front 1 Define Anatomy. | back 1 The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another. |
front 2 Define physiology. | back 2 The study of the function of the body structures. |
front 3 Describe the nature of different topics in anatomy. | back 3 Gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, and developmental anatomy |
front 4 Describe the main focus of physiology. | back 4 Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular level. |
front 5 Describe the principle of complementarity of structure and function. How does it unite the disciplines of anatomy and physiology? | back 5 Function always reflects structure. (physiology) (anatomy) The function depends on its structure. |
front 6 Levels of organization: list from simplest to most complex. | back 6 Atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism |
front 7 Describe the importance of each of the necessary life functions. Briefly describe each function. | back 7 Maintaining boundaries- Ex. skin keeps insides in and outside out Movement- the ability to move on it's own Responsiveness- Responding to external environment Digestion- Breaking food down to smaller components Metabolism- chemical reactions that occur in the human body Excretion- process of removing wastes Reproduction- sexual or cellular or asexual Growth- change in the size of the stucture |
front 8 Define Homeostasis | back 8 Maintenance of a constant, stable internal environment. |
front 9 Negative feedback system | back 9 Maintains homeostasis. The output shuts off the original effect of the stimulus. Example: Regulation of body temperature |
front 10 Positive feedback system | back 10 Does not maintain homeostasis. The output enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus. Example: Regulation of blood clotting |
front 11 Anatomical Position | back 11 Body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward, thumbs pointing away from the body |
front 12 Why is anatomical position important? | back 12 It gives us all the same frame of reference |
front 13 Superior Inferior | back 13 Closer to the top of the head Further away from the head |
front 14 Anterior Posterier | back 14 Towards the front Towards the back |
front 15 Medial Lateral | back 15 Closer to the midline Further away from the midline |
front 16 Proximal Distal | back 16 Closer to the origin Further away from the origin |
front 17 Superficial Deep | back 17 Closer to the surface of the body Further away from the surface |
front 18 Frontal | back 18 Cuts body into anterior and postier positions |
front 19 Sagittal | back 19 Divides body into left and right (does not have to be equal) |
front 20 Transverse | back 20 Divides body into superior and inferior horizontal cut. |
front 21 Oblique | back 21 At a diagonal. |
front 22 Dorsal Cavity | back 22 Back 2 sections: cranial cavity and vertebral cavity |
front 23 Ventral Cavity | back 23 Front 2 subdivisions: Thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity |
front 24 Cranial Cavity | back 24 In your cranium (holds your brain) |
front 25 Vertebral cavity | back 25 Spinal Cord |
front 26 Thoracic Cavity | back 26 Contains heart and lungs |
front 27 Abdominopelvic Cavity | back 27 Contains abdominal and pelvic |
front 28 Name the membranes in the ventral cavity. | back 28 Serous Membranes Parietal serosa and visceral serosa |
front 29 Parietal Serosa | back 29 Lines internal body walls Example: lines the abdominal walls, thoracic walls... |
front 30 Visceral Serosa | back 30 Covers the internal organs (each organ has its own serous membrane) |
front 31 Serous Fluid | back 31 Separates the serosa (found in between the membranes) |
