Intro to A&P
The study of the body's structural parts, their forms, and how they are organized.
The simplest example of matter with specific chemical properties.
What is an Element?
A semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids which orient their heads facing intercellularly and extracellularly while the tails face each other.
What is the Cell Membrane?
Osmosis, diffusion, and filtration are all examples of this type of transport which does not use energy.
What is Passive Transport?
This type of muscle tissue is striated in appearance and is responsible for contracting our heart for pumping of the blood.
What is Cardiac Muscle?
This characteristic of life is defined as an increase in cell number and increase in body size
What is Growth?
Sodium giving an electron to Chlorine to form the compound NaCl is an example of this type of chemical bond.
What is an Ionic Bond?
The double membrane organelle that stores ATP and is the site of cellular respiration.
What is Mitochondria?
Movement of substances from regions of high pressure to low pressure through holes or pores
What is Filtration?
This epithelial tissue is described as a single layer of thin, flattened cells.
What is Simple Squamous?
This body cavity houses the spinal cord.
What is the Vertebral Cavity?
Any substance that is referred to as an electrolyte that actively releases hydrogen ions (H+) into a solution.
What is an Acid?
This organelle houses the enzymes that catalyze reactions such as the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide and detoxifying alcohol.
What is Peroxisomes?
The pressure needed to lift a volume of water
What is Osmotic Pressure?
Blood is an example of what type of tissue?
What is Connective?
This plane divides the body into anterior and posterior.
What is the Frontal Plane?
The number of protons in any given element would be represented by this.
What is the Atomic Number?
This organelle is described as stacks of flattened membranous sacs that package proteins for transport.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
Movement of solids into the cell by forming a vesicle from a small portion of the cell’s membrane.
What is Phagocytosis?
Glands that secrete their products into ducts that open onto surfaces such as skin.
What are Exocrine Glands?
The palmar region is ______ to the antecubital region.
What is Distal?
This type of organic compound functions in storing information for protein synthesis and controlling cellular activities.
What are Nucleic Acids?
This controls the passage of materials between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
What is the Nuclear Envelope?
A human body cell is placed into this type of solution causing it to swell and have a net gain of fluid in the cytoplasm.
What is Hypotonic Solution?
This cell, found in connective tissues, functions in the release of heparin and histamine in an effort to promote inflammation.
What is a Mast Cell?
