18
Q

A type of tissue that is highly specialized to contraction and body movement.

A

MUSCULAR TISSUE

19
Q

Is the “meat” or flesh of the body and is found attached to bones and ligaments.

A

SKELETAL, VOLUNTARY OR STRIATED MUSCLE

20
Q

Three Basic Types of Muscle Tissue

A

SKELETAL, VOLUNTARY, or STRIATED MUSCLE
VISCERAL, INVOLUNTARY, or SMOOTH MUSCLE
CARDIAC MUSCLE

21
Q

Is found mainly in the walls of hollow organs (digestive and urinary tract organs, uterus, and blood vessels)

A

VISCERAL, INVOLUNTARY, SMOOTH MUSCLE

22
Q

Is a type of tissues which make up the substance of nerves and nerve centers which is made up of two major cell populations.

A

NERVOUS TISSUE

23
Q

Are special supporting cells that protect, support and insulate the more delicate neurons.

A

NEUROGLIA

24
Q

Are highly specialized to receive stimuli (excitability) and to generate electrical signals that may be sent to all parts of the body.

A

NEURONS

25
Q

Is a structure composed of two or more tissue types that performs a specific function for the body.

A

ORGANS

26
Q

Is a group of organs that act together to perform a particular body function.

A

ORGAN SYSTEMS

27
Q

What are the 11 Systems of the Body

A

NERVOUS SYSTEM
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
URINARY SYSTEM
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
SKELETAL SYSTEM
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

28
Q

Include the heart, blood vessels and blood that functions primarily as a transport system that carries blood containing oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, ions, hormones and other substances to and from the tissue cells where exchanges are made

A

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

29
Q

Is concerned with ingestion, digestion and absorption of food or nutrition.

A

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

30
Q

Helps maintain body homeostasis, promotes growth and development

A

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

31
Q

Includes all the skeletal or voluntary muscles. The primary function is to contract or shorten

A

MUSCULAR SYSTEM

32
Q

Allows body to detect changes in its internal and external environment and to respond to such information by activating appropriate muscles or glands.

A

NERVOUS SYSTEM

33
Q

It provides germ cells called sperm and it provides also germ cells called eggs.

A

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

34
Q

Function to support the body and protect internal organs. It also provides levers for muscular action.

A

SKELETAL SYSTEM

35
Q

The function is it rids the body of nitrogen-containing wastes including urea, uric acid and ammonia.

A

URINARY SYSTEM

36
Q

Their function is to pick up fluid leaked from the blood vessels and return it to the blood. It cleanses blood of pathogens and other debris.

A

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

37
Q

It protect deeper organs from mechanical, chemical and bacterial injury.

A

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM

38
Q

Cavity lies in front of the vertebral column.

A

BODY CAVITY

39
Q

The 3 Main Body Cavities

A

THORACIC CAVITY
ABDOMINAL CAVITY
PELVIC CAVITY

40
Q

Occupies the upper part of the body and is enclosed by the chest wall.

A

THORACIC CAVITY

41
Q

Is a dome-shaped muscular partition between the thoracic and abdominal cavity.

A

DIAPHRAGM

42
Q

Extends from the under surface of the diaphragm to the pelvic bones.

A

ABDOMINAL CAVITY

43
Q

Is encircled by the bones of the pelvis and extends from the pelvic inlet to the floor of the pelvis.

A

PELVIC CAVITY
