Understanding Anatomy and
physiology by Gale Slone Thompson-
chapter 1
Define anatomy and physiology - ANS>>Anatomy - the structure of the human body
Physiology how the body functions
Define pathophysiology - ANS>>The study of the process that disturbs normal function
of the body (diseased functioning)
Atoms link together to form what? - ANS>>Molecules
Molecules are organized into various structures which include what? -
ANS>>Organelles
Organelles are the metabolic units within a cell that perform a specific function
necessary to the life of the cell.
organelles are contained within what? - ANS>>Cells
Cells are the smallest living unit that make up the body structure.
Cells group together to form what? - ANS>>Tissues
Tissues are specialized group of cells with similar structure and function.
Tissues come together to form what. - ANS>>Organs
It depends on the organ but they are structures of two or more tissue types working
together to carry out a particular function
Organs then form what? - ANS>>Organ systems
Organ systems are a group of organs that contribute to a particular function.
All of the organ systems together form..... - ANS>>A human organism: one complete
individual.
Integumentary system - ANS>>Consists of skin hair and nails
Key functions:
protection
, temperature regulation
water retention
sensation
Page 5 organ systems
Skeletal system - ANS>>Consist of bones, cartilage, and ligaments,
Key function;
protection of body organs
support
movement
blood formation
Page 5 organ systems
Muscular system - ANS>>Consist primarily of skeletal muscles
Key Functions;
movement
Posture
Heat production
Page 5 organ systems
Lymphatic system - ANS>>Consist of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, lymph, thymus,
spleen, and tonsils
key functions:
role in fluid balance
production of immune cells
defense against disease
Page 5 organ systems
Respiratory system - ANS>>Consist of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and
lungs
key functions;
absorption of oxygen
discharge of carbon dioxide
acid-base balance
speech
