Anatomy &Physiology Basics
This is the study of body structures.
What is anatomy?
This system includes the skin and helps regulate body temperature
What is the integumentary system?
This plane divides the body into left and right sections.
What is the sagittal plane?
This subatomic particle carries a positive charge.
What is a proton?
This molecule is the main energy currency of the cell.
What is ATP?
This term describes the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
Bones, ligaments, and joints belong to this system
What is the skeletal system
The correct anatomical position has palms facing in this direction.
What is forward?
The pH scale measures the concentration of these ions
What are hydrogen ions (H⁺)?
This is the first step of cellular respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm
What is glycolysis?
These two types of feedback regulate homeostasis, one enhancing a stimulus and the other reversing it.
What are positive and negative feedback?
This system controls the body through electrical signals and includes the brain and spinal cord.
What is the nervous system?
This term means “closer to the head.”
What is superior?
A solution with a pH of 7 is considered this
What is neutral?
This process converts glucose into glycogen for storage.
What is glycogenesis?
The axial portion of the body includes these three regions.
What are the head, neck, and trunk?
Muscles contract to allow movement in this system.
What is the muscular system?
The frontal plane divides the body into these two halves.
What are anterior and posterior?
These two types of covalent bonds exist depending on how electrons are shared.
What are polar and nonpolar bonds
This cell organelle produces ATP through the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain.
What is the mitochondrion?
This major cavity houses the brain.
What is the cranial cavity?
This system transports oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
What is the circulatory system?
This region is located between the chest and pelvis
What is the abdominal region?
Proteins are made of these building blocks.
What are amino acids?
These two molecules transport electrons to the electron transport chain.
What are NADH and FADH₂?
