Q

What is the relationship of structure and function?

A

Structure mirrors function. bones of the skull are heavy and secure to protect brain function. the air sacs of the lungs permit diffusion of gases from the lungs.

Q

What are the subdivisions of anatomy?

A

The two subdivisions of anatomy are surface anatomy which is the study of form and markings of the surface of the body.
Gross anatomy is formed of systematic approach which is the study of all blood vessels, or all of the muscles or all the bones.
-Regional approach is all anatomical structures of a specific region. thorax or the head and neck.

Q

List and explain the 6 essential life processes.

A
  • Metabolism, is the sum of all the catabolic and anabolic chemical processes that occur in the body
  • Responsiveness, is the body’s ability to detect and respond to changes.
  • Movement, is any motion, including movement of tiny sub cellular structures.
  • Growth, involves increase in body size due to an increase in cells, number of cells or both
  • Differentiation, is the development of a cell from an unspecialized state.
  • Reproduction, is the formation of new cells or the production of a new individual.

Q

What are the 11 organ systems

A
  1. Integumentary system, consists of skin related structures (hair, nails and glands). It protects the regulates temperature and eliminates wastes.
  2. Skeletal System, consists of bones and joints. Provides protection and support, houses cells that will become red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
  3. Muscular System, consists of the named skeletal muscles as well as smooth and cardiac muscle, helps with movement and generates heat.
  4. Cardiovascular, consists of the heart, blood and blood vessels. It carries blood and nutrients to specific locations.
  5. Lymphatic System, consists of the lymphatic fluid, lymph nodes and lymphocytes, it transports fats and proteins to the cardiovascular system and filters blood and protects against disease.
  6. Urinary system, consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Its the collection and excretion of waste in the urine.
  7. Reproductive system, consists of ovaries, uterus, vagina and testes and penis in me.
