Intro to the Human Body
This is the study of the body and how its individual parts function in normal body processes
Physiology
This outermost layer of the skin is composed of epithelial tissue
Epidermis
These are the two main divisions of the nervous system
Central and Peripheral
This term means "heat production"
Thermogenesis
This is the number of bones in a typical adult human body
206
This is the least complex level of organism organization
Chemical
These cells produce a dark pigment in the skin
Melanocytes
This is the fatty covering of the axons that help increase conduction rate and insulate the neurons
Myelin sheath
These are the two main myofilaments that are responsible for muscle contraction
Actin and myosin
This is where blood cell production (hematopoesis) takes place
Red bone marrow
This passive cellular process moves water and molecules across a cell membrane due to pressure
Filtration
This protein found in the true skin layer gives skins pliability and resiliency
Elastin
These are the three parts of a neuron
Axon, dendrites, cell body
This is the neurotransmitter stored in motor neuron vesicles that initiate muscle contraction
Acetylcholine (ACH)
This tissue covers the epiphysis of bones, allowing them to easily articulate with each other
Hylaine/articular cartilage
These are the three layers of embryologic tissue
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
A carotene skin pigmentation may be due to what disease?
Jaundice
These are the three layers of the meninges
Pia mater, dura mater, arachnoid mater
This structural classification of muscles contain large amounts of mitochondria, myoglobin, and blood capillaries
Type 1; red muscles
This functional classification of joints are slightly moveable, allowing for specific skeletal movements
Amphiarthrotic
These cells are used in active transport, transported by vesicles, and are responsible for "cell eating"
Phagocytes
This is the cresent-shaped white area at the base of the nail
Lunula
This is the cerebral lobe that is responsible for proprioception and taste, and contains the somatosensroy cortex
Parietal
This class of muscle lever functions like a seesaw or pair of scissors (load, fulcrum, pull)
Class 1
This synovial accessory structure helps irregularly shaped bones fit together and articulate
Meniscus
