irritability

ability to sense changes in the environment

responsiveness

ability of an organism to adjust to changes in its internal and external environment

homeostasis

responsiveness is related to keeping _

movement

includes actions at the joints and motion of individual organs and cells

development

all the changes the body goes through in life

digestion

breaks down food into energy

excretion

process of removing wastes from the body

growth

the increase in body size

reproduction

the formation of a new organism from parent organisms

nutrients

contains the chemicals used for energy and cell building

carbohydrates

major energy providing fuel for body cells

proteins

essential for building cell structures

fats

essential for building cell structures, cushion organs, and provide reserve fuel

minerals and vitamins

required for the chemical reactions that go in cells and for oxygen transport in the blood

oxygen

is required during chemical reactions that releases energy from foods

water

single most abundant chemical substance in the body and provides fluid base for body secretions

60 to 80

water is _ to _ percent of body weight

normal body temperature

allows chemical reactions to continue at the life-sustaining levels

atmospheric pressure

the force exerted on the surface of the body by the weight of air

gross anatomy

study of the body structures that can be examined by the naked eye

regional anatomy

examination of structures per body region

systemic anatomy

approach in which organs with related functions are studied together

surface anatomy

study of shapes and markings on the body surface

dissection

technique used to remove connective tissue and see organs clearly

microscopic anatomy

study of the structures that can only be seen with a microscope

histology

microscopic anatomy is also called _

developmental anatomy

study of the structural changes that occur due to aging

embryology

study of formation and development of body structures before birth

pathological anatomy

focuses on the structural changes in cells, tissues, and organs caused by diseases

radiographic anatomy

study of the internal body structures using medical imaging techniques

functional morphology

study of the functional properties of body structures and assesses efficiency of design

functional anatomy

study of structures in relation to their function
emphasis on the structural characteristics that contribute to a function
