Intro to A&P
Nutrients, oxygen, water, appropriate water temperature, and atmospheric pressure
What are survival needs?
The three basic parts of a cell.
What are Nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane?
The four primary tissue types.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue?
This type of gland releases their secretions to the skin surface via ducts.
What are exocrine glands?
The type of bone tissue that is dense and smooth and homogenous.
What is compact bone?
The contractile unit of a muscle fiber.
What is the sarcomere?
The subdivision of the nervous system that consists mainly of the nerves that extend from the spinal cord and brain.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
The study of how the body and its parts work or function
What is Physiology?
Passive process that involves the movements of water through aquaporins.
What is osmosis?
Connective tissue that is commonly called fat.
What is adipose?
Melanin
What is yellow marrow?
Thin myofilaments are composed of this protein
What is actin
The ion that enters the cell when a neuron is depolarized.
What is sodium?
The smallest unit of all living things.
What is the cell?
This type of transport uses ATP to move solutes against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
Avascular connective tissue.
What is cartilage?
The fibrous protein that makes the epidermis tough.
What is keratin?
The type of joint characterized by the presence of a joint cavity, ligaments, and articular Cartilage.
What is a synovial joint?
This ion is necessary for skeletal muscle contraction because it causes myosin heads to bind to actin filaments
What is calcium?
The brains four major regions.
What are the cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum?
The position where the body is erect with the feet parallel and the arms hanging at the sides with the palms facing forward.
What is anatomical position?
A selectively permeable barrier that contains the cell contents and separates them from the surrounding environment.
What is the plasma membrane?
Membrane the lines the fibrous capsule surrounding joints.
Synovial
Connect each side of the hair follicle to the dermal tissue and are responsible for "goose bumps"
What are arrector pili?
Giant bone destroying cells in bones that break down bone matrix
What is an osteoclast?
The point of muscle attachment to the movable bone.
What is the insertion?
Two centers in the brain stem that help control breathing.
What are the pons and medulla oblongata?
The body's ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions.
What is homeostasis?
The mechanism of vesicular transport that moves hormones, mucus, and certain cellular waste or product out of the cell.
What is exocytosis?
Membrane that lines the open body cavities.
What is the mucous membrane?
This type of gland makes an oily lubricant that softens the skin and kill bacteria.
What is the sebaceous gland?
The fracture type where broken bone ends are forced into each other.
What is an impacted fracture?
What is adduction?
The "rest and digest" side of the autonomic nervous system.
