Provides structural, protective and metabolic needs
Bones: 4 Major components - ANSWER -Long
Short
Flat
Irregular
Bones: Long - ANSWER -Have long compact hollow shafts containing marrow
Ends are usually made of spongy bone with air pockets
ex: jumpers, ulna, radius, femur, tibia and fibula
Bones: short - ANSWER -wider than they are long
ex: toes (metatarsals) and collarbone (clavicle)
Bones: flat - ANSWER -Not hollow but contain marrow
ex: scapula, ribs, and sternum
Bones: Irregular - ANSWER -Have Non-symmetrical shapes
,ex: skull, knee and elbows
Inference - ANSWER -A conclusion one can draw from the presented details.
anatomical position - ANSWER -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
Cells - ANSWER -The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
Cellular functions - ANSWER -Processes that include growth, metabolism, replication, protein
synthesis, and movement
Directional terminology - ANSWER -Words used to explain relationships of locations of anatomical
elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)
organ system - ANSWER -A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions.
Organelle - ANSWER -specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a
eukaryotic cell
Organ - ANSWER -A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
Reference Planes - ANSWER -Planes dividing the body to describe locations
(ex: sagittal, coronal, and transverse)
Tissue - ANSWER -A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.
,Eukaryotic cells - ANSWER -Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes.
What does the respiratory system do? - ANSWER -Brings in oxygen to go into the cells, and picks up
carbon dioxide to be removed from the bodyguard
What are the 7 parts of the respiratory system? - ANSWER -1. Nose
2. Pharynx
3. Larynx (voice box)
4. Trachea (windpipe)
5. Bronchi
6. Bronchioles
7. Alveoli
What are alveoli surrounded by to allow the exchange of O2 and CO2? - ANSWER -Capillaries
What is cilia? - ANSWER -Tiny hairs in the nose and trachea that wave particles up away and out
What is mucus? - ANSWER -Something that keeps the air warm and moist but also traps particles
What does hemoglobin do? - ANSWER -Carries oxygen through the blood
What is pleura? - ANSWER -Sacs that surround the lungs
What is the diaphragm? - ANSWER -The muscle at the bottom of the thoracic cavity
What happens during inhalation? - ANSWER -Diaphragm moves down (contracts), rib cage rises,
, volume of chest cavity increases, air moves in to fill the space
What happens during exhalation? - ANSWER -Diaphragm moves up (relaxes), rib cage lowers, space
becomes smaller, air is pushed out of lungs
What does the medulla oblongata do? - ANSWER -Controls breathing
What is chronic bronchitis? - ANSWER -Bronchi swell and become clogged with mucus
What is emphysema? - ANSWER -Tissues in lungs lose elasticity; tissues can't enough O2 or get rid
of enough CO2
What is lung cancer? - ANSWER -Cells that do not stop reproducing; can spread to other locations
because lungs are so central and connected to so much; survival is generally less then 5 years
from diagnosis
What is elastic recoil? - ANSWER -The ability for the alveoli to get filled with air then return to
their normal shape once the air is released
What is a spirometer? - ANSWER -an instrument for measuring the air capacity of the lungs
What is tidal volume? - ANSWER -The amount of air taken in and breathed out in a typical breath
What is supplemental volume? - ANSWER -The xtra air that can be inhaled or exhaled with a deep
breath
What is reserve amount? - ANSWER -The amount of extra air you can breathe out when you force
air out of your lungs
