Unit 1
The study of the structure of the body and body parts.
What is Anatomy?
A type of muscle that is striated and involuntary.
What is Cardiac Muscle?
Type of joint found between the flat bones of the skull.
What is a suture joint?
Senses that have receptors located exclusively in the head.
What are special senses?
A positively charged subatomic particle.
What is a proton?
The abdominal region of the body marked by the belly button.
What is the Umbilical Region?
The base found in RNA only.
What is Uracil?
The movement of the arm away from the midline of the body.
What is Abduction?
Pressure stabilizing apparatus that connects the throat to the middle ear.
What is the Auditory Tube?
A chemical bond formed between a partially positive Hydrogen atom and a partially negative Oxygen or Nitrogen atom. It is a relatively weak bond.
What is a hydrogen bond?
7.35 - 7.45
What is the normal pH range for blood?
The major cell type of connective tissue, that produce fibers in extracellular matrix.
What are Fibroblasts?
The two divisions of the Efferent division of the PNS.
What are Somatic and Autonomic?
Receptors activated when temperatures drop below 10C or exceed 45C.
What are Pain Receptors?
The main energy source for muscle contraction. Created via cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
The organelle in which the majority of the metabolic processes in cellular respiration take place.
What is the mitochondria?
A unique type of epithelial tissue composed of special cells that allow for the stretching of the tissue. Found most often in the urinary bladder.
What is Transitional Epithelium?
The place in which a motor neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on a muscle fiber, initiating a contraction.
What is the Neuromuscular Junction?
The two types of receptors in the body that most often experience Sensory Adaptation.
What are Chemoreceptors and Thermoreceptors?
Number of rib pairs in the human body.
What is 12?
An atomic bond in which charged atoms form a bond after the movement of electrons.
What is an ionic bond?
The immature cells found within bone tissue. Will eventually become osteocytes.
What are osteoblasts?
The largest and most complex synovial joint in the body.
What is the Knee Joint?
The part of the inner ear responsible for maintaining Static Equilibrium.
What is the Vestibule?
A disorder of the sebaceous glands where sebum is over produced.
What is Acne Vulgaris?
