Anatomy
Study of the form and structure of an organism
Physiology
Study of the processes of living organisms, or why they work
Pathophysiology
Study of how disease occurs and the responses of living organisms
cell membrane
Outer protective covering of the cell/ diffusion, osmosis, filtration, are transport mechanisms the cell membrane uses
cytoplasm
semifluid inside the cell but outside the nucleus. Contains 70-90 percent water, proteins, lipids(fat), carbohydrates, minerals, and salts. The site for all the chemical reactions that take place.
organelles
located in the cytoplasm. Help a cell to function
nucleus
mass in the cytoplasm. Separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear membrane that has pores that allow substances to pass between the nucleus and cytoplasm
nucleolus
located inside the nucleus and important in cell reproduction
chromatin
located in the nucleus and made of DNA and protein.
mitochondria
rod-shaped organelles located throughout the cytoplasm. Called the “furnaces” or “powerhouses” of the cell because they break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Golgi apparatus
stack of membrane layers located in the cytoplasm
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
network of tublar structures in the cytoplasm. contains ribosomes and aids with storage of proteins.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
network of tubular structures located in cytoplasm. does not contain ribosomes and is not present in the cell. it also assists with cholesterol synthesis, fat metabolism, and detoxification of drugs
Vacuoles
pouchlike structures found through the cytoplasm. have a acuolar membrane. filled w/ watery substance, stored food, or waste products.
Lysosomes
oval/round bodies in cytoplasm. contains digestive enzymes that digest and destroy old cellsm bacteria, and foreign materials.
Centrioles
1 centromes is 2 centrioles. during mitosis the centrioles separate.
ribosomes
sites for protein synthesis
Father of microbiology
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Heart and lung machine
used during heart surgery to temporarily take over functionsof the heart and lungs/ first used May 1953
Hippocrates
Greek physician called “Father of Medicine” best known for authoring the code of conduct for physicians, the “hippocratic oath”
clara barton
American nurse who founded the Red Cross and worked during the civil war.also established the National First Aid Society
gabriel Fahrenheit
physicist, inventor, and scientific instrument maker. most famouse for mercury thermometer (1714) and developing the Fahrenheit temperature scale (1724)
4 functions of the muscles
attach bones to provide movement, provide heat and energy, maintains posture, and protects internal organs
Skeletal muscle tissue
Cardiac muscle tissues
Smooth or Visceral tissue
Muscle properties
elasticity,
Cardiac muscle
the cardiac muscle forms the walls of the heart and contracts to circulate blood through the body
Visceral muscle
the visceral muscle also called the smooth muscle, is found in the internal organs of the body, viscera muscles are involuntary mean
