Organ
A structure that is made up of two or more kinds of tissues that can together perform a more complex function than a single tissue
Organ system
Group of organs that perform a more complex function than can any organ alone (cardiovascular, cardio-pulmonary, musculoskeletal)
Primary function of integumentary
protection (or protecting the body)
Integumentary system includes
only one organ, the skin
Skin structures include
hair, nails, sweat and oil glands
Skin
has many appendages
Bones
organ of the skeletal system
Bones in the skeleton
206
Cartilage
it connects and cushions bones
Ligaments
bands of fibrous tissue that hold the bones together & is part of the skeletal system
Joints
connections between bones that make movement possible
Skeletal system functions
supports frame work for the entire body, protects the brain & internal organs, movement, formation of blood cells& storages minerals
Muscles
primary organs, and mostly made up of skeletal muscle
voluntary muscle of the muscular system is
skeletal muscles
The primary organs of the digestive system form a tube called the
gastrointestinal tract.
Which of these glands is/are located in the skull
Pituitary gland & Pineal gland
The primary function of the cardiovascular system is
transportation
Alveoli are found in the
lymphatic system
the female external genitalia
Vulva
Urinary system- function
“Clearing” or cleaning blood of waste products
excreted from the body as urine
electrolyte blance
water blance
acid base blance
Structure of urinary system
kideneys, ureters, bladder, urethra
synthesize vitamin D
the skin
Health
physical, mental, and social well-being nor merely the absence of disease
disease
an abnormality on body function that threatens health
etiology
study of the factors that cause a disease
idiopathic
a disease with unknown cause
signs and symptoms
object & subjective abnormalities associated with a disease
pathogensis
pattern of a disease development
Epidemiology
he study of occurrence, distribution, and transmission of diseases in human populations
Endemic
diseases are native to a local region
Epidemics
occur when a disease affects many people at the same time
Pandemics
are widespread, perhaps global, epidemics
When signs and symptoms of a disease appear suddenly, persist for a short time, then disappear, the disease is said to be
acute
The actual pattern of a disease’s development is called its
pathogenesis
The most significant strategy for combating disease is
therapy, prevention
Conditions caused by psychological factors are sometimes called
psychogenic
Microscopic organisms that include bacteria, fungi, and protozoa are called
microbes
Prions
pathogenic protein molecules that convert normal protein to abnormal proteins.
Where would you find most pathogenic fungi?
on or near the skin or mucous membranes
A vector of the disease is
an organism that spreads disease to other organisms.
An attenuated pathogen that is given to a person to stimulate immunity is called a
vaccine
Malignant tumors that arise from epithelial tissues generally are called
carcinomas
What is the oldest and most widely used method of noninvasive imaging of the internal body structures?
Radiography
The movement of white blood cells in response to chemical attractants is called
chemotaxis
Thin, sheetlike structures that cover and protect the body surface are called
cells
The two major types of body membranes are
epithelial and connective tissue.
Inflammation of the serous membrane in the abdominal cavity is called
peritonitis
The serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity is called the
parietal pleura
Epithelial membranes that line body surfaces opening directly to the exterior are
mucous membranes.
The skin is composed of the following layers of tissue.
Epidermis and dermis
A tough, waterproof material that protects the outer layer of the skin is
keratin
The basic determinant of skin color is
melanin
10. The upper region of the dermis is characterized by parallel rows of tiny bumps called
dermal papillae
The hair of a newborn infant is soft and fine and is called
lanugo
Sweat glands can be classified as
eccrine and apocrine.
The secretion from hair follicles that helps lubricate the hair and skin is
sebum
The lamina propria is found
underlying epithelium in mucous membranes.
The tough keratinized layer of the skin is the
stratum corneum.
“Goose pimples” are caused by this structure.
The arrector pili
20. A typical sunburn would be classified as what degree of burn?
a. First-degree
