TERM 1
anatomy
DEFINITION 1
where things are and what they are (structure location)
TERM 2
physiology
DEFINITION 2
how things are work
TERM 3
Level of Structure Organization in the Body
DEFINITION 3
1. chemical level- molecules are composed of at least two
atoms such as H2O and macromolecules (DNA, protein, and
fats)2. cellular level - cells3. tissue levels- group of
cells4. organ levels-groups of tissues 5. system
level-cardiovascular, muscle and respiratory6. organismal
level- organism and human level
TERM 4
Characteristics of Life
DEFINITION 4
1. cellular composition- living things ar e composed of cells2.
metabolism- sum of all chemical reac tions of the body; anabolism
is building things up and catabolism is b reaking things3.
responsiveness- being able to detect and respond to external and
internal stimuli4. movement - movem ent of the body5. growth-
increase in size6. differentiation- unsp ecialized to specialized7.

Characteristics of Life

DEFINITION 4

  1. cellular composition- living things are composed of cells2. metabolism- sum of all chemical reactions of the body; anabolism is building things up and catabolism is breaking things3. responsiveness- being able to detect and respond to external and internal stimuli4. movement - movement of the body5. growth- increase in size6. differentiation- unspecialized to specialized7. reproduce- produce offsprings and pass on genes TERM 5

Homoestatis

DEFINITION 5 equilibrium/ balancemaintaining a constant set point

TERM 6

interstital fluid

DEFINITION 6 is the same as intracellular fluid and is the fluid between the tissuesimportant to maintain in and out cellcell is semipermeable TERM 7

Isotonic/Hypertonic/Hypotonic

DEFINITION 7 isotonic: concentration same outside and inside the cell (nothing in moving @ equilibrium)hypertonic: higher concentration outside the cell than inside ECF>ICF(water flows out and shrinks)hypotonic: lower concentration than inside the cell (water flows in- swells)
