HAP Review, for quiz :)
autonomic nervous system
controls involuntary actions
Nervous system function
controls the actions and reactions of the body in response to stimuli from the environment
somatic nervous system
controls voluntary actions
Nervous tissue function
-Messaging system for the body -regulates and controls the body
amount of bones in adult human body
206 bones
organism
A living thing that can carry out life processes.
Organs
A structure made up of a collection of tissues that carries out a specialized function.
pulmonary circulation
Blood is pumped to the lungs where carbon dioxide leaves the blood and oxygen enters the body.
Systemic circulation
Blood moves around in the body.
Where Epithelial tissue is located
Covers the body (skin)
Tissue
Group of similar cells that perform a common function
4 Types of Tissues
Muscular tissue, connective tissue, epithelial tissue, nervous tissue
brain stem
Part of brain that connects the brain to spinal cord, controls involuntary processes (medulla of brain stem).
cerebellum
Part of brain that processes info, allows brain to keep track of body position and coordinate movements.
Cerebrum
Part of brain where you think/problem solve, controls voluntary movements.
Anatomy
Study of one's structure, like muscles, bones, and interior organs.
Physiology
Study of the functions of different organs, like digestion, respiration, reproduction, etc.
Major parts of the brain
cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem
muscle
The tissue that contracts and relaxes, making movement possible.
Ligament
The tough, flexible strand of connective tissue that holds bones together.
Homeostasis
To maintain a stable internal environment
Tendon
Tough strand of tissue connecting a muscle to a bone.
Joint
Where two or more bones connect, where bones meet.
organs of skeletal system
bones, ligaments, joints, cartilage
Central Nervous System organs
brain and spinal cord
Nerves
bundle of axons wrapped in connective tissue
Circulatory system function
carries nutrients, gases, and hormones to body cells and waste products from body cells
Levels of organization
cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Organ Systems
group of organs that work together to perform body functions
circulatory system organs
heart, atrium, ventricle, blood vessels, artery, vein, capillary
smooth muscle
involuntary muscle, found in internal organs and blood vessels
cardiac muscle
involuntary muscle, makes up your heart
Ventricle
lower chamber of heart
muscular system organs
muscle, tendon, voluntary muscle and involuntary muscle
peripheral nervous system
nerves and ganglia
Three Needs of Cells
oxygen, nutrients, and waste removal
Skeletal System Function
provides protection, support, storage, blood cell production, and movement for body
Muscular system function
pumps blood through body, enable you to breathe, holds you upright, and allows you to move
Three types of muscle tissue
skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle
Atrium
upper chamber of heart
Skeletal muscle
voluntary muscle, connected to your bones
