Anatomy Chap 1

Groups of cells that have a common function.

Heart and Blood vessels

System that functions in the storage of minerals, such as calcium.

Systems that rids the body of indigestible food residue in feces.

System that removes the nitrogen-containing metabolic waste in urine.

Component of a control system that provides the means for the control center's response (output).

Body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions.

Is medial to the spine.

Divides the body into equal left and right halves.

Blood clotting and the birth of a baby.

The study of the function of the body and it's parts.

atoms,cellular, tissue, organ, system, organism.

Blood cell formation, is a function of the skeletal system.

System that covers external surface of the body and protects deeper tissue like, skin, nails, hair.

Maintain boundaries, movement, responsiveness, metabolism.

stimulus, receptor, afferent pathway, control center, efferent pathway, effector, response.

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.

Element of a control system detects change.

Operate in such a way that the initial stimulus is enhanced and increases.

Can be subdivided into four quadrant and 9 regions.

Lungs and heart.

Brain and spinal

Section that divides the body on the longitudinal plane into two equal right and left parts.

Divides the Thoracic from the Abdominalpelvic cavity.

Lowest level of structural organization

are mostly negative feedback reactions like, sweat to lower body temp,secrete more insulin to lower bld sugar level.

60% - 80%.

Directly inferior to umbilical region.

Towards head end or upper part of structure or body; above.

Toward the backside of the body; behind (posterior).

Away from the midline of the body on the outside.

Away from the body surface; internal.

Farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk.

Toward or at the midline of the body, on the inner side.

Toward or at the body surface.

Close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment to a limb to the body trunk.

Toward or at the front of the body; in front of (anterior).

Anatomy (a-NAT-ō-mē; ana- = up; -tomy = process of cutting) is the science of structure and the relationships among structures.

Physiology (fiz′-ē-OL-ō-jē; physio- = nature, -logy = study of) is the science of body functions, that is, how the body parts work.
