A&P Basics
Anatomy is to _________ as Physiology is to _________.
form; function
This system mechanically and chemically processes materials for energy and nutrients.
The digestive system.
These are the reactants of photosynthesis.
Water, carbon dioxide, & sunlight.
These are the three parts of the cell cycle.
Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
These are the two major divisions of the nervous system.
Central and Peripheral
This is the number of major body systems.
11
This system transports oxygen throughout the body.
The circulatory system.
These are the reactants for cellular respiration.
Glucose & oxygen.
These are the four stages of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (PMAT)
These are the two major types of nerves.
Neurons and glial cells
These two systems are often discussed together due to how closely tied they are to one another.
Muscular & Skeletal (Musculoskeletal)
This system is responsible for the formation of gametes.
The reproductive system.
These are the products of photosynthesis.
Glucose & oxygen.
This is the phase of mitosis where the nuclear membrane dissolves, chromosomes condense, and the mitotic spindle forms.
Prophase.
This is the space between neurons where they are able to connect and share messages.
Synapse
These are the levels of organization of an organism (in order from smallest to largest).
Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
This system secretes hormones and regulates processes in the body.
The endocrine system.
These are the products of cellular respiration.
This is the phase where the chromosome strands separate and are starting to be pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase.
The peripheral nervous system branches off into these two categories.
Somatic and autonomic
1. This is the term used to describe a part of the body that is closer to your core.
2. This is the term used to describe a part of the body that is farther away from your core.
3. These are the terms used to describe the front and back of your body.
1. Proximal
2. Distal
3. Ventral (front), Dorsal (back)
This system defends against pathogens.
The lymphatic system.
True or False?
1. Plants do both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
2. Glucose is a form of usable energy.
1. True
2. False; it must be broken down chemically to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is what acts as a usable energy source.
True or false?
1. A cell spends most of its time in interphase.
2. During cytokinesis, two new nuclei form.
3. Interphase is the first stage of mitosis.
1. True
2. False
2. False
1. The autonomic nervous system branches off into these two categories.
2. This is the difference between the two.
1. Sympathetic and parasympathetic.
2. Sympathetic is like the "fight or flight" response (increases energy usage) while parasympathetic returns the body to its normal, relaxed state (decreased energy usage).
