| 89348865 | Joint | Where 2 or more bones meet...also known as articulation. | |
| 89348866 | Chemical Level | Simplest level of organizations. Include Atoms the Fundamental unit of matter and Molecules a Group of atoms together | |
| 89348867 | Cellular Level | Cell - basic unit of life, life begins w/a cell | |
| 89348868 | Characteristics of a cell | microscopic, enclosed by membrane, reproduce at some point of its cycle, they exchange things with the environment (O2, CO2, waste), they die | |
| 89348869 | Tissue Level | Made of Cells (living) and Matrix (non living ground substance). There are four types of tissue, Connective, Epithelium, Nervous, Muscular. | |
| 89348870 | Connective Tissue | connects, gives shape and supports, Examples - Tendons - connects muscle to bone, Ligaments - connects bone to bone Fascia - connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs (most abundant tissue in the body | |
| 89348871 | Epithelium Tissue | lining and covering tissue, protects Ex. Skin, oral cavity, organs, etc. | |
| 89918816 | Muscular Tissue | facilitates movement | |
| 89918817 | Nervous Tissue | conducts electrical impulses which have a regulatory effect | |
| 89918818 | Organ Level | 2 or more (4 is usual) types of tissue working towards a common function. Ex. Heart, skin, bone, lungs, liver, brain, kidneys, muscle, eyeball | |
| 89918819 | System Level | group of organs working towards a common function. There are 11 systems. Skeletal, Respiratory, Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive, Lymphatic, Muscular, Integumentary. | |
| 89918820 | Skeletal System | Organs: Bones (206 total), joints, ligaments Functions: Structure, movement, protection, calcium storage. | |
| 89918821 | Hemopoeisis | blood cell production | |
| 89918822 | Respiratory System | Organs: Lungs, nose, trachea, bronchii, diaghragm Functions: intaking O2, expelling CO2 | |
| 89918823 | Nervous System | Organs: Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory receptors - Functions: Regulation, processes information, communication, response to change in environment, motor activity, thinking, dreaming, memory, interpret | |
| 89918824 | Endocrine System | Organs: Thyroid, Pituitary (master gland), Pineal gland (makes Melatonin to help regulate sleep), Adrenals (fight or flight), Ovaries, Testes, Pancreas Functions: Releasing hormones to help regulate functions (growth, stress level etc.) | |
| 89918825 | Major Regulatory Systems | Nervous System, Endocrine System | |
| 89918826 | Cardiovascular System | Organs: Heart, blood vessels, blood Functions: Transporting Oxygen, nutrients, CO2, hormones, electrolytes (needed for everything, it's a charge to blood - IONS), Thermoregulation (temperature), hemostasis (blood clotting), immunity, Ph regulation (acid-base balance) | |
| 89918827 | Digestive System | Organs: Stomach, small/large intestines, esophagus, mouth, liver, gall bladder (releases bile, bile breaks down food), Pancreas Functions: ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination | |
| 89918828 | Urinary System | Organs: Kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra Functions: detoxifies blood, eliminates waste, maintains fluid & electrolyte balance, helps regulate Ph. | |
| 89918829 | Lymphatic System | Organs: Lymph nodes, spleen (only makes white blood cells), lymph vessels, lymph, tonsils, thymus (turns on white blood cells -T blood cells) Functions: Immune response, white blood cells production, drains excess tissue fluid and returns plasma proteins to bloodstream, cleanses pathogens. | |
| 89918830 | Muscular System | Organs: Skeletal muscles, tendons Functions: Movement, support, posture, thermoregulation, circulation, speech and communication | |
| 89918831 | Integumentary System | Organs: Skin, hair, nails, sensory receptors, exocrine glands - Functions: protection, synthesizes vitamin D, water repellant, produces Melanin (pigment), immunity | |
| 89918832 | Reproductive System | Organs: ovaries, fallopian tubes, mammary glands, vagina, testes, prostate gland, etc. Functions: Reproduction, nurtures the fetus (Only system not needed for Homeostasis) | |
| 89918833 | Organism Level | Highest level of organization, groups of systems working together , YOU as a whole person. | |
| 89918834 | Levels of Organization | Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, System, Organism | |
| 91237011 | Homeostatis | internal balance, maintenance of the internal environment with relatively narrow limits. Helps regulate: Blood Pressure, Blood Volume, Cholesterol, Glucose Levels, pH, Hormones, Electrolytes, Pathogens, Nutrients, Blood gases, Temperature | |
| 91237012 | Internal Environment | refers to Extracellular Fluids (fluids outside cells) including: Plasma, Lymph, Tissue | |
| 91237013 | Plasma fluid | fluid part of blood | |
| 91237015 | Lymph fluid | fluid in lymph vessels | |
| 91237017 | Tissue fluid (interstitial/intercellular) | all other fluid in body | |
| 91237019 | Intracellular fluid | fluid found inside cells, not directly affected by homeostasis | |
| 91237021 | Homeostatic Mechanisms | Stimulus - change in the environment....Sensor - Endocrine and/or nerve cells that monitor changes....Response - a reaction produced by the nervous or endocrine system (Negative Feedback, Positive Feedback) | |
| 91237023 | Negative Feedback | Response cancels the stimulus to prevent sudden unwanted changes- (Sweating to cool body down, when overheated) | |
| 91237025 | Possitive Feedback | Response increases stimulus until a built-in resolution - (Child birth - helps with birth...Oxytocin hormones make contractions happen to help push baby out) | |
| 91237028 | Anatomical Position | feet parallel, face forward, open palm facing forward, joints extended | |
| 91237030 | Anterior (Ventral) | towards the front | |
| 91237032 | Posterior (Dorsal) | towards the back | |
| 91237033 | Medial | closer to the midline | |
| 91237034 | Lateral | farther from the midline | |
| 91237035 | Superior (Cranial) | closer to the skull | |
| 91237036 | Inferior (Caudal) | closer to the tailbone (coccyx) | |
| 91237037 | Superficial (External) | closer to the surface | |
| 91237038 | Deep (Internal) | farther from the surface | |
| 91237039 | Proximal | Closer to the point of attachment to the Axial skeleton (extremeties only) | |
| 91237040 | Distal | Farther from the point of attachment to the Axial skeleton (extremeties only) | |
| 91237042 | Sagittal Section | divides the body into left and right portions | |
| 91237044 | Coronal Section | divides the body into Anterior and Posterior portions | |
| 91237045 | Transverse Section | divides the body into Superior and Inferior portions | |
| 91237046 | Body Cavities | the body is divided into two main cavities, Dorsal and Ventral | |
| 91237047 | Dorsal Cavity | enclosed by bone, house the CNS (central nervous system), the Vertebral and Cranial. | |
| 91237048 | Cranial cavity | houses the brain | |
| 91237049 | Vertebral cavity | houses the spinal cord | |
| 91237050 | Ventral Cavity | houses the viscera (internal organs) |
