cardiovascular system
heart, blood vessels, blood/transportation of: oxygen and nutrients, carbon dioxide and waste, and hormones
anatomy
science of the body and the relationships among them
opposition
Movement of the thumb to touch the fingertips
regional anatomy
anatomy taught according to regions of the body at the same time
systemic anatomy
anatomy taught by system to system (independent of region)
dissection/prosection anatomy
where a cadaver is dissected and ready to observed
What are some divisions of anatomy?
embryology, developmental biology, and histology
What is the principle of complementarity of structure and function?
function always reflects structure
Level of organization of the body?
molecules (chemical), cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
tissue
groups of similars that have a similar function
organ
complex structure that is made up of at least 2 different tissues
epithelial tissue
covers body surfaces and lines hollow body organs, body cavities and ducts. Can form glands
connective tissue
protects and supports the body, stores energy
muscle tissue
uses ATP to be converted to mechanical energy for movement through contraction
neural tissue
detects changes in the body, communication through APs (nerve impulses)
Skeletal system
bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints /
there to support, protect, leverage(for movement), hematopoiesis, mineral storage and energy storage
adipose tissue
fat tissue that is created from yellow marrow, energy is stored in triglycerides
muscular system
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle / providing movement and heat production (thermogenesis)
lymphatic system
lymph vessels, lymph nodes, thymus gland, tonsils, and spleen/fluid control, filtration, immunity, WBC formation
Nervous system
brain, spinal cords, nerves, sense organs/communication, homeostasis
Endocrine system
hormone producing glands and cells / communication and homeostasis
homeostasis
the body’s ability to keep a relative stable environment while the external environment changes
Respiratory system
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs / gas exchange
digestive system
alimentary canal (GI tract) , salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas/mechanical and chemical breakdown of food, absorption, solid waste removal
