Critical thinking questions 2 and 4:
2.
4.
Review Exercises: Part A:2,4,6,7,11,13, and 14
2. Anatomy deals with the structures of body parts and Physiology considers the functions of these body parts.
4. movement- change in position of the body or of a body part. responsiveness- reaction to a change taking place inside ir ourtside the body. growth- increase in the body size without change in shape. reproduction- production of new organism and new cells. respiration- obtaining oxygen, using oxygen in releasing energy from foods, and removing carbon dioxide. digestion- breakdown of food substances into simpler forms that can be absorbed and used. absorption- passage of substances through membranes and into body fluids. circulation-movement of sunstances from place to place in body fluids. assimilation- changing of absored substances into chemically different forms. excretion- removal of wastes preduced by metabolic reactions.
6. water is the most abundant substance in the body. food refers to substances that provide organisms with necessary chemicals {nutrients} in addition to water. oxygen is a gas that makes up about one-fifth of the air. heat is a form of energy. pressure is an application of force on an object or substance.
7.
11. homeostasis is the consequence of a self-regulating control system that operates by a mechanism called negative feedback.
13. the human organism can be divided into an axial portions, which includes the head, neckm and trunk, and an appendicular portion, which includes the upper and lower limbs.
14. ventral cavity- hollow place within the body including the thoracic, abdominal, and pekvic cavities. and dorsal cavity-a hollow space in the posterior portion of the body containing the cranial cavity and vertebral canal.
Part B: 1 and 3
1. (a)stomach-abdominal cavity (b)heart-thoracic cavity (c)brain-dorsal cavity (d)liver-abdominal cavity (e)trachea (f)rectum (g) spinal cordventral cavity (h)esophagus-dorsal cavity (i)spleen- ventral cavity (j) urinary bladder-pelvic cavity

Chapter 3 page 107-108
Critical Thinking 1
1. Osmosis
Review Exercises 2,3,12,13 and 14
2.
3. Cell membrane- the outermost limit of a cell, but it is more than a simple boundary surrounding the cellular contents.
12. (a)endoplasmic reticulum- a complex organelle composed of membrane-bound flattened sacs, elongated canals, and fluid-filled vesicles. (b)ribosome-composed of protein and RNA. (c) golgi apparatus- composed of a stack of half a dozen or so flattened, membranous sacs called cisternae. (d)mitchondria-contains a small of amount of DNA that encodes information for making a few kinds of proteins and specialized RNA. (e)lysosomes-"garbage disposal" of the cell, whose function os to dismantle debris. (f)peroxisomes- membranous sacs that resemble lysosomes in size and shape. (g)(h)flagella- enable sperm cells to move (i)centrosome-nonmembranous structure composed of two rodlike centrioles (j)vesicle-membranous sacs (k-l) microfilaments and microtubes- thin rods and tubules
13.nucleus- cellualr organelle that is enclosed by a double-layered, porous membrane and contains DNA; the dense core of an atom that is composed of protons and neutrons.
14. facilitated diffusion is similar to simple diffusion in that it can move molecules only from regions of higher concentration toward regions of lower concentration.
Chapter 5 page 167
Review Exercise 1,2 and 12
1. in all complex organisms, cells are organized into layers or groups called
2. Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
12. Connective- Mostly have good blood supply, cells are farther apart than cells of epithelial, with matrix in between.

Organization of Human Body Worksheet!

1.Explain the difference between anatomy and physiology. Anatomy studies the structure that makes up the human body and Physiology studies the funtion of the structures that make up the human body.
2.Please organize the following structures in order from smallest to largest: system, tissue, organ, and cell. cell, tissue, organ, system
3.In the term physiology the suffix -logy means what? study
4.What is the type of membrane that lines all of the passages leading the exterior? Mucous
5.What do you call a mass of cells that all perform the same function?
6.What type of tissue is specialized for the conduction of nerve impulses?
7.The term epidermis contains a prefix and a root term. What is the root in this word and what does it mean? What is the prefix in this word and what does it mean? derm(skin)
8.The term cavity appears frequently in this lesson. What does it mean?
9.Name the four main types of tissue and describe their function. Epithehial-covers the entire surface of the body. Connectives- supports and protects....ie bones, cartilage adipose(fat) Muscle specialized for contractions. Nerve-specialized for the conduction of neural impulse.
10.A cell is made of ____cytoplasm__ except for the nucleus which is made of _protoplasm_.
11.What type of membrane lines joint cavities and outer surfaces of bones? fibrous
12.What is an organ system? interconnected parts that function together.
13.Name the five types of membranes and where each is located. Cutaneous (outer most layer) Mucous (all passageways that lead to the exterior of the body) Fibrous (all joint cavities {the shoulder, knee} also covers the outer surface of bones. Serous ( closed cavities and the organs that are in them)Fascia (superficial fasica and deep fascial)
14.What is the function of the cell membrane? The nucleus?
15.The cutaneous membrane is made of two distinct layers. Name each of these layers and describe what they are made of. Epidermis (outermost layer) and Dermis (corium) compose mainly of connective tissue and microscope organs.

2. Sagittal plane-of the human body is an imaginary plane that travels from the top to the bottom of the body, dividing it into left and right portions
3. Transverse plane- of the human body is any imaginary slice made that cuts the body into top and bottom sections.
