19
Q

major classes of compounds

A

water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids

20
Q

cell

A

smallest living unit int eh body

21
Q

tissue

A

many cells and some surrounding material (collection of cells with similar functions or common embryonic origin or they resemble another) come from same stem cells

22
Q

organ

A

combination of tissues (2 or more tissues)

23
Q

organ system

A

combination of various organ make up a specific system (ex: the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreases make up the digestive system) 11 organ systems

24
Q

integumentary systems

A

protection from environmental hazards; temperature control (sweat and oil glands, fingernails, hair)

25
skeletal system
support, protection of soft tissue; mineral storage (calcium in the bones); blood formation (bone marrow), ligamet= connect bone to bone, tendon= connects muscle to bone
26
muscular system
locomotion, support, heat production (shivering generates heat, muscle contractions)
27
nervous system
directing immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems. (central= brain and spinal cord)
28
endocrine system
directing long term changes in the activities of other organ systems (pancrease= insulin) (kidney=vit d)
29
cardiovascular
internal transport of cells and dissolved materials, including nutrients wastes, and gasses (heart, capillary, arteries and veins)
30
lymphoid system
defense against infection and disease (fluid that leaves blood vessels and is reabsorbed by the lymphatic system)
31
respiratory sysem
delivery of air to sites where gas exchange can occur between the air and circulating blood (nasal cavity, sinus, larynx, bronchi, lung, diaphragm, trachea, oharynx, lungs)
32
digestive
processing of food and absorption of organic nutrients, minerals, vitamins and water (salivary gland, oharynx, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, oancreas, small int, large int, anus, stomach)
33
urinary system
eliminates excess salt, water and waste (urinary bladder, kidney, urthr, ureter)
34
reproductive
production of sex cells and hormones (male= prostate gland, siminal gland, ductus deferns, urethra, epididymis, testis, penis, scrotum) (female= mammary gland, uterine tube, ovary, uterus, vagina, external genitalia)
35
responsiveness (irritability)
change in activity based on a stimulus
36
adaptability
long term responsiveness
37
growth
increase in size of an organism
38
differentiation
becoming specialized to perform particular functions
39
movement
ability to change the position of something
40
metabolism
all chemical reactions in the body
41
anabolism
synthesis of complex molecules
42
catabolism
breakdown of complex molecules
43
absorption
process of bringing chemicals into the body
44
respiration
the absorption, transport, and use fo oxygen in cells
45
digestion
the process fo catabolism that makes nutrients small enough to be absorbed
