Human Anatomy and Physiology
the study of how the body functions
physiology
Tiny openings on the skin's surface that releases oil and sweat
pores
Mature bones are made mostly of this type of hard bone
compact bone
The body moves when muscles do this
contract
This organ produces urea
liver
these form tissues
groups of specialized cells
Consists of dead cells filled with a protein called keratin
epidermis
Two or more bones meet at one of these
joint
Involuntary muscle that has striations
cardiac muscles/ heart
This transports urea to the kidneys
blood
the system that helps protect the body from threats such as bacteria and viruses
the lymphatic system
Besides skin, the integumentary system also includes these two
hair and nails
Bone marrow is found in the empty spaces of this type of bone
spongy bone
Voluntary muscles are connected to bones by these
tendons
These line the kidneys and turn urea into urine
nephrons
the system that secretes chemicals that regulates body function
the endocrine system
subcutaneous layer
ligaments
The trachea branches into these
two bronchi
Starting from the kidney to the expulsion of waste from the body, list the organs/structures used in the urinary system in order
kidney-> ureters -> bladder -> urethra
besides epithelial tissues, what other three types of tissues are found in the human body
nerve tissues, connective tissues, muscle tissues
temperature regulation
The tough white tissue that covers the bone
periosteum
This protects the trachea and contains the vocal cords
larynx
dialysis
