What is anatomy?
The science of body structures and their relationships.
What is physiology?
The science of body functions and how body parts work.
What is palpation?
The act of touching body surfaces with the hands.
What is auscultation?
The act of listening to body sounds to evaluate organ functioning.
What is percussion?
The act of tapping on the body surface and listening to the resulting echo.
What are the levels of organization in the human body?
Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system, organismal.
What is metabolism?
The sum of all chemical processes in the body, including catabolism and anabolism.
What is responsiveness?
The ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment.
What is movement?
Includes motion of the whole body, organs, cells, or organelles.
What is growth?
,An increase in size and complexity due to an increase in cell number or size.
What is differentiation?
The change of a cell from an unspecialized state to a specialized state.
What is reproduction?
The formation of new cells or the production of a new individual.
What is homeostasis?
The condition of equilibrium in the body's internal environment.
What is intracellular fluid?
Fluid inside the body cells.
What is extracellular fluid?
Fluid outside the body cells.
How does the nervous system regulate homeostasis?
By detecting changes and sending nerve impulses to counteract disruptions.
How does the endocrine system regulate homeostasis?
By secreting hormones to bring about slow changes.
What does the term 'homeostasis' mean?
Condition of equilibrium in the body's internal environment.
What are the two types of changes that can disrupt homeostasis?
Rapid changes detected by the nervous system and slow changes regulated by the
endocrine system.
What is the feedback system?
A cycle of events for monitoring controlled conditions.
What is a stimulus?
, Any disruption that changes a controlled condition.
What is a controlled condition?
A monitored variable such as body temperature, blood pressure, or blood glucose.
What are receptors?
Structures found within or on the surface of a cell that monitor changes in a controlled
condition and send inputs to the control center.
What is a control center?
The part of a feedback system that sets the range of values within which a controlled
condition should be maintained. It evaluates the input received from the receptors and
generates output commands to the effectors.
What are effectors?
Body structures that receive the output from the control center and produce a response
or effect that changes the controlled condition.
What is a response?
The resulting action that either increases or decreases the controlled condition.
What is the anatomical position?
Standing upright, facing the observer, head level, eyes facing forward, feet flat on the
floor, arms at the sides, palms turned forward.
What is the supine position?
Facing up.
What is the prone position?
Facing down.
What are regional names?
