A&p Ch.1 What Is Anatomy And Its Medical Terms

Front 1

Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy , what is it ?

Back 1

the study of large body structure visible to the naked eye.(examples: heart,lungs,kidneys)

Front 2

Regional anatomy ?

Back 2

All the structures in a particular region of the body, such as bones, muscles, and nerves..ect.

Front 3

systemic Anatomy?

Back 3

The body being studied system by system. ( cardiovascular system, Respiratory system..ect)

Front 4

Surface anatomy?

Back 4

when identifying the body from the surface of the skin. Masses, muscle, growths. how you view a bodybuilders body .

Front 5

Microscopic Anatomy?

Back 5

Deals with structure of the body that are too small o be seen with the naked eye.(cells, tissues)

Front 6

Histology?

Back 6

Considered a subdivision, of microscopic anatomy......deals with the study of tissues.

Front 7

Cytology?

Back 7

Also a subdivision of microscopic anatomy....deals with the study of the cells

Front 8

Developmental Anatomy?

Back 8

studies the structural changes that occur in the body throughout your life span.

Front 9

Embryology?

Back 9

subdivision of developmental anatomy, but studies developmental changes before birth.

Front 10

Pathological anatomy?

Back 10

studies structural changes caused by disease.

Front 11

Radiographic Anatomy?

Back 11

structures studied under x-ray, catscan, or any other specialized structure.

Front 12

Physiology?

Back 12

Reveals the bodies dynamic workings, how everything works together. Focuses on events at a cellular level. the cells ability to create chemical reactions and its workings.

Front 13

Renal physiology?

Back 13

deals with the kidneys and the urine production.

Front 14

Neurophysiology?

Back 14

deals with the workings of the nervous system.

Front 15

Cardiovascular physiology?

Back 15

operation of the heart and blood vessels.

Front 16

Movement?

Back 16

Activities promoted by the muscular system. (running, swimming,using our fingers).

Front 17

Contractility?

Back 17

the muscles ability to move and shorten.

Front 18

Responsiveness?

Back 18

Your ability to sense changes in the enviornment, and then responding to them. The nervous system is the most involved with responsiveness.

Front 19

Digestive system?

Back 19

Breaks down ingested food to send the nutrients to the blood stream and the whole body.

Front 20

Metabolism?

Back 20

Includes all chemical reactions that happen within the bodies cells. It breaks down substances into simpler building blocks.Uses energy and oxygen to produce ATP or energy?

Front 21

Excretion?

Back 21

Getting rid of body fluids or waste, non useful substances of the body.

Front 22

Reproduction?

Back 22

one cell seperating producing one identical to itself, used for body groth or repair, but also used to make a whole new person.Regulated by horomones

Front 23

Growth?

Back 23

increased in size body part or organism. create by increased number in cells.

Front 24

Nutrients?

Back 24

Carbohydrates are the main fuel energy for the body. calcium makes bones hard, and clots blood.

Front 25

oxygen?

Back 25

Respiratory system

Front 26

Normal body temperature?

Back 26

Must be maintained:
colder-slower metabolic reactions, till stop
Hot-chemical reactions are frantic, protiens lose there shape and stop functioning. Muscular system generates body heat.

Front 27

Atmoshperic pressure?

Back 27

Forces air into the lungs.

Front 28

Homeostasis?

Back 28

the ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions even thought the outside world changes continuously. When your body stays balanced even though conditions change. every organ plays a role in maintaining consistancy.
communication is essential for maintaining homeostasis

Front 29

what is the Receptor?

Back 29

a type of sensor that monitors the enviornment and responds to the changes called stimuli, by sending information to the second center or control center.

Front 30

What is the control center?

Back 30

Determines the set point, or whats considered balanced and level to be maintained. also determines the response or action to be taken, then the response goes to the effector.

Front 31

What is the effector?

Back 31

provides the response to the stimulus, the, response of the feedback to effect the stimulus, either reducing chemical reaction or shutting it off(Negative feedback), or inhancing chemical reaction, making it faster!(positive feedback)
