What is Anatomy?
The Study of Structure
100
What is physiology?
The study of function?
100
What are the three body planes?
Frontal, Sagittal, and Transverse/Cross section
100
Name 6 out of 11 body systems
RUNDERCLISM!!!!!
Reproductive, Urinary, Nervous, Digestive, Endocrine, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, integumentary, skeletal, and muscular
100
What is the name for a brain cell?
Neuron
200
What is Gross Anatomy and What is Comparative Anatomy?
Gross anatomy refers to anatomy that you can see with the naked eye while comparative anatomy is when other species are referenced/compared.
200
How are anatomy and physiology related?
Form usually determines function.
200
What does viscera, pleural, pericardial, and cranial refer to?
Organs, Lungs, Heart, and Brain
200
What are the principle organs of the circulatory system?
Heart and Blood Vessels
200
What are the parts of a neuron called?
The neuron has a nucleus, dendrites which are shorter branch like fibers extending from the cell, and an axon which is similar to a long tail with axon terminals (short branches) at the end
300
What is radiology and list some common forms of radiology?
Radiology is another word for medical imaging (most of which uses radioactive substances).
Examples include : CT, MRI, Ultrasound, X-Rays
300
List three subdivisions of physiology.
Renal, Neuro, and cardiovascular physiology
300
What does Axial and Appendicular Body Regions refer to?
Axial: Head, Neck, and Trunk
Appendicular (Appendages): Arm, Forearm, Wrist, Hand, finger, thigh, Leg, crural, ankle, tarsal, foot, and toes.
300
What is the function of the skeletal system and how does its structure help it do that?
The skeletal system is meant to protect the viscera of the body, and to do this, the bones that compose the skeletal system are both durable and flexible to absorb shock and damage while keeping the viscera safe
300
What term refers to the physical connection made between two neurons?
Synapses
400
Name the three cavities in the upper body?
Cranial Cavity (Brain and Spinal Cord), Thoracic Cavity (Heart, Lungs, Trachea) and Abdominopelvic Cavity (everything else)
400
What is positive feedback mechanisms and give examples.
Self-amplifying cycle where deviation from set point (optimal state) leads to further deviation.
Examples include blood clotting, protein digestion, EXPELLING A HUMAN OUT OF THE WOMB
400
What are the coverings/membranes of the heart called?
Visceral pericardium (Inner lining), Pericardial cavity (space in between linings), and Parietal Pericardium
400
Name three body systems and how they work together.
E.G. Respiratory system takes in oxygen and gives it to the blood in our body, the circulatory system pumps blood and allows it to move through out our body which provides the muscular system with the materials it needs to help us move around and perform bodily functions.
400
When are synapses actually made? (Name the phase if possible)
R.E.M Sleep
500
How does reductionism and holism view/understand the body differently?
Reductionism has a bottom-up approach where understanding the PARTS will help understand the BODY.
Holism has a top-down approach, where we are more than a sum of our parts, (e.g. alcohol can affect people differently in different situations).
500
How does our body maintain its temperature (homeostasis) through feedback mechanisms?
There are receptors in the body that send a message to the control center (brain) whenever temperature exceeds normal limits, the body would then have blood vessels go through vasoconstriction or vasodilation to return to optimal temperatures.
500
Give the anatomical name and for all the words below and one sentence that uses directional terminology in reference to said words.
Arm, forearm, wrist, hand, fingers/toes, thigh, leg, ankle, and foot
Arm (brachial), forearm (ante brachial), wrist (carpal), hand(manual), fingers/toes (digits), thigh (femoral), leg (crural), ankle (tarsal), foot (pedal)
E.G. The elbow is proximal to the wrist
500
How does the respiratory system interact with the circulatory system, and what would happen if the respiratory system couldn't do its job?
The respiratory system provides oxygenated blood for the circulatory system to distribute to the rest of the body.
If the respiratory system couldn't do its job, the blood in our bodies wouldn't have the oxygen required to function properly and we would die.
500
What is the process of creating a synapse, how does learning/studying help with that process?
When you learn/study, the axons and dendrites of neurons grow and when you are in REM sleep, the axon terminals and dendrites of two neurons physically connect to form synapses.
