(93 cards)
Atoms
Atoms: the smallest units of matter that participate in chemical reactions.
Elements of life
• 6 important elements of life: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulphur (CHONPS)
Molecules
2) Molecules: two or more atoms joined together.
Molecule (DNA)
• Large Biological molecules: Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids.
Simplest basic structural and functional unit of life
Cell
Smallest unit of matter , participate in chemical reactions
Atoms
How does each human being begin ?
- each human being begins as a single cell (fertilized egg), which divides to create 2 cells (unspecialized) and so on.
- the process of transforming an unspecialized cell into a specialized cell (epithelial cell , connective-tissue cell , neuron , muscle cell )is known as cell differentiation.
How can cells be identified in the body?
About 200 distinct kinds of cells can be identified in the body in terms of differences in structure and function.
Which there is four categories of cells based on broad structure and function
Major categories of cells :
*Four major categories of cells based on broad structure & function:
(1) epithelial cells
(2) connective-tissue cells
(3) neurons
(4) muscle cells
*In each of these functional categories, several cell types perform variations of the specialized function.
How does tissues form?
Differentiated cells with similar properties aggregate together to form tissues.
Four types of tissues:
1) epithelial tissues.
2) connective tissue.
3) nervous tissue.
4) muscle tissue.
The study of normal tissues
Histology
- note: should be normal! *
Organ.
Collection of 2 or more types of tissue that structurally form a functional unit specialized to perform a particular function.
How many organs within human body?
79 organs.
How does tissues aggregate and function in the organ stomach ?
1) inside of the stomach is lined with epithelial tissue.
2) The wall of the stomach contains smooth muscle.
3) Nervous tissue in)stomach controls muscle contraction and gland secretion
4) Connective tissue (binds) all the above tissues together
System
Groups of organs and tissues that work together to perform ⭐️common⭐️ functions in the body
Systems in the body.
*Sometimes an organ is part of more than one system
*There are 11 organ systems of the human body
1) integumentary system
2) skeletal system
3) muscular system
4) lymphatic system / Immune System
5) respiratory system
6) digestive system
7) nervous system
8) endocrine system
9) cardiovascular (circulatory) system
10) urinary system
11) reproductive systems
Major tissue in glands.
Epithelial tissues
Positions of epithelial tissues (read)
• The outermost layer of skin is composed of dead stratified
squamous epithelial cells.
•2) The mucous membranes lining the inside of mouths and body cavities.
3) The line the insides of the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive and urinary tracts.
4) Endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) is a specialized form of epithelium.
5) They make up the exocrine and endocrine glands. U)
What does The outermost layer of skin is composed of?
dead stratified squamous epithelial cells.
Mucous membranes are type of.
Epithelial membranes that consist of epithelial tissue.
What does The line the insides of the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive
and urinary tracts.
Compose of
Epithelial tissues.
What is endothelium?
The inner lining of blood vessels – it is a specialized form of epithelium.
What is the inner lining of blood vessels?
Endothelium
What type of tissues make up the exocrine and endocrine glands?
Epithelial tissues.
