Memmler's Chapter 1 Organization Of
The Human Body Quizzes And Ans.
dissect - ANSWER- to cut apart
physiology - ANSWER- the study of how the body functions
physio- - ANSWER- nature
-logy - ANSWER- study of
cells - ANSWER- the basic units of al life
tissues - ANSWER- specialized groups of cells
organs - ANSWER- tissues functioning together
systems - ANSWER- organs working together for the same general purpose
body systems that function as protection, support, and movement - ANSWER-
integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system
integumentary system - ANSWER- skin and associated structures [hair, nails, sweat
glands, and oil glands]
skeletal system - ANSWER- the body's basic framework; 206 bones and joints
muscular system - ANSWER- attached to bones and produce movement of the
skeleton; also give the body structure, protect organs, and maintain posture
smooth muscle - ANSWER- present in the walls of body organs, such as the stomach
and intestine
cardiac muscle - ANSWER- makes up the wall of the heart
body systems that function for coordination and control - ANSWER- nervous system,
endocrine system
nervous system - ANSWER- the brain, spinal cord, and nerves; also includes special
sense organs [eyes, ears, taste buds, and organs of smell] and the receptors of the
general senses, such as pain and touch
, electrical signals - ANSWER- transmitted along nerves to the brain, which directs
responses
endocrine system - ANSWER- scattered organs that are grouped together because they
share a similar function. thyroid gland, pituitary gland, and adrenal gland
hormones - ANSWER- regulate body activities such as growth, nutrient utilization, and
reproduction
body systems that function for circulation and immunity - ANSWER- cardiovascular
system and lymphatic system
cardiovascular system - ANSWER- the heart and blood vessels that pump blood to all
body tissues, bringing with it nutrients, oxygen, and other needed substances. this
system then carries waste materials away from the tissues to points where they can be
eliminated
lymphatic system - ANSWER- assist in circulation by returning fluids from the tissues to
the blood. include organs such as the tonsils, thymus gland, and spleen. plays a role in
immunity and protecting against disease; also aids in the absorption of diatary fats
lymph - ANSWER- the fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system
body systems that function for energy supply and fluid balance - ANSWER- respiratory
system, digestive system, and urinary system
respiratory system - ANSWER- includes the lungs and the passages leading to and
from the lungs
digestive system - ANSWER- composed of all the organs that are involved with taking in
nutrients (foods), converting them into a form that body cells can use, and absorbing
them into the circulation. includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large
intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas
urinary system - ANSWER- chief purpose is to rid the body of waste products and
excess water. includes the kidneys, ureters, the bladder, and the urethra
body system that function for the production of offspring - ANSWER- reproductive
system
reproductive system - ANSWER- includes the external sex organs and all related
internal structures that are concerned with the production of offspring
metabolism - ANSWER- all the life-sustaining reactions that occur within the body
system; divided into two types of activities: catabolism and anabolism
