Intro to the Body
The body as a whole is a unit constructed of smaller units that are organized in these levels
What is an atom to a molecule to a cell to tissue to an organ to a system to an organism
This bond forms when oppositely charged ions attract each other
What is an ionic bond
In this phase of mitosis a cell is not actively dividing
What is interphase
Epithelial tissue is classified by these two arrangements of cells
What are simple and stratified
This system's structure is tissue that can attach to bones and can be found within different organ walls. Movement is it's primary function
What is the muscular system
This lengthwise plane divides a structure into right and left sections
What is the sagittal plane
These bonds form when atoms share their outer energy ions to become stable
What is a covalent bond
The reproduction of cells involving division of the nucleus and cytoplasm
What is mitosis
This tissue functions as a rapid communication between body structures and has control of body functions
What is nervous tissue
These two systems are classified as one and protect the body's internal environment from harmful bacteria and pathogens
What is the lymphatic system and the immune system
This lengthwise plane divides a structure into anterior and posterior sections
What is the frontal or coronal plane
These form chemical systems that absorb excess acids or bases and maintain a relatively stable pH
This part of the cell is composed of a thin, two-layered coating made up of phospholipids containing proteins
What is the plasma membrane
This connective tissue's matrix is fluid and has transportation and protective functions
What is blood
This system recognizes sensory stimuli and is structurally made up of 2 systems
What is the nervous system
The body uses this particular mechanism most often to maintain and restore homeostasis
What are negative feedback loops
The nucleotides that make up nucleic acids are composed of these key structures
what is a phosphate unit, a sugar, and a nitrogen base
This is the process of transferring genetic information from nucleus to cytoplasm where proteins are produced and requires the completion of transcription and translation
What is protein synthesis
This stratified epithelium is made up of up to 10 layers of roughly cuboidal cells that distort to a squamous shape when stretched
What is stratified transitional epithelium
This system uses chemical signaling to communicate between, and integrate and control body functions.
What is the endocrine system
This is the most important characteristic of body structure
What is organization
This chemical catalyst is a very large molecule made up of amino acids held together in long, folded chains by peptide bonds (DAILY DOUBLE) helps chemical reactions occur
What is an enzyme
DAILY DOUBLE: What is a protein
This organelle is made up of two tiny subunits of rRNA and manufactures protein compounds
What is a ribosome
This type of muscle tissue is also called striated or involuntary because it exhibits visible striations under a microscope and cannot control contractions. It is only found in one particular location of the body.
What is cardiac muscle tissue
With these two systems working together, they maintain the body's fluid balance and acid-base equilibrium
What is the respiratory system and the urinary system
