discovered organisms that can cause disease

cell, tissue, organs…

…organ system, organism

epithelial tissue

forms a protective covering for all internal and external surfaces of the body

connective tissue

supports and connects organs and other body tissue

ex. fat, bone cartilage, blood

muscle tissue

specialized ability to contract and relax

ex. smooth, voluntary, cardiac

nerve tissue

reacts to stimuli and conducts impulses all over the body

anatomy

study of structures or parts/pieces

physiology

study of the functions or how the parts/pieces work

pathophysiology

study of disease or injury

skeletal system

function-give shape, protection of organs, blood formation and movement

bones, skeletal muscle, ligaments, tendons

muscular system

function-maintain body position, contract/relax, generate heat

various muscle groups/tissue

nervous system

function-interpret stimuli, respond to stimuli, regular body activities

nerves, neurons, brain stem and lobes

circulatory/cardiovascular

function-pumps blood to all organs

heart, arteries, veins, capillaries

respiratory system

breath o2 in and co2 out, gas exchange

nose trachea, diaphragm, bronchi, lungs, alveoli

white blood cells

when a blood vessel is damaged, platelets become…

…sticky and clump together to form a clot

the arteries of the body transport…

…blood away from the heart to the rest of the body

blood vessels that carry…

…blood back to the heart is called veins

neutrophils

the most abundant white blood cells and function to fight infection

veins

have one way valves to carry blood to the heart

bradycardia

slow heartbeat, less then 60 bpm

capillary

smallest blood vessel in the body

fibrillation

o2 in and…

co2 out of the body

the trachea or windpipe connects the…

pharynx to the lungs

asthma is a…

obstructive lung disease because it obstructs airflow because of increased mucus in bronchioles
