6Anatomy/Physiology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The study of the human body structures that can be seen with the naked eye as well as the various parts from which they are constructed or the science of the structure of the human body or other organisms and their parts. | Anatomy |
| The study of the functions and activities performed by the body’s structure | Physiology |
| The study of tiny structures found in the tissue; it is also called microscopic anatomy. | Histology |
| The basic units of all living things | Cells |
| Without ___, life does not exist. | Cells |
| Responsible for carrying on all life processes | Cell |
| A colorless, jelly-like substance found inside cells in which food elements such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and water are present. | Protoplasm |
| The dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell. Plays a important part in cell reproduction and metabolism. | Nucleus |
| The part of the protoplasm that exists outside of the nucleus and inside the cell wall. The protoplasm surrounds the nucleus and is needed for growth, reproduction, and self- repair. | Cytoplasm |
| The cell part that encloses and holds the protoplasm while still allowing soluble substances (e.g., nutrients, or waste by-products), to enter and leave the cell. | Cell membrane |
| When cells divide into two identical cells through a process called mitosis | Daughter cells |
| __ conditions include an adequate supply of food, oxygen, and water; suitable temperatures; and the ability to eliminate waste by-products | Favorable |
| A chemical process that takes place in living organisms, in which the cells are nourished and carry out their activities and occurs in two distinctly different phases. | Metabolism |
| “Constructive metabolism”; the process of combining smaller molecules to build larger and more complex molecules | Anabolism |
| Larger more complex molecules are broken down within the cells to create smaller, simpler molecules | Catabolism |
| 24 | |
| Anabolism and catabolism are carried out simultaneously and continuously __ hours a day | |
| A collection of similar cells that perform a special function | Tissue |
| Fibrous tissue that binds together, protects, and supports various parts of the body ex: bone and cartilage, ligaments and tendons | Connective tissue |

| Affects the growth, development, sexual functions, and health of the entire body; consists of special glands | endocrine system |
| Purifies the body by eliminating waste matter; consists of kidneys, liver, skin, large intestines, and lungs | Excretory system |
| Serves as a protective covering and helps regulate the body’s temperature; consists of skin and its accessory glands, such as oil and sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair, and nails | Integumentary system |
| Protects the body from disease by developing immunities and destroying disease- causing toxins and bacteria | Lymphatic system |
| Covers, shapes, and holds the skeletal system in place; the muscular system contracts and moves various parts of the body | Muscular system |
| Controls and coordinates all other systems inside the body and makes them work harmoniously and efficiently ; consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves | Nervous system |
| Produces offspring and passes on the genetic code from one generation to another | Reproductive system |
| Enables breathing, supplying the body with oxygen, and eliminating carbon dioxide and other gases as waste products; consists of the lungs and air passages | Respiratory system |
| Forms the physical foundation of the body ; consists of 206 bones that vary in size and shape and are connected by movable and immovable joints | Skeletal system |
| The study of anatomy, structure, and the function of the bones | Osteology |
| Hardest tissue in the body | Bone |
| Composed of connective tissue consisting of about one-third organic matter, such as cells and blood, and two- thirds minerals, mainly calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate | Bone |
| Primary function of this system: give shape and support to the body, protect various internal structures and organs, serve as attachments for muscles and act as levers to produce body movement, help produce both white and red blood cells, etc | Skeletal |
| Connection between two or more bones of the skeleton; two types: movable (elbow, knee, hip) and immovable (pelvis, skull) | Joint |
| Uppermost and largest bone of the arm, extending from the elbow to the shoulder | Humerus |
| The longer bone of the forearm. It is larger at the elbow than at the wrist and is located on the little finger side of the hand | Ulna |
| The shorter bone of the two bones of the forearm. It is largest at the wrist and is located on the thumb side of the hand. | Radius |
| The wrist; a flexible joint composed of eight small, irregular bones held together by ligaments | Carpus |
| Bones of the palm of the hand; parts of the hand containing five bones between the carpus and phalanges | Metacarpus |
| Bones of the fingers or toes; digits; 14 bones | Phalanges |
| Heavy, long bone that forms the leg above the knee | Femur |
| The larger of the two bones that form the leg below the knee; may be visualized as a bump on the big-toe side of the ankle | Tibia |
| The smaller of the two bones that form the leg below the knee; may be visualized as a bump on the little-toe side of the ankle | Fibula |
