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
