body, simple to complex
atoms,cellular, tissue, organ, system, organism.
-
Hematopoiesis
Blood cell formation, is a function of the skeletal system.
-
Integumentary System
System that covers external surface of the body and protects deeper tissue like, skin, nails, hair.
-
Life functions
Maintain boundaries, movement, responsiveness, metabolism.
-
Elements in a control system in correct order
stimulus, receptor, afferent pathway, control center, efferent pathway, effector, response.
-
Difference between afferent and afferent pathways
Afferent are pathways leading to the cortex (sensory), efferent are pathways leading away (motor). You are affected by a situation, you are effect change on someone else.
-
Receptor
Element of a control system detects change.
-
Positive feedback systems
Operate in such a way that the initial stimulus is enhanced and increases.
-
Abdominopelvic body cavity
Can be subdivided into four quadrant and 9 regions.
-
Organs in the Thoracic body cavity
Lungs and heart.
-
Organs in the dorsal body cavity
Brain and spinal
-
Medial/sagittal plane
Section that divides the body on the longitudinal plane into two equal right and left parts.
-
Transverse plane
Divides the Thoracic from the Abdominalpelvic cavity.
-
Atom
Lowest level of structural organization
-
Homeostatic control mechanisms
are mostly negative feedback reactions like, sweat to lower body temp,secrete more insulin to lower bld sugar level.
-
Percentage of H2O in body
60% - 80%.
-
Hypogastric region
Directly inferior to umbilical region.
-
Superior
Towards head end or upper part of structure or body; above.
-
Dorsal
Toward the backside of the body; behind (posterior).
-
Lateral
Away from the midline of the body on the outside.
-
Deep
Away from the body surface; internal.
-
Distal
Farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk.
-
Medial
Toward or at the midline of the body, on the inner side.
-
Superficial
Toward or at the body surface.
-
Proximal
Close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment to a limb to the body trunk.
-
Ventral
Toward or at the front of the body; in front of (anterior).
-
Anatomy
Anatomy (a-NAT-ō-mē; ana- = up; -tomy = process of cutting) is the science of structure and the relationships among structures.
-
Physiology
Physiology (fiz′-ē-OL-ō-jē; physio- = nature, -logy = study of) is the science of body functions, that is, how the body parts work.
