Areas of Study
The study of the body & its relationship to its parts
What is Anatomy
the basic cellular components that perform specific functions within a cell . Examples are mitochondria, lysosomes, and cell nuclei
Organelle
transport of substances in or out of a cell using energy
Active transport
The type of cell division in which the cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells
Mitosis
Regulation of blood flow through the cardiovascular system, propelling food through the gut, and squeezing secretions from glands describes this type of muscle or fibers
Smooth Tissue
The Study of internal organs & structures that can be recognized and related to external features that can be seen on the outside of the body
What is Surface Anatomy
Basic substance between cells of a tissue
Ground Substance
a compound that stores energy
Adenosine Triphosphate
The type of cell division in which each daughter cell receives half the normal number of chromosomes forming two reproductive cells
Meiosis
Large cross striated cells that make up muscles connected to the skeleton under voluntary control of the nervous system
Skeletal Tissue
The study of body structures visible to the naked eye
What is Gross Anatomy
a network of tubular intracellular membranes that is connected to the nuclear membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The energy process in the body that joined simple compounds to form complex compounds of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Anabolism
the chemical process in the body that converts food and oxygen into energy to support growth, distribution of nutrients, an elimination of waste
Metabolism
Substances that have carbon and hydrogen as part of their basic structure
Organic Compounds
The study of the structure of a particular body system
What is Systemic
Material enclosed by the Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
the chemical process in the body that releases energy as complex compounds are broken down into similar ones
Catabolism
Part of the cell that holds the RNA & DNA material
Nucleus
covering and protecting the surface of the body and its parts, lining body cavities, and forming glands
Epithelial
Study of life
What is Biology
composed of amorphous ground substance consisting of molecules that expand when water molecules and electrolytes bind to them
Matrix
The capacity to do work. Active transport is the movement of substances into or out of a cell using this.
Energy
Part of the cell that holds just the RNA material
Nucleolus
muscle tissue that is used to create force and contract
Cross Striated Tissue
