,anatomy - ANS The study of body structure
Gross Anatomy - ANS Study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Microscopic Anatomy - ANS deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked eye
Regional Anatomy - ANS the study of the interrelationships of all of the structures in a specific
K
body region
systemic anatomy - ANS the study of the structures that make up a discrete body system
C
Physiology - ANS scientific study of the chemistry and physics of the structures of the body
and the ways in which they work together
LO
Homeostasis - ANS steady internal conditions maintained by living things
cells - ANS The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
YC
Tissues - ANS groups of similar cells that perform a specific function in an organism
Organs - ANS structures of definite form that have specific functions and are composed of two
or more different tissues
Systems - ANS consist of related organs that have a common function
D
Major body systems (10) - ANS integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine,
circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
U
integumentary system - ANS encloses internal body structures, site of many sensory
receptors
ST
skeletal system - ANS supports the body, enables movement (with muscular system)
muscular system - ANS enables movement, helps maintain body temperature
nervous system - ANS detects and processes sensory information, activated bodily responses
endocrine system - ANS secretes hormones, regulates bodily processes
cardiovascular system - ANS delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, equalizes temperature
in the body
,lymphatic system - ANS returns fluids to blood vessels, cleanses the blood, involved in
immunity
respiratory system - ANS removes carbon dioxide from the body, delivers oxygen to blood
digestive system - ANS processes food for use by the body, removes wastes from undigested
food
urinary system - ANS controls water balance in the body, removes wastes from blood and
K
excretes them
male reproductive system - ANS produces sex hormones and gametes, delivers gametes to
C
female
female reproductive system - ANS produces sex hormones and gametes, supports
LO
embryo/fetus until birth, produces milk for infant
major characteristics of life (6) - ANS metabolism, responsiveness, movement, growth,
differentiation, reproduction
YC
nervous system - homeostasis - ANS detects changes and sends nerve impulses to
counteract the disruption, works rapidly
endocrine system - homeostasis - ANS regulates homeostasis by secreting hormones, works
slowly
D
feedback system - ANS cycle of events through which information about the status of a
condition is continually monitored and fed back to a central control region
U
stimulus - ANS any disruption that changes a controlled condition
components of a feedback system (3) - ANS Receptor, control centre, effector
ST
receptor - ANS monitors changes in a controlled condition and sends input to control center as
nerve impulse or chemical signal
control centre - ANS Sets the range of values for the maintenance of a controlled condition,
evaluates the input received from the receptors, and generates output commands when needed
effector - ANS receives directions from the control center and produces a response or effect
that changes the controlled condition
, negative feedback - ANS if a response reverses the original stimulus the system is a negative
feedback system, ex homeostasis of body temp. or blood glucose level
positive feedback - ANS if a response enhances the original stimulus the system is a positive
feedback system, ex childbirth
disorder - ANS general term for any derangement or abnormality of function
disease - ANS term for illness characterized by a recognizable set of signs and symptoms
K
symptom - ANS subjective changes in body functions that are not apparent to an observer
sign - ANS objective changes in body functions that a clinician can measure
C
anatomical position - ANS a standard position in which the body is facing forward, the feet are
parallel to each other, and the arms are at the sides with the palms facing forward
LO
planes - ANS an imaginary line that divides the body or an organ into sections
Principal planes - ANS midsagittal (medial) and parasagittal, frontal (coronal), transverse
(cross-sectional or horizontal) and oblique
YC
sections - ANS flat surfaces resulting from cuts through body structures
dorsal or posterior - ANS back of body
Ventral or anterior - ANS front of the body
D
Superior or cranial - ANS above; toward the head
U
inferior or caudal - ANS below; toward the soles of the feet
lateral - ANS away from the midline
ST
medial - ANS toward the midline
proximal - ANS closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the
body trunk
distal - ANS farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the
body trunk
superficial - ANS near the surface
