RANDOM BLACBOOK Flashcards
(106 cards)
What is anatomy?
sci - sructure - reln to its parts
What constitutes structure?
skeleton- bony framework
protects- gives shape- plsce for attachment
What is physiology
study of fx
What is a tissue
grp / layer of similar specialized cells - perform specialized fx
histology
study of strcture / arrange of tissues
CLASSIFICATION OF TISSUES
epithelial
connective
muscular
nervous
continuous layer - cover body surface / lining body cavity
fx: seucretion-absorption-secretion-sensation
epithtelial
supports + holds together other cells
Give examples
Connective tissue
Ex
bone
cartilage
tendon
ligament
fibrous ct
non living material
secreted by cells of ct
becomes bonding & supporting matl b\n cells
matrix
controls contractions of muscles
Composition?
Types?
- Muscular t
-elongated cylindrical - spindle shaped cells -small longt // contractile fibers
-skeletal
smooth
cardiac m
- fx: conduction of electochmical nerve impulses
- Why neuron cells join together
nervous tissue
-to pass impulses over long dist -body
what is mitosis
reg division of cells
ability to renew itself- growth of tiss - due to multiolication of cell members
each 2 resultant cell same # & chromos of parent
describe cell structure (7)
protoplasm - gelatin; mass of cell (protein mol-fatty matls-carbo-salts)
plasma memb- outer surf of cell; elastic cover ; regs passing of contents (nuutrients- waste-secretions)
nucleus - directs cell acts- genes-traits ; granules (chromatin)
nuclear membrane - sep from rest - regs matls in out nucleus
cytoplasm - senuifluuuid matl (drroplets, vacuuoles, granules, fibrils)
centrioles - small cylind adj to nucleus - role in cell division
endoplasmic reticula - tubuular strand - small spaghetti spread outu from cytoplasm
What is an organ
single unit of a system conp of variouusu tiss perform particular fx
what is a system
group of organ - division of labor
circulatory system
transport matls throughout body
Respiratory system
provides exchange off oxygen and co2
digestive system
provides for
intake - breakdown-absorption of food
excretory system
elimination of waste
skeletal system
body locomotion & support
muusccular system
mvmt & locomotion in conjuction w skeletal sys
nervvous system
conduucts impulses around body
& integrates activities of systems
endocrine system
coordinator of body fx
reproduuctive system
continuation of species
