Importance of studying A&P - Answer basis for understanding disease and for how the body works/reacts to stiumulus
systemic anatomy - Answer study of body systems
regional anatomy - Answer study of body regions (how med schools do it)
surface anatomy - Answer study of external features (ex: bone projections)
anatomical imaging - Answer uses x-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, CAT scans

Structural level: tissue - Answer group of cells with similar structure and function plus extracellular substance ex) epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Structural level: organ - Answer 2 or more tissue types ex) skin, heart, stomach, etc
Structural level: organ system - Answer groups of organs
Structural level: organism - Answer all structural levels working together
Structural level hierarchy - Answer chemical > cell > tissue > organ > organ system > organism
Integumentary system - Answer Protection, maintain H20 content
Skeletal system - Answer protection, support, movement
Muscular system - Answer movement, posture, heat
cardiac, skeletal, smooth
Lymphatic system - Answer AKA immune system antibodies, lymph
Respiratory system - Answer gas exchange ventilate: bring air in/out respiration: feed cells O
Digestive system - Answer take in nutrients, metabolize food
Negative feedback-Answer mechanism that regulates homeostasis negative meaning a deviation from set (ideal) point
Negative feedback components (3)-Answer 1) control center: establish the set point (brain)
Positive feedback- Answer deviation from the set point becomes greater
Anatomical position - Answer person standing erect with face and palms forward
supine position - Answer person lying face up
prone position-person lying face down
Superior/Inferior - Answer superior: above another structure inferior: below another structure
Anterior/Posterior - Answer anterior: toward front posterior: toward back
Medial/Lateral - Answer medial: close to midline lateral: away from midline
Ipsilateral/Contralateral - Answer ipsilateral: same side of body contralateral: opposite side of body
Proximal/Distal - Answer proximal: close to the point of attachment distal: away from the point of attachment
Superficial/deep - Answer superifical: close to surface deep: toward interior of body
Safittal plane - this would run vertically and separate the body into left and right
Midsagittal plane - this would run down the middle and divide the body into equal halves left and right
transverse plane - this would run horizontally and separate the body into top and bottom
frontal - this would run vertically and separate the body into anterior and posterior
Longitudinal organ cut - this would be cut along the length of the organ
Transverse/cross organ cut - Answer cut at a right angle at length of organ
oblique organ cut - Answer cut at anything but a right angle
usually associated with the small intestine
Serous membrane covers organs, lines cavity walls produces fluid that cuts down on friction b/t organs
Matter anything that occupies space and has mass (solid, liquid, gas)
Mass amount of matter in an object
Weight gravitational force acting on an object
Element- Answer simplest form of matter ex) C H O N Ca K Na Cl
Atom- Answer simplest particle of an element contains subatomic particles (e, pro, neu)
proton- Answer positive charge, in nucleus
electron- Answer negative charge, outside of nucleus
neutron- Answer neutral charge, different amounts
Atomic number- Answer number of protons in each atom
Mass number- Answer number of protons and neutrons in each atom
Chemical bond-Answer occurs when the outermost electrons are transferred/shared between atoms desire for interaction
Ionic bonding-Answer attraction between two oppositely charged ions one loses and one gains ion: charged particle
Covalent bonding-Answer atoms share 1+ electrons co=get together, valence = outermost ex) hydrogen molecule no complete transfer of electrons
Polar covalent bonds-Answer unequal sharing of electrons --> ex) H2O is asymmetrical polar molecule: asymmetrical electrical charge nonpolar molecule: symmetrical charge
Hydrogen bonds - Answ polar molecules that have a (+) end and a (-) end Form when the pos end of one polar molecule is weakly attracted to the neg end of another polar molecule weak => break apart/change form
Molecule - Answ 2+ atoms chemically combine
Compound - Answ chemical combination of 2 or more different types of atoms (ex: NaCl)
Chemical reactions - Answ formation/breaking of chemical bonds reactants: what is put into a rxn
ATP- Ans adenosine triphosphate stored energy; when it is broken down energy is released
Acids- Ans donate H+ (proton); pH less than 7 ex) HCl
Bases - Accept H+ (proton) pH greater than 7 ex) NaOH
Neutral - pH of 7 ex) H2O, blood (pH of 7.35ish)
Inorganic chemistry - Answer substances that do not contain carbon or hydrogen
Organic molecules - Answer contain C H O H:O ratio is 2:1 RATIO
Monosaccharides - Answer building blocks simple sugars (simple = rapid energy) ex) glucose/fructose
Disaccharides - Answer 2 sugars glucose+fructose = sucrose glucose+galactose = lactose
Polysaccharides - Answer many sucgars ex) startch, grain, vegetables, glycogen big => takes more time to break down (store)
Carbohydrate functions - Answer - short term energy storage
Protein characteristics - Answer - chứa C H O N
Functions of proteins - Answer make skin, hair, nails, muscles
Denaturation of proteins - Answer when they lose shape high temperate low pH (too acidic)
Function of an enzyme - Answer Act as a catalyst (increase rate of reaction) by lowering activation energy (metabolism)
Cell Functions - Answer - basic unit of life
Organelles - Answer specialized structures in cells that perform a specific function "little organs" ex) nucleus, mitochondria, ribsomes
Cytoplasm - Answer jellylike substance that holds organelles; inside cell; gives shell shape and holds organelles in place
Cell membrane - Answer - outer most component of cell
Cell Membrane structure - Answer - called "Fluid Mosaic Model" - living environment -> particular permeability
Movement thru cel membrane - Answer - selectively allows or rejects what enters or leaves the cell
how things pass thru cell membrane-1) directly thru-diffusion: O2, CO2; conc. gradient
Concentration gradient - Answer measures concentration difference @ 2 points greater distance, the faster the solute will travel
Filtration - Answer movement of a liquid through a partition with holes (high -> low) ex) kidneys filter solute out of blood
Facilitated diffusion - Answer diffusion with aid of a carrier molecule; requires no ATP b/c high to low enzymes fit the substance you want to bring in; change shape
Active transport - Answer moves substances from low -> high concentration requires ATP ex) sodium-potassium pump: enzymes that live in cell membranes; maintain balance of in/out concentrations NA+ in groups of 3, K in groups of 2 3:2 -> bring in 3 Na+, kick out 2 K+
