Greek and Latin
What languages form the basis of the language of anatomy and physiology?
100
Tissues
Groups of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common/ related function can be defined as...
100
The skin provides a protective covering, regulates body temperature, retards water loss from deeper tissues, houses sensory receptors, synthesizes various biochemicals, and excretes small quantities of waste.
The largest organ of the body is skin. Name four of its main functions.
100
Spongy Bone
This type of bone consists of numerous bony plates. Irregular connecting spaces between these plates help reduce the bone's weight.
100
Fascia
Layers of fibrous connective tissue separate an individual skeletal muscle from adjacent muscles and hold it in position. This connective tissue surrounds each muscle and may project beyond its end to form a cord-like tendon. What is this object called?
200
Knee, thigh, or calf/shin
Name a body part that is superior to a foot but is inferior to the hips.
200
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous Tissue
Name the four main types of tissue.
200
Subcutaneous, Dermis, Epidermis
Name the layers of skin from the very inside layer to the superficial layer.
200
Greenstick, Fissured, Comminuted, Transverse, Oblique, and Spiral Fracture
Name the different types of bone fractures (Hint: There's 6 of them)
200
The sliding filament model is the way sarcomeres shorten. thick and thin filaments do not change length. Rather, they slide past one another with the thin filaments sliding toward the center of the sarcomere from both ends.
Explain what the sliding filament model is.
300
Homeostasis
This insures the maintenance of a stable internal environment and the body must undergo this in order to survive.
300
Epithelial tissues lack blood vessels. Nutrients diffuse to epithelium from underlying connective tissues that are abundant in blood vessel supply.
What is it that epithelial tissues lack and which tissue diffuses nutrients to the epithelium?
300
Melanin
This is a dark pigment that provides skin color and absorbs ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, preventing mutations in the DNA of skin cells and other damaging effects.
300
Yellow marrow
This type of marrow stores fat and is not active in blood cell production.
300
Creatine Phosphate
What molecule converts ATP into ADP?
400
The pelvic cavity
This is the portion of the abdomen contains the internal reproductive organs and the urinary bladder.
400
Connective Tissue
This type of tissue binds structures, provides support and protection, serves as frameworks, fills spaces, stores fat, produces blood cells, protects against infections and helps repair tissue damage. They are also farther apart than epithelial cells and have an abundance of extra-cellular matrix between them.
400
The lunula of a nail.
The whitish, thickened, half-moon-shaped region at the base of a nail plate covers the most actively covered region. What is this structure called?
400
It is the process of blood cell formation that begins in the yolk sac which lies outside the human embryo.
Define hematopoiesis.
400
Origin is the immovable end of the muscle (the point of attachment) and insertion is the movable end.
Describe the difference between origin and insertion.
500
When body temperature is low the result is shivering. When the body temperature is high the result is sweating.
How is body temperature maintained at 37 degrees celsius or 98.6 degrees fahrenheit?
500
Ligaments connect bone to bone while tendons connect muscle to bone. Collagenous fibers are important components of these body parts that hold structures together.
What is the difference between ligaments and tendons?
500
Granulations
In large, open wounds, healing may be accompanied by formation of small, rounded masses that develop in the exposed tissues. What is the name of these masses?
500
22 Bones
How many bones is the skull composed that are firmly interlocked along sutures except for the lower jaw?
500
Deltoid, Biceps Brachii, Brachialis and Brachioradialis
Name three muscles of the arm.
