Define Anatomy

The branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts

100

The levels of organization in the human body

atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the human organism

100

Functions and organs involved in the Respiratory system.

function: Breathing


Organs included: Lungs, Trachea

100

Metabolism

The chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy

100

Explain where the axial and appendicular sections of the body are. 

Axial: along the spine including skull, vertebral column, ribs etc. Main "axis" of body

Appendicular: The appendages of the body. Shoulders, arms, pelvis, legs etc. Not directly connected to the spine. 

200

Define Physiology 

the way in which a living organism or bodily part functions.

200

The characteristics for life. (7 listed)

- cellular organization

- ability to reproduce 

- growth and development

- energy use

- homeostasis

- response to environment

- ability to adapt

200

System made up of these organs:

mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines

and accessory organs: liver, gallbladder, abdomen, appendix

Digestive system

200

Anabolic and Catabolic reactions and the difference between them

Anabolic - uses up energy. Builds bigger molecules from smaller ones

Catabolic - releases energy. Breaks down large molecules into smaller ones. 

Cats dont use energy because they are lazy. Cat-abolic.

200

Organs located in the left lower quadrant (LLQ)

Colon

Left ovary and fallopian tube*

Left ureter*


300
The difference between Anatomy and Physiology

Anatomy - structures of body parts

Physiology - functions of body parts

300

The 3 planes of the body

- Coronal (frontal) front and back

- Sagittal (longitudinal) left and right

- Transverse (axial) top and bottom

300

System involved in hormone production.

Major organs include a number of glands throughout the body including: thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands

What is the endocrine system?

300

Homeostasis and its importance

self-regulating processes which biological systems use to maintain stability. Important because organisms are constantly working with or against their environment. 

For example, the body shivers when it gets cold to generate energy and heat. 

300

Organs located in the left upper quadrant (LUQ)

Stomach

Spleen (wtf is a spleen)

Left lobe of liver

Pancreas

Left kidney and adrenal gland*

Splenic fixture of colon

400

body parts such as muscles, heart, brain, bladder, and kidneys

What is Anatomy?

400
The steps of the scientific method.

Observe

Question

Research

Hypothesize 

Experiment

Test Hypothesis

Draw Conclusions

Report

400

The purpose and major organs involved in the nervous/sensory system.

Purpose: communication between and coordination of all the body systems. 

Involves: Brain, nerves

400

Negative vs Positive Feedback (give an example)

Negative: counteract changes. It's cold outside -> body shivers to generate heat. 

Positive: amplify changes. Labor contractions start to push a baby out. The hormone released stimulates more contractions. Contractions become more frequent and baby is born. 



400

Organs located in the upper right quadrant (URQ)


Liver

Gallbladder

Duodenum

Right kidney and adrenal gland*


500

studying the electrical activity of cells in the heart that control its beat

What is Physiology?

500

Elements of a good hypothesis.

- Not in the form of a question

- Should be testable (right or wrong)

- Specific and precise

- Specifies variables between which the relationship is going to be established 

500

The main organs involved in the cardiovascular system

- Heart

- Arteries

- Veins

- Blood

500

Anatomical Position (and why it's used)

scientifically agreed upon reference position of the body for anatomical terms. Important because its standardized and all medical people refer to positions this way. 

Standing upright, facing forward with each arm hanging on either side of body, palms facing forward. Parallel legs with feet flat on the floor and facing forward. Basically the league T-pose but with less T. 

500

Organs located in the right lower quadrant (RLQ)

Cecum (wtf is a cecum)

Appendix

Ascending colon

Right ovary and fallopian tube*

Right ureter*
