Looks like no one added any tags here yet for you.
anatomy
The study of body structure
physiology
The study of body function
levels of organization
chemistry, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
ultrasound
sound waves to view images of organs to determine masses, fetuses, blood clots, or blood vessels
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
use of magnetic and radio waves to view organs and tissues
CT scan (computed tomography)
use of computers rotating to view organs and tissues, more detailed x ray
characteristics of life
movement, responsiveness, growth, reproduction, respiration, digestion, absorption, circulation, assimilation, excretion
metabolism
sum of all chemical reactions in the body
Life depends on 5 environmental factors
water, food, oxygen, heat, pressure
water
most abundant substance in the body, required for metabolism, required for transfer of fat, regulate body temp
food
provide necessary nutrients, supply energy, supply raw material
oxygen
one fifth air, release energy from nutrients
heat
form of energy, partially controls rate of metabolism
pressure
force on an object, atmospheric pressure (breathing), hydro pressure (blood flow)
homeostasis
maintain a stable internal environment due to external changes
what three factors would you need for homeostasis?
receptor, control center, effector
receptor
identify stimuli and identifies conflict
control center
determines set point and analyzes info
effector
response to change of conditions
negative feedback
corrects set point
positive feedback
increases stimulus
when is positive feedback good?
pregnancy or blood clotting
viseral layer
covers the outside of the organs in that cavity
pariental layer
lines cavity, surrounds
serious fluid
between parietal and visceral for lubrication
thoracic membranes
visceral pleura, parietal pleura, visceral pericardium, parietal pericardium
integumentary system
to protect, reg body temp, absorption and excretion
skeletal system
support body, protects organs (ribs), and stores calcium and produce osteocytes
muscular system
movement, contains posture, produce most of body's heat
nervous system
sensation and motor function, thought, memory, and emotion
endocrine system
controls other major control system to communicate to other hormones
cardiovascular system
transport materials through out body (nutrients, waste (CO2), hormones, cells), and moves heat around body through blood
digestive system
break down food, absorb materials, eliminate waste
respritory system
exchange of gas between air and blood, regulates pH
lymphatic system
fights off disease
urinary system
eliminate waste, balance water, reg pH
reproductive system (male)
production of hormones and production and transportation of reproductive cells
reproductive system (female)
production of milk, hormones, reproductive cells, provide space for fetal development
what hormones do females produce?
estrogen and progesterone
ligament
bone to bone
tendon
muscle to bone
sensation and motor function
movement
mens reproductive cells
sperm
diaphram
compresses on lungs to assist breathing (nerve)
thoracic membrane
heart and lungs
anatomical position
standing erect, face forward, limbs at sides, palms forward, thumbs up
supine
lay on back
prone
lay on belly
superior
above
inferior
below
anterior
front of body
posterior
back of body
medial
toward the midline
lateral
to the sides
superficial
near the surface
deep
more internal
proximimal
closer to point of attachment
distal
farther from point of attachment
planes
sagittal, frontal, transverse
sagittal
divides body into left and right
transverse
divides the body into superior and inferior parts (horizontal)
frontal
divides the body into anterior and posterior sections
oblique
45 degree angle
RUQ
liver, gallbladder, right kidney, intestines, right uterus
LUQ
liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, intestines, left kidney, left uterus
RLQ
intestines, appendix, urinary bladder
LLQ
intestines, urinary bladder
1st region
right hypochondriac region
2nd region
epigastric region
3rd region
left hypochondriac region
4th region
right lumbar
5th region
umbilical
6th region
left lumbar
7th region
right lilac
8th region
hypogastric
9th region
left lilac
how many organs are in RUQ
5 organs
how many organs are in LUQ
7 organs
how many organs are in RLQ
3 organs
how many organs are in LLQ
2 organs
bilateral
paired structures, both sides of the boy. (Lungs, legs, arms)
same side
contralateral
opposite sides
why study chemistry in anatomy?
body function depends on cellular functions
cellular functions
result from chemical changes
matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
element
one type of atom; simplest form of a substance
atom
smallest particle of an element
atomic Structure
protons, neutrons, electrons
protons and neutrons are found in
the nucleus
atomic number
protons
atomic weight (mass)
protons + neutrons
isotopes
atoms of the same element but different number of neutrons
molecules
two or more atoms combine
compound
two or more different elements combine
first shell
hold up to 2 electrons
second shell
hold up to 8 electrons
third shell
hold up to 8 electrons
ions
gain or lose electrons
cation
positive charged ion
