Human Anatomy Unit 1 Flashcards
"lock-and-key" model - ANS - the shape of an enzyme and that of the reactants allow
the enzyme to bind easily to the reactants
Abdomen - ANS - region between the thorax and pelvis
Abdominal - ANS - abdomen
Abdominal Cavity - ANS - bounded primarily by the abdominal muscles and contains
the stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys
acromial - ANS - point of shoulder
Activation Energy - ANS - the energy necessary to start a chemical reaction
Active Transport - ANS - low to high concentration, uses ATP
Amino Acids - ANS - building blocks of protein
Anatomic Position - ANS - refers to a person standing erect with face directed
forward, upper limbs hanging to the sides, and the palms of the hands facing forward
Anatomy - ANS - scientific discipline that investigates structures of the body, means
"to dissect" or cut apart and separate
antebrachial - ANS - forearm
antecubital - ANS - front of elbow
Anterior - ANS - front
Arm - ANS - extends from the shoulder to the elbow
arms and legs - ANS - What are proximal and distal ONLY used to describe?
, axillary - ANS - arm pit
bilayer of phospholipids - ANS - What is a plasma membrane made of?
Bones, Associated Cartilages, Ligaments, and Joints - ANS - What organs/body parts
are associated with the Skeletal System?
brachial - ANS - arm
brain, spinal cord, nerve, cauda equina (sensory receptors) - ANS - What organs/body
parts are associated with the Nervous System?
buccal - ANS - cheek
Bulk Transport - ANS - transports in bulk, endocytosis, exocytosis
calcaneal - ANS - heel
Carbohydrates - ANS - hydrated carbon, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
atoms, examples include monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
carpal - ANS - wrist
Cells - ANS - basic structural and functional units of organisms, such as plants and
animals
Cephalic - ANS - head
Cervical - ANS - neck
Chemical, Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism - ANS - What are the six
structural and functional organization the body can be studied at?
Childbirth - ANS - contractions increase until a baby is born
clavicular - ANS - collar bone
concentration gradient - ANS - measure of the difference in the concentration of a
solute in a solvent between two points divided by the distance between the two points
