front 1 Anatomy | back 1 Studies the STRUCTURE of body and their relationships to one another |
front 2 Physiology | back 2 Concerns the FUNCTION of the body, How the body parts work and carry out their life sustaining activities |
front 3 Explain the principle of complementarity | back 3 Anatomy and physiology are individual, but they are really inseparable because function always reflects structure. What a structure can do depends on its specific form. Example: Blood flows in one direction through the heart because the heart has valves that prevent backflow. |
front 4 The different levels of structural organization and their functions | back 4 CHEMICAL LEVEL-simplest level, atoms combine to make molecules, molecules for organelles
|
front 5 The 8 necessary life functions | back 5 Maintaining boundaries, movement, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction, and growth |
front 6 The 5 survival needs for life | back 6 Nutrients, oxygen, water, appropriate temperature and atmospheric pressure |
front 7 Homeostasis | back 7 Stable, internal environment of the body |
front 8 11 organ systems | back 8 Integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive |
front 9 Homeostatic control | back 9 receptor, control center, and effector |
front 10 Negative feedback mechanisms | back 10 Body temperature, heart rate, breathing rate and depth, and blood levels of glucose, They reduce the effect of the original stimulus |
front 11 Positive feedback mechanisms | back 11 Blood clotting and labor contractions. They intensify the initial stimulus. They rarely contribute to homeostasis |
front 12 Anatomical position | back 12 The body erect, facing forward, feet slightly apart, arms at sides with palms forward |
front 13 Directional terms | back 13 Superior/inferior, anterior/posterior, ventral/dorsal; medial/lateral, intermediate; proximal/distal, and superficial/deep |
front 14 Body planes | back 14 Sagittal, frontal and transverse |
front 15 Dorsal cavity | back 15 Subdivided into the cranial and spinal cavities, contains the brain and spinal cord |
front 16 Ventral cavity | back 16 Subdivided into the thoracic cavity, which houses the heart and lungs. The abdominopelvic cavity which contains the liver, digestive organs, and reproductive structures |
