Module 1 & 2 Flashcards
(40 cards)
Study of large body structures visible to the naked eye
Gross Anatomy
Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide
Respiratory System
Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, waste, etc.
Cardiovascular System
Body structures are examined system by system
Systemic
Studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another
Anatomy
Requires transport proteins that combine specifically and reversibly with the transported substances
Active Transport
Studies the function of the body, how the parts work, and carry out their life0sustaining activities
Physiology
Division of the nucleus; series of events that parcels out the replicated DNA of the parent cell to two daughter cells
Mitosis
Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from body
Urinary System
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression.
Muscular System
The fast-acting control system of the body
Nervous System
Sheets of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity
Epithelial Tissue
Traces structural changes that occur throughout the life span
Developmental
Elaborate network of rods running through the cytosol and hundreds of accessory proteins that link these rods to other cell structures.
Cytoskeleton
“Voltage”, electrical potential energy resulting from the separation of oppositely charged particles
Membrane Potential
Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use.
Endocrine System
Cell surface proteins that mediate the interaction between cells, or between cell and the extracellular matrix (ECM)
Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs)
Under Physiology; Coordinate basic life support activities
Neurophysiology
System of organelles that work together to produce, degrade, store, and export biological molecules
Endomembrane System
Ability of body to maintain relatively stable internal conditions
Homeostasis
Under Physiology; Heart and Lungs
Cardiovascular Physiology
Cell material between the plasma membrane and the nucleus, “Cell Forming Material”
Cytoplasm
Period of cell formation to cell division
Interphase
Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement.
Skeletal System
