The science of body functions; how the body parts work
What is Physiology
100
Organelle that contains genes that control cellular structure and direct most cellular activities
What is Nucleus
100
A type of tissue that covers body surfaces; lines body cavities, hollow organs, and ducts; and forms glands
What is Epithelial Tissue
100
A type of bone that is somewhat cube-shaped and nearly equal in lenth and width. Examples are wrist and ankle bones
What are Short Bones
100
This type of joint occurs in the knee, elbow, and between the phalanges of the fingers. It produces an angular, opening-and-closing motion like that of a hinged door
What is Hinge Joint
200
The first level of organization that includes atoms and molecules
What is Chemical Level
200
Lipid bilayer that forms a cell's outer surface, separating the internal environment from its external environment. It regulates the flow of material into and out of the cell to maintain the environment for normal cellular activities and plays a role in communication among cells and between cells.
What is Plasma Membrane
200
A type of epithelial tissue that consists of a single layer of flat cells that function in diffusion or filtration
What is Simple Squamous
200
The distal and proximal ends of the bone
What is Epiphyses
200
The movement of a bone away from the midline
What is Abduction
300
The mainentance of relatively stable conditions
What is Homeostasis
300
Organelle that consists of outer and inner membranes, cristae, and a matrix and is the site of reactions that produce most of a cell's ATP (aka "Powerhouse" of the cell)
What is Mitochondrian
300
The deeper part of the skin consisting of connective tissue and glands
What is Dermis
300
The bone-building cells that synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the matrix of bone tissue
What is Osteoblasts
300
A type of muscle that is involuntary and each fiber has a single, oval, centrally located nucleus. This muscle can be found in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract.
What is Smooth Muscle
400
The force of attraction between ions of opposite charges
What is Ionic Bond
400
Movement of substances down a concentration gradient until equililbrium is reached; do not require cellular energy in the form of ATP
What is Passive Transport
400
The pigment that causes the skin's color to vary from pale yellow to tan to black
What is melanin
400
This bone forms the posterior part and most of the base of the cranium
What is Occipital Bone
400
The muscle that abducts, flexes, extends, and rotates arm at the shoulder. The main shoulder muscle
What is Deltoid
500
A type of organic compound that includes sugars, glycogen, stach, and cellulose and contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
What is Carbohydrate
500
Composed of water, solutes, suspended particles, and glycogen granules, and is the medium in which many of the cell's chemical reactions occur
What is Cytosol
500
An accessory structure of the integumentary system that is connected to hair follicles and secretes oil onto the skin's surface
What is Sebaceous Gland (aka Oil Gland)
500
Five bones of the foot
What are Metatarsals
500
The muscle that flexes the leg at knee joints and plantar flexes the foot. The main calf muscle
