nervous and endocrine systems adjust the activities of many different systems
negative and positive feedback loops
Back
what does bilateral symmetry mean?
Front
There are two equal sides to an animal and can only be divided by one plane
left and right side are mirror images
Back
explain the basal and apical surfaces
Front
apical has projections such as microvilli and cilia, and basal edge is what holds to the basal lamina
Back
nervous system functions
Front
directs immediate responses to stimuli
coordinates or moderates activities of other organ systems
provides and interprets sensory information about external conditions
provides support and protection for other tissues, stores calcium and other minerals
forms blood cells
Back
muscular system functions
Front
Provides movement
Provides protection and support for other tissues
Generates heat that maintains body temperature
Back
what is autoregulation? (intrinsic)
Front
adjusts automatically in response to environmental change (cells and tissues)
Back
endocrine system functions
Front
directs long-term changes in the activities of other organ systems
adjusts metabolic activity and energy use by the body
controls many structural and functional changes during development
Back
integumentary system function
Front
protect against environmetal hazards
helps regulate body temperature
provides sensory information
individual region approach
focusing on the head only of the foot
Back
hemidesmosomes junction
Front
Back
Negative feedback loop
Front
A feedback loop that causes a system to change in the opposite direction from which it is moving
corrective
tries to bring the change back to normal
ie: pancreas function and glucose levels
individual system approach
the skin, or lymphatic system
Back
What is anatomy?
Front
the study of structure and form
how we look
Back
what is microscopic anatomy?
Front
cells (cytology) ad tissues (histology)
need a microscope (cant see with the naked eye)
Back
Gap junction
Front
Back
Male repro function
Front
produces male sex cells (sperm)and hormones
Back
skeletal system major organs
Front
bones
cartilages
associated ligaments
bone marrow
Back
what is macroscopic anatomy?
Front
large body--> the organs
can see with the unaided eye
Back
The respiratory system functions
Front
devlivers are to alveoli (lung gas exchange)
provides oxygen to the blood stream
removes carbon dioxide from bloodstream
produces sounds for communication
Back
The lymphatic System Functions
Front
defends against infection and disease
returns tissue fluids to the bloodstream
Back
why is homeostasis important?
Front
it maintains a constant internal equilibrium in order for the cells in the body to live and function properly.
Back
muscular system major organs
Front
skeletal muscles and associated tendons
Back
Tight junction
Front
Back
what are the 3.5 intercellular connections
Front
1. Gap junction (tubular channel proteins: water and ions can pass through)
2. Tight junction (protein hold the lipid layer of two cell membranes together: no leakage)
3. Desmosome (filament proteins at like Velcro: can stretch)
.5 Hemidesmosome (links cells to the basal membrane)
Back
The urinary system major organs
Front
kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
Back
cardiovascular system functions
Front
distributes blood cells, water, and dissolved materials, including nutrients, waste products, oxygen and carbon dioxide
distributes heat and assists in control of body temperature (blood dilation)
Back
how are anatomy and physiology related?
Front
knowledge of structure convey information about function. Need to understand the structure to really understand the function.
Back
Female repro function
Front
produces female sex cell(egg) and hormones
supports developing embryo from conception to delivery
provides milk to nourish newborn infant
Back
Desmosome junction
Front
Back
what is the basal lamina
Front
network of fibers that attaches the epithelial tissue to the connective tissue. Is for protection and a barrier.
Back
What are epithelial tissue characteristics?
Front
cellularity (composed of lots of cells)
avascularity (lacks blood vessels but acquires nutrients through diffusion
Polarity (orientation is fixed, apical and basal surface)
Regeneration (continuously replacing itself)
Attachment (attaches to the basal lamina: holds epithelial to the connective tissue underneath)
Back
The digestive system major organs
Front
teeth, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
Back
The digestive system function
Front
processes and digests food
absorbs and conserves water
absorbs nutrients
stores energy reserves
excretes waste products from the blood
controls water balance by regulating volume of urine produced
stores urine prior to voluntary elimination
regulates blood ion concentrations and pH
Back
cardiovascular system major organs
Front
heart
blood
blood vessels
Back
endocrine system major organs
Front
pituitary gland
thyroid gland
pancreas
adrenal glands
gonads (testes and ovaries)
endocrine tissues in other systems
Back
Simple epithelia
Front
one layer
fragile
lines the internal compartment and passage ways
Back
Positive feedback loop
Front
Causes a system to change further in the same direction.
increases the deviation from normal
ie: labor and the affects of cortisol levels
