 Cells
Cells are the basic units of all living things
Cells are composed of protoplasm
Cell reproduction and metabolism takes place in the center nucleus
Cytoplasm fluid surrounds the cell for growth, reproduction, repair
Anabolism­ process of building larger molecules from smaller ones
Catabolism­ breaks down compounds into smaller ones to release energy
Tissues
Connective tissue­supports, protects and binds tissues together
Epithelial tissue­ a protective covering on body surfaces
Liquid tissue­ carries food, waste and hormones thru body
Muscular tissue­ contracts and moves body
Nerve tissue­ carries messages to and from brain
1
Organs & Body Systems
Organs­groups of tissues that perform a specific function
Body systems­organs acting together to perform a function
Circulatory­ controls blood circulation thru body
Digestive­ changes food into nutrients and waste; consists of mouth, stomach, intestines, salivary & gastric glands
endocrine­ affects growth, development, sexual activity, body health
consists of specialized glands
excretory­ purifies body, eliminates waste, consists of kidneys, liver, skin,intestines, lungs
integumentary­ protective covering regulates body temperature, consists of oil, sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair and nails
muscular­ covers, shapes, and supports skeleton, consists of muscles that contract and move body
nervous­ controls all other systems, consists of brain, spinal cord and nerves
reproductive­responsible for producing offspring
respiratory­ supplies body with oxygen, consists of lungs
skeletal­ foundation of body, consists of 206 bones and joints
Osteology­ study of bones
2
Nervous System
Central Nervous System­ consist of brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves
Peripheral nervous system­ connects outer body parts to central nervous system
Autonomic nervous system­ controls involuntary muscles
Sensory nerves­ carry messages to and from brain
Motor nerves­ carry impulses from brain to muscles
5th Cranial nerve/Trifacial­ chief sensory nerve of face, controls chewing
7th Cranial/facial nerve­ chief motor nerve of face, controls facial expression
Cervical nerve/11th cranial­ affect side of neck and platysma muscle
Circulatory System
Blood vascular system­ heart, arteries, veins, capillaries
Lymph vascular system­ lymph vessels, lymph nodes & structures; carries waste and impurities from cells
Lymph nodes­ filter blood and fight infections
