ANAPHY Flashcards
WHAT ARE THE 6 LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
- Chemical level
- Cellular level
- Tissue level
- Organ level
- System level
- Organism level
This is a very BASIC LEVEL compared to the letters of alphabet and includes atoms, the smallest units of matter that participate in chemical reactions.
Chemical Level
The BASIC STRUCTURAL and functional units of an organism that are composed of chemicals
CELLULAR LEVEL
Group of CELLS and the materials surrounding them that work together to perform a particular function, similar to the way words are put together to form sentences.
TISSUE LEVEL
different TYPES OF TISSUES are JOINED TOGETHER Similar to the relationship between sentences and paragraphs.
ORGAN LEVEL
5 types of BASIC LIFE PROCESSES
-METABOLISM
-RESPONSIVENESS
-GROWTH
-DIFFERENTIATION
-REPRODUCTION
THIS IS THE SUM OF ALL THE CHEMICAL PROCESSES THAT OCCUR IN THE BODY
METABOLISM
2 types of METABOLISM
- CATABOLISM
- ANABOLISM
BREAKDOWN OF COMPLEX CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE.
CATABOLISM
BUILDING UP OF COMPLEX CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES FROM SMALL AND SIMPLER COMPONENTS.
ANABOLISM
THIS IS THE BODY’S ABILITY TO DETECT AND RESPOND TO CHANGES
RESPONSIVENESS
INCLUDES MOTION OF THE WHOLE BODY, INDIVIDUAL ORGANS, SINGLE CELLS AND EVEN TINY STRUCTURES INSIDE CELLS.
MOVEMENT
THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CELL FROM AN UNSPECIALIZED STATE.
DIFFERENTIATION
REFERS EITHER TO FORM A NEW CELL FOR TISSUE GROWTH, REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OR THE PRODUCTION OF NEW INDIVIDUAL
REPRODUCTION
THIS IS A CONDITION OF EQUILIBRIUM IN THE BODY’S INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT DUE TO THE CONSTANT INTERACTION OF THE BODY’S MANY REGULATORY PROCESSES.
HOMEOSTASIS
how-mee-ow-stay- suhs
THIS IS A CYCLE OF EVENTS IN WHICH THE STATUS OF A BODY CONDITION IS MONITORED, EVALUATED, CHANGED, RE-MONITORED AND RE-EVALUATED
FEEDBACK SYSTEM
2 types of FEEDBACK
NEGATIVE FEED BACK
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
STRENGTHEN OR REINFORCE A CHANGE IN THE ONE OF THE BODY’S CONTROLLED CONDITIONS.
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
REVERSES A CHANGE IN A CONTROLLED CONDITION.
NEGATIVE FEED BACK
6 TYPES OF BASIC ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY
- REGIONAL NAMES
- DIRECTIONAL TERMINOLOGIES
- PLANES AND SECTIONS
- BODY CAVITIES
- MEMBRANES
- REGIONS AND QUADRANTS
Toward the head, or the upper part of a structure.
Superior (soo’-PER-e-or)
(cephalic or cranial)
Ex: The heart is superior to the liver.
Away from the head, or the lower part of a structure.
Inferior (in-FE-re-or) (caudal)
Ex: The stomach is inferior to the lungs.
Nearer to or at the front of the body.
Anterior (an-TER-e-or) (ventral)*
Ex: The sternum (breastbone) is anterior to the heart.
Nearer to or at the back of the body.
Posterior (pos-TER-é-or) (dorsal)
ex: The esophagus (food tube) is posterior to the trachea (windpipe).
