Pathophysiology - ANSWER: The study of the processes that disturb normal function
Epithelial Tissue - ANSWER: Covers or lines body surfaces;
ex. Outer layer of the skin, the walls of the capillaries, and kidney tubules.
Connective Tissue - ANSWER: Connects and supports parts of the body; some transport and store
material
ex. Bone, cartilage and adipose tissue
Muscles - ANSWER: Contract to produce movements;
ex. Skeletal muscles and the heart
Nerve Tissue - ANSWER: Generates and transmits impulse to regulate body function
ex. Brain and nerves
Integumentary System - ANSWER: Consist of skin, hair, and nails.
Key Functions: Protection, temperature, water retention, sensation
Skeletal System - ANSWER: Consists of bones, cartilage, and ligaments
Key Functions: Protection of the body organs, support, movement, blood formation
Muscular system - ANSWER: Consists primarily of skeletal muscles
Key Functions: Movement, Posture, and heat protection
Lymphatic system - ANSWER: Consists of lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, lymph, thymus, spleen and
tonsils
Key Functions: Role in fluid balance, production of immune cells, defense against disease
Respiratory System - ANSWER: Consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
Key Functions: absorption of oxygen, discharge of carbon dioxide, acid-base balance
speech
Urinary system - ANSWER: Consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra
Key functions: Excretion of wastes, regulation of blood volume an pressure, control of fluid,
electrolyte, and acid-base balance
Nervous system - ANSWER: Consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs

Endocrine System - ANSWER: Consists of the pituitary gland, adrenals, pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid,
and other organ
Key Function: Hormone production, control and regulation of other systems
Circulatory System - ANSWER: Consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries
Key Functions: Distribution of oxygen, nutrients, wastes, hormones, electrolytes, immune cells and
antibodies; Fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance
, Digestive system - ANSWER: Consists of the stomach, small and large intestines, esophagus, liver,
mouth and pancreas

Female reproductive systems - ANSWER: Consists of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and
breast
Key Functions: Production of eggs, site of fertilization and fetal development, birth, lactation,
secretion of sex hormones
Atoms - ANSWER: link together to form molecules
Molecules - ANSWER: are organized into various structures, including organelles.
Organelles - ANSWER: the metabolic machinery of the cell
cells - ANSWER: The smallest unit of life that makes up the human body
Tissues - ANSWER: Groups of cells that are similar in structure and function
organs - ANSWER: Groups of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or related
functions
organ system - ANSWER: A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions.
human organism - ANSWER: all of the organ sysems together
Anatomical position - ANSWER: To stand erect with arms at the sides and palms of the hands turned
forward
midline - ANSWER: Divides the body into right and left sides
Medial - ANSWER: Toward the midline of the body
Lateral - ANSWER: away from the midline
proximal - ANSWER: closer to the trunk of the body
Distal - ANSWER: Farther from the trunk of the body
superior - ANSWER: above
Anterior - ANSWER: toward the front
Posterior - ANSWER: toward the back
Inferior - ANSWER: below
Superficial - ANSWER: at or near the body's surface
Deep - ANSWER: Away from the body surface; more internal
sagittal plane - ANSWER: The plane that divides the body into unequal left and right halves
