Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 1, 2, 3 Test
1. Anatomy: Study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts and their
relationships to one another.
2. Physiology: The study of the normal functioning of a living organism and its
component parts
3. Six levels of organization: Atoms
Molecules
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Organ Systems
4. Organ Systems:
Integumentary
Musculoskeletal
Skeletal
Nervous
Endocrine
Circulatory
Immune
Respiratory
Digestive
Urinary
Reproductive
5. Integumentary: skinprotects deeper tissue from injury
6. Muscularskeletal: muscle allows manipulation produces heat
7. Skeletal: skeleton protects and
supports body organs
provides framework
, Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 1, 2, 3 Test
8. Nervous: nerves
control system of the body
9. Circulatory: "circulation"
heart/blood vesselsblood carries
oxygen, carbon dioxide nutrients
wastes
10. Immune: "immune" lymph
nodes white blood cells/immune
system
11. Respiratory: oxygen lungs
keeps blood supplied with oxygen
12. Digestive: "digest food"
breaks food down 13. Urinary:
"urine" eliminates nitrogen
containing waste regulates water,
electrolyte, and acid base balance in
the blood
14. Endocrine: "glands" secrete hormones
15. Reproductive: "reproduce"penis/vagina
16. Life functions:
Maintaining boundaries
Movement
, Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 1, 2, 3 Test
Responsiveness
Digestion
Metabolism
Excretion
Reproduction
Growth
Must make really digging metal elephants real great
17. Survival needs:
Nutrients
Oxygen
Water
Appropriate temperature
Appropriate atmospheric pressure
18. Homeostasis: regulation of the bodies internal environment
19. Importance of Homeostasis: keeps our bodies balanced
20. Negative feedback: stabilizes the regulated variable
21. Matter: "stuff" of the universe; anything that occupies space and has mass
22. Energy: ability to do work
23. Element: substance that cannot be broken down by chemical means
24. Molecule: two or more atoms of the same elements combined chemically
25. Compound: two or more atoms of different elements combined
chemicallysalts, carbon dioxide, water
26. Atom: smallest stable unit of matter; building blocks of
elements
27. Protons: positively charged in the nucleus
28. Neutrons: uncharged in the nucleussubatomic particle with a
neutral charge
29. Electrons: negatively charged, orbiting the nucleus
