Chapter 40 Flashcards
___________________ is the study of the structure of living organisms and how all of an organisms body parts relate to each other
anatomy
___________________ is the study of the function of living organisms and the mechanisms by which all of the body parts work.
physiology
_________________ reflects _________________
function, structure
what a body part can do depends on its form
physical laws impose ________________________antomy in its particular enviroment
constraints on an animals
Physiology is affected by _____________
physical laws
_________________ of unrelated animals represents adaptation by way of natural selection to these enviromental constraints
convergent evolution
animal anatomy and physiology are organized into a _________________________
structural and functional hierarchy
what is the animal structural and functional hierarchy
- organism
- organ system
- organs
- tissue
- cells
all animal cells form _____________________ within its body
4 tissue types
4 tissue types
- epithelial
- connective
- muscle
- nervous
_________________ covers the body’s outer surface and lines its internal cavities
epithelial
____________________ binds and supports the body’s organs
connective tissue
_______________________ enables movement
muscle tissue
____________ enables communication among the bodys organs
nervous tissue
general location of epidermis
covers the body surface and lines the bodys internal cavities
two general functions of epithelial tissue
- protection
- passage of substances
in epithelial tissue their are rows of cells
held tightly together with little extracellular matrix
_____________ distinct cell surfaces
polarity
________________ upper surface is exposed to external enviroment or to internal cavity
apical surface
_______________________ lower surface attaches to basment membrane
basal surface
______________ surfaces to join to neighboring cells
lateral side surfaces
epithelial tissue is allows attached to underlaying ________________
connective tissue
______________________ is the boundary between the epithelial and connective tissue
basement membrane
epithelial tissue is ______________ meaning no blood vessels.
