Chapter 1
The study of the structures and shape of the body and its parts
The study on how they work.
What is Anatomy and Physiology
Prevents cells from being pulled apart
What is the desmosome
-Keeps body hydrated
-Protects body from harm
-Produces new skin cells and contains melanin
What is the Epidermis
Movement, Protection, producing blood cells, stores and releases, supports body
What are the functions of the skeletal system
-Brain and Spinal Cords
-Cranial and Spinal Nerve
Atoms combine to form molecules
What is the chemical level (structural levels)
Cells that cover and line body organs
What are Epithelial cells
Helps maintain homeostasis by stabilizing body temperature.
What is the Eccrine Sweat Gland
Long, short, flat, irregular
What are four different classifications of the bone
Sensory input; changes;
What is stimuli
Brain, Spinal cord, peripheral news.
What is the Nervous System
A solution has has the same concentration of solutes as another solution
What is Isotonic
Vitamin D, protection, temperature regulation, sebum secretion,
Where blood cell formation happens
What is the Medullary cavity
Cardiac, Smooth, Skeletal muscle cell
What are the 3 types of muscles
Toward the backside of the body
What is Proximal
Type of tissue: Found everywhere in the body
What are connective tissues
longer, thicker, and darker hair that grows on the head.
What is terminal hair
Oval that fits in trough, allows movement in one axis (Ankle)
What is the Hinge Joint
Typically triangular or or fan shaped; Allows for maximum force production
Convergent Fascicle
Detects change
What are the receptors (homeostasis)
The process by which water molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
What is Osmosis
-Serves as a physiological barrier from external agents including bacteria fungi & chemicals while preventing the loss of fluids and solutes from the internal environment
What is the Stratum Corneum
Hematoma, Fibrocartilage callus, Bony callus, Remodeling
Two rows of muscle fibers facing in opposite diagonal directions with a central tendon like a feather; Allows even greater power but less range of motion
What is the Bipennate fascicles
