ANATOMY

.

QuestionAnswer
Stages of mitosis Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
Interphase DNA replication occurs before every division
Prophase Nuclear membrane breaks down, Chromatin is now evident, formation of chromosomes from chromatin (becomes thickened and visible), Centrioles migrate
Metaphase Chromosomes attach randomly to spindle at equator of cell, Chromosomes line up randomly at equatorial plane, Spindle fibers extend from centriole to centromere of chromosomes
Anaphase Centromere splits horizontally,
Telophase Nuclear membranes, nucleoli, and cell plate (in plants only) reappears, Cleavage furrow in animal cells, Chromosomes lengthen and disappear, Cell division occurs to produce 2 daughter cells, Beginning of cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm)
Cytokinesis Division of the cytoplasm to form 2 daughter cells
Whats the cell cycle? Mitotic Phase, G1 phase, s phase, g2 phase.
How do cells die? Killed by harmful agents or mechanical damage, or Induced to commit suicide, process of programmed cell death called apoptosis
Cancer Abnormal growth of cells called a neoplasm or tumor.
Benign Grow slowly and confined to connective tissue Not usually lethal, Potential to become life-threatening if compress organs such as the brain (surgery is necessary)
Malignant Differentiating cells that increase blood supply, grow rapidly, and spread easily to distant sites, a process called metastasis
Most common cancer in men? Prostate
Most common cancer in women? Breast
Worst cancers? Esophageal and pancreatic
Leading cause of cancer death in men and women? Lung
What are Oncogenes? a mutated proto-oncogene that contributes to the development of a cancer
what are proto-oncogenes? normal genes that code for proteins that promote or favor cell division
Primary factors contributing to cancers? Mutations
What is a mutagen? any factors that can trigger mutations
Mutagens that cause cancer are called what? Carcinogens
Anatomy a branch of science that deals with the structure (morphology) of the body parts and their forms and arrangements.
Physiology A branch of science concerned with the functions of the body parts
What is a physiologist? Someone who find out how body parts carry on life processes usually using complex laboratory equipment to conduct experiments
Ten major characteristics of life Movement, Responsiveness, Growth/development, Reproduction, Respiration, Digestion, Absorption, Circulation, Assimilation, Excretion
Metabolism The chemical and physical changes continuously going on in living organisms and their cells ~or~ the sum total of all reactions which occur in a cell.
What is the metabolism regulated by? Hormones
Homeostasis was first articulated by who? Claude Bernard
Homeostasis The tendency to maintain a normal internal stability in an organism by coordinated responses of the organ systems that automatically compensate for environmental change.
Exceptions to the rule of Homeostasis? Elevated body temps in some fishes, Brooding Burmese pythons and Australian pythons, leatherback turtles.
What is Glucose regulation controlled by? The Pancreas
what is Type-1 Diabetes? Insulin deficiency, it is when not enough insulin being made by the pancreas due to a malfunction of the insulin producing cells (autoimmunity), Juvenile onset.
What is type 2 diabetes? Insulin resistance, it occurs when there is plenty of insulin made by the pancreas but the cells of the body are resistant to it's action which results in the blood sugar being too high, adult onset.
What is Glucagon? a Hormone that is secreted by the islet alpha cells of pancreas.
What does glucagon do? Raises blood sugar when blood glucose is low.
What is insulin? A hormone that is secreted by islet beta calls of the pancreas.
What does insulin do? Lowers blood sugar. It increases the storage of glucose, fatty acids and amino acids in cells and tissues.
What is somatostatin? a hormone that is secreted by delta cells of the pancreas.
What does somatostatin do? Serves to block the secretion of both insulin and glucagon from adjacent cells. can also regulate locally, the secretion of other pancreatic hormones.
What should blood glucose be maintained between? 70/110
What is <70 termed? hypoglycemia
What is >200 termed? Hyperglycemia
What is hypoglycemia? refers to a lower than normal amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood
What should your blood pressure be if its normal? 120/80
What is negative feedback control? when the response diminishes the original stimulus.
What is Positive feedback? Self-regulating, but responds in the same direction as the initial stimulus
Five major needs of organisms Water, food, oxygen, heat, and pressure
What is apart of the Posterior (dorsal) Cavity? Cranial cavity, vertebral canal (spinal)
What is apart of the Anterior (ventral) cavity? Thoracic cavity, Abdominopelvic, abdominal(upper and lower cavity) Pelvic cavity, scrotal cavity.
What smaller body cavities are in the skull (cranium)? Oral Nasal orbital frontal Sphenoidal middle ear
What are the joint cavities of the knee and elbow called? Synovial
What are the two main regions of the body called? Axial (head, neck, truck), Appendicular(limbs)
what does the abdominopelvic area consist of? 4 quadrants and 9 regions
What are the 4 quadrants and 9 regions that make up the abdominal area (abdominopelvic)? Epigastric Hypochondriac Left hypochondriac Right hypochondriac Umbilical Lumbar (abdominal) Left lumbar (abdominal) Right lumbar (abdominal) Hypogastric (pubic) iliac Left iliac (inguinal) Right iliac (inguinal)
What was the Kahun papyri focused on? Gynecology
What was the Ebers papyri focused on? Internal medicine
What was the Edwin Smith Papyrus focused on? Surgical wounds and fractures.
Who was Imhotep? First physician in history.
What where early medical treatments? Manipulation, cauterization, Splinting, cleansing, drainage, debridement of wounds, anti bacterial wound dressing.
