Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology:
Scanlon & Sanders 8th Ed.
Anatomy - answers is the study of body structure, which includes size, shape,
composition, and perhaps even coloration.
Physiology - answers s the study of how the body functions.
Pathophysiology - answers is the study of disorders of functioning, and a knowledge of
normal physiology makes such disorders easier to understand.
Inorganic chemicals - answers are usually simple molecules made of one or two
elements other than carbon with a few exceptions. Examples: water, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, calcium, and iron.
Organic chemicals - answers always contain the elements carbon and hydrogen. Four
examples: Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
A tissue - answers is formed when a group of cells with similar structure and function
work together.
Epithelial tissues - answers cover or line body surfaces. Example: Lining of the
stomach and epidermis of the skin.
Connective tissues - answers supports, transports or store materials in parts of the
body. Examples: Blood, bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue.
Muscle tissues - answers contracts, and brings about movement. Examples: skeletal
muscles and the heart .
Smooth muscle tissue - answers are found in organs such as the urinary bladder and
stomach.
, Nerve tissues - answers transmits impulses that regulate body functions. Examples:
The brain and spinal cord.
Cells are - answers The smallest living units of structure and function.
Proton - answers has a positive electrical charge and is found in the nucleus (or center)
of the atom.
Tissue - answers is formed when cells with similar structure and function are grouped
and work together.
An organ - answers is a group of tissues precisely arranged so as to accomplish
specific functions. Examples of organs are the kidneys, individual bones, the liver, the
lungs, and the stomach.
An organ system - answers is a group of organs that all contribute to a particular
function. Example are the urinary system, the digestive system, and the respiratory
system.
integumentary system - answers Is a barrier to pathogens and chemicals and prevents
excessive water loss. Body organs are: skin, subcutaneous tissue
skeletal system - answers supports the body, protects internal organs and red bone
marrow, provides a framework to be moved by muscles. Body organs are: bones,
ligaments
Muscular System - answers Moves the skeleton or other body parts and produces heat.
Organs are: muscles, tendons
nervous system - answers Interprets sensory information and decides how to use it and
regulates body functions such as movement by means of electrochemical impulses.
Body organs are: brain, spinal cord, nerves, eyes, ears
endocrine system - answers Regulates body functions such as growth and
reproduction by means of hormones. Regulates day-to-day metabolism by means of
hormones. Body organs are: thyroid gland, pituitary gland, ovaries or testes, pancreas
circulatory system - answers Transports oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removes
waste products. Body organs are: heart, blood, arteries, veins
Lymphatic system - answers Returns tissue fluid to the blood and destroys pathogens
that enter the body and provides immunity. Body organs are: spleen, lymph nodes,
thymus gland
Respiratory system - answers Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air
and blood. Body organs are: lungs, trachea, larynx, diaphragm
