Histology - -the study of tissues
Mitosis and Meiosis - -Mitosis and meiosis are the ways that cells
reproduce. During mitosis, a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two
identical cells called daughter cells. Meiosis, on the other hand, produces
four daughter cells that have only half of the chromosomes that the parent
cell has. Meiosis is the form of cell duplication that produces eggs and sperm.
Skin - -membrane because it covers the body ; organ because it
contains several kinds of tissues.
skeletal system - -Functions to support, permit movement, form blood
cells (homeopoiesis), protect internal organs, detoxify, point for muscle
attachment, mineral storage (particularly phosphorous and calcium)
Muscular System - -Consists of skeletal muscles and tendons that
connect muscles to bone, and ligaments which attach bones to each other to
form joints. Cardiac and smooth muscles are not included in this organ
system.
Nervous System - -Composed of neurons (cell, axon, dendrite), central
nervous system (brain, spinal cord), peripheral nervous system (nerves of the
body). Recieves, interpretes and transmits impulses and responses.
,2
Responsible for sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing (five senses), heart rate,
breathing, speech, movement
Endocrine system - -Consists of a group of ductless glands that secrete
substances called hormones directly into the bloodstream. Hormones are
powerful chemical substances that have a profound effect on many body
processes such as metabolism, growth and development, reproduction,
personality, and the ability of the body to react to stress and disease.
Circulatory system - -The human body system that contains the heart,
blood, and all of the blood vessels. It delivers all the nutrients to the cells
Respiratory System - -A system of organs, functioning in the process of
gas exchange between the body and the environment, consisting especially of
the nose, nasal passages, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
Digestive System - -3 main functions - break down food mechanically &
chemically, absorb important molcules for the body needs, & eliminates
wastes
Urinary System - -Composed of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Removes waster material (urine) from the body, regulates fluid volume, and
maintains electrolyte concentration.
Reproductive system - -(testes, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra,
penis, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina) produces reproductive cells,
nurtures and protects developing embryo in females
, 3
Alimentary Canal - -Also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of the
digestive tract, the alimentary canal is the long muscular "tube" that includes
the mouth esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
anatomic position - -The position with the body erect with the arms at
the sides and the palms forward. The anatomic position is of importance in
anatomy because it is the position of reference for anatomic nomenclature.
Anatomic terms such as anterior and posterior, medial and lateral, and
abduction and adduction apply to the body when it is in the anatomic
position.
Anterior - -Front or Ventral
appendicular skeleton - -126 bones that make up the shoulder girdle,
arms, hands, pelvic girdle, legs, and hands.
arterioles - -Extremely small arteries that result from multiple branching
of major arteries. Function to direct and control blood flow and to reduce
blood pressure
Axial Skelton - -rts the central axis of the body. Consists of the sku
bolus - -A term used to describe food after it has been chewed and
mixed with saliva.food is swallowed and passed from the esophagus into the
stomach, where digestion continues with the mixing of chyme with
hydrochloric acid, enzyme action, and intrinsic factor.
