Massage Therapy
The existence and maintenance of a constant internal environment
Homeostasis
The functional units or all tissue. Responsible for performing all essential life functions, from synthesizing nutrients to destroying pathogens and debris. Divide via process known as mitosis. Houses organelles (structures that help regulate function of the cell)
Cells
The most abundant form of tissue in the body. Makes tendons, ligaments, fascia, bones, lymph, cartilage, and blood
Connective
They primarily carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart, where it can replace carbon dioxide with oxygen
Vein
Disease or disorder has a sudden onset, which lasts for a short period of time
Acute
More internal. The opposite of superficial
Deep
This organelle regulates the overall function of the cell. Houses DNA and RNA.
Nucleus
The tissue type that forms the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Primary cell is known as the neuron
Microscopic arteries, where gas exchange takes place between blood vessels and tissues
Capillaries
Disease or disorders are present for long periods, usually three months
Chronic
Closer to the midline
Proximal
Responsible for the produciton of ATP, the molecule that provides energy to the body by transporting chemical energy to parts of the body that require it
Mitochondria
This is the most abundant form of connective tissue in the body.
-Mainly a means of transportation for blood cells, hormones, nutrients, and waste products.
What are the 4 parts/types?
Blood
Erythrocytes
Leukocytes
Thrombocytes
Plasma
Largest part of the brain and splits into left and right hemispheres. Divided into lobes named after the bones atop them
Cerebrum
This term refers to the ability of the body to protect itself from disease and pathogens. Is it the responsibility of the immune system, which destroys foreign objects that enter the body that may produce infection or disease
Immunity
Splits the body into left or right sides, but NOT equally
Sagittal
REesponsible for breaking down several different substances inside the cell, including protein and waste products.
Lysosomes
One of the most important organ systems in the body, responsible for transportation of nutrients such as oxygen and hormones to tissues. It also allows for waste to be moved to areas of the body where it can be eliminated, such as the lungs, liver, and kidneys
Cardiovascular System
Located at the back and bottom of the brain. Responsible for regulation of muscle tone, balance, coordination, and control of general body movements
Cerebellum
Phagocyte
The upper limb can be broken down into four regions. What are they?
Arm, forearm, wrist, and hand
Found inside the cell, and is a gel-like substance. It allows organelles, nutrients, and waste products to move throughout the cell
Cytoplasm
The largest types of blood vessels are known as
Arteries
Connects the brain to the spinal cord. The midbrain, the pons, and medulla oblongata controls the vital functions of the body.
Brain stem
Upon damage to tissue, the tissue will experience this body response which starts with dilation of capillaries in the area of the trauma
Inflammation
