Integumentary System
Skin
Skeletal System
frame work(bones)
Muscular System
muscles; movement within your body
Nervous System
regulation/conscious thought
Endocrine System
regulation/hormones
Cardiovascular System
getting things from point a-b
Lymphatic System
immunity
Respiratory System
gas exchange
Urinary System
waste removal
Digestive System
getting nutrients in the body
Reproductive System
reproducing
Anatomic Postions
Upright stance
Feet parallel and flat feet
Upper limbs at the sides of the body
Palms face anteriorly
Head is level
Eyes look forward
Coronal
dividing front and back
Transverse
dividing upper and lower
mid-sagittal
right and left
sagittal
a vertical plane which passes through the body longitudinally
para-sagittal
plane situated alongside or parallel to the sagittal plane, but not including the median plane passing through the midline
Superior
“above”
Inferior
“below”
Anterior
front
Posterior
back
medial
inside
lateral
outside
proximal
closer to
distal
further away
Homeostasis
the ability of an organism to maintain consistent internal environment in response to changing internal or external conditions
Receptor
detects change
Control Center
interprets input from receptor and starts changes
Effector
brings changes to alter stimulus
Negative Feedback
Variable fluctuates within a normal range around a set point
ex: body temp regulation
Positive Feedback
Stimulus reinforced to continue moving variable in same direction until a climatic event occurs, then body returns to homeostasis
ex: breastfeeding
Diffusion
movement of something from a greater concentration to lesser concentration in constant movement because of kinetic energy
diffusion continues if undisturbed until equilibrium, evenly distributed throughout area rate determined by “steepness” of concentration gradient
4 primary tissue types
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle and Nervous
Bones
primary organ of the skeletal system, rigid framework of body, support, protect movement, blood pressure, stores minerals and energy reserves
Bone Types
long, short, flat and irregular bones
Compact Bone
dense
Spongey Bone
internat to compact bone
red bone marrow
in children, blood cell forming
yellow bone marrow
child mature to adult
Bone Marrow
red turns to yellow makes fatty substance
may convert from yellow to red in severe anemia
Osteoprogenitor cells
stem cells derived from mesenchyme
Osteoblast
builds bone tissue
Osteocytes
mature bone cells derived from osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
destroys bone tissue
Organic Components
collagen protein (bone flexibility)
Organic Components
osteoid
collagen protein
proteoglycans
glycoproteins
inorganic
salt crystals
calcium phosphate
calcium hydroxide
Muscle Names

#of heads
thick filament
many bundles of myosin protein molecules
thin filament
many actin protein molecules
slow oxidative
slower contractions less powerful
runners/endruance
fast oxidative
contractions and powerful
intermediate
fast glycolytic fibers
fast and powerful contractions
depolarization
becomes less negative from NA+ diffusing into the cell through voltage- gated channels, chain reaction
