exam 1 human anatomy & physiolog
anatomy correct answers study of body
structure
integumentary, skeletal & muscular correct answers the 3 body
systems that
protection, offer &
support
movement
physiology correct answers the study of how the body
functions
metabolism correct answers all the life-sustaining reactions that occur
within the
systems body
together
make up
anabolism correct answers simple compounds are built into more
complex(energy-
required building phase of metabolism in which simpler substances are
combined
form moreto complex
substances)
catabolism correct answers Process of breaking down complex materials
(foods)
form to
simpler substances and release energy (substances are broken down
into building
blocks
)
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) correct answers one of the principal
chemical
compounds that living things use to store and release
energy
pathology correct answers the branch of medical science that studies the
causes and
effects of
diseases
cell correct answers (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all
organisms
tissue correct answers group of similar cells that perform a
particular function
organs correct answers group of tissues that work together to perform
closely related
function
s
organ system correct answers A group of organs that work together in
performing vital
body
functions.
homeostasis correct answers Process by which organisms maintain a
relatively stable
internal
environment.
mediastinum correct answers open space between
the lungs
muscular system correct answers includes smooth, cardiac & skeletal
muscle
gives tissues,structure, and movement throughout
support,
the body
,nervous system correct answers The body system organized into the brain,
spinal
and cord, that send and receive messages and integrate the body's
nerves,
activities.
endocrine system correct answers the system of glands that produce
secretions
help that bodily metabolic activity such as growth, nutrient
to control
utilization, &
reproducti
on
cardiovascular system correct answers the heart & blood vessels make up
the system
involved in circulating blood and lymph through
the body
lymphatic system correct answers these vessels assist in circulation by
returning
from fluids
tissues to blood. The tonsils & thymus gland play a role in immunity,
protecting
from disease. This system also aids in the absorption of
dietary fats
respiratory system correct answers The organ system responsible for
the intake
oxygen andofdiffusion of that gas into the blood and the elimination of
carbon
from thedioxide
body. Important structures of the system are the pharynx,
larynx, trachea,
bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs. Alveoli in the lungs are the location of gas
exchange
with the blood. The movement of the muscular diaphragm allows the lungs to
inhale and
exhal
e.
digestive system correct answers provides the body with nutrients,
water, and essential for health. These organs serve to ingest, digest, and
electrolytes
absorb
and food the remains (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small & large
eliminate
intestine, liver,
gallbladder, &
pancreas)
urinary system correct answers consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder,
and urethra,
removes wastes from the blood and helps to maintain water and
electrolyte balance
reproductive system correct answers organs and tissues involved in the
production and
maturation of gametes and in their union and subsequent development
as offspring
the difference between negative & positive feedback correct
answers negative
feedback systems reverses a condition to bring it back to a norm,
positive feedback
intensifies a
response
the difference between intracellular and extracellular fluid correct answers
extracellular
fluid includes all body fluids outside the cells (bathes the cells, carries
nutrients
from cellsto&& transports nutrients into and out of cells). Intracellular fluid
is contained
within the
cells
superior correct answers above or in a higher
position
inferior correct answers below or
lower
, anterior or ventral correct answers toward belly surface or
front of body
medial correct answers nearer to midline of body, dividing into
left & right
lateral correct answers away from midline, toward
the side
proximal correct answers nearer to the origin of a
structure
distal correct answers farther from the
origin
frontal or coronal plane correct answers divides the body into anterior or
ventral
and (front)or dorsal (back)
posterior
sections
sagittal plane correct answers a vertical plane that divides the body into
right and left
part
s
midsagittal plane correct answers a cut exactly down the
midline of body
transverse plane correct answers horizontal division of the body into upper
(superior)
and lower (inferior)
portions
dorsal cavity correct answers body cavity that is located toward the back
part ofdivided
body; the into the cranial cavity and the
spinal cavity
ventral cavity correct answers cavity along the anterior side of the body
made of the
abdominal cavity and the thoracic
cavity
heart, lungs & large blood vessels that join the heart correct answers the
organs of the
thoracic
cavity
mediastinum correct answers open space between
the lungs
diaphragm correct answers a muscle used in breathing that separates the
thoracic &
abdominopelvic
cavities
abdominal & pelvic cavities correct answers the 2 regions that the
cavity is
abdominopelvic
subdivided
the organs in the abdominal cavity correct answers stomach, most of the
intestine,
liver, the
gallbladder, pancreas &
spleen
the organs of the pelvic cavity correct answers urinary bladder, rectum &
internal
of parts
the reproductive
system
the 3 central regions, from superior to inferior correct answers epigastric
region (inferior
to
breastbone),
