Q

System

A

Group of organs hat work together to perform complex body functions. For example, the cardiovascular system consists of heart blood vessels and blood. It’s function is to transport nutrient and oxygen to the cells and remove carbon dioxide and other waste products

A

Study of genome and how it can be used to determine cause treatment prevention of disease.

18
Q

Gene therapy

A

Any therapy in which genes are intentionally introduced into human body to achieve gene repair suppression or addition.

19
Q

Hematopoietic stem cells

A

Immature cells from
Bone marrow and peripheral blood. Can develop into mature cells of any type of body tissue or form mature blood cells.
Can be obtained for transplantation from the own patient, identical twin, or from
Sibling or other individual

20
Q

Autologous

A

Transplantation from self

21
Q

Synergetic

A

Transplantation from identical twin

22
Q

Allogenic

A

Transplantation from sibling or other

23
Q

Embryonic stem cells

A

Derived from earliest stage of development of the embryo and have potential to develop into mature body cells

24
Q

Leukemia

A

Cancer involving white blood cells

25
Aplastic anemia
Disease of inadequate production of blood cells
26
Multiple myeloma
Cancer that forms tumors in bone marrow
27
Lymphoma
Cancer involving lymphoid cells

Ten systems list
``` Integumentary Respiratory Urinary Reproductive Cardiovascular Lymphatic Digestive Musculoskeletal Nervous Endocrine ```
31
Integumentary
Hair skin nails glands Protective covering Regulates body temp Produces vitamin D
32
Respiratory system
Nose pharynx larynx trachea bronchial tubes lungs | Performs respiration, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within body
33
Urinary
Kidneys ureters bladder urethra | Removes waste material, regulates fluid volume, maintains electrolyte concentration
34
Reproductive
Female: ovaries tubes uterus vagina mammary glands Male: tested urethra penis prostate gland tubes Heredity and reproduction
35
Cardiovascular
Heart blood vessels | Pumps and transports blood through body
36
Lymphatic
Network of vessels ducts nodes organs Defense against infection Drainage of extracellular fluid
37
Digestive
Gastrointestinal tract Mouth esophagus stomach largevand small intestines Prepares food for use by body cells and eliminates waste
38
Musculoskeletal
``` Muscles bones joints Movement and framework for body Protects vital organs Stores calcium Produces red blood cells ```
39
Nervous
Brian spinal cord and nervous | Regulates body
40
Endocrine
Glands that secret hormones | Regulate body activities
