Cards

Term
Physiology
Definition
Study of the integrated functions of the body and the function of all its parts (systems, organs, tissues, cells, and cell components.) (How do the parts function together?) Ex: The ROLE of Mitochondria
Term
Anatomy
Definition
Science that deals with the form and structure of all organisms (Ex: Mitochondria)
Term
Subdivisions of Anatomy
Definition
Gross (macroscopic)
Comparative Anatomy
Histology (microscopic anatomy)
Ultrastructural Cytology
Embryology
Term
Gross (macroscopic) Anatomy
Definition
Study of the form and relative position) that can be seen with the unaided eye
Term
Comparative Anatomy
Definition
Study of the structures of various animal species, with particular emphasis on those characteristics that aid in classification
Term
Histology (microscopic anatomy)
Definition
Study of tissues and cells that can be seen only with the aid of a microscope
Term
Ultrastructural Cytology
Definition
Visualized or studied with the aid of electron microscope
Term
Embryology
Definition
Study of the developmental anatomy, covering the period from conception (fertilization) to birth.
Term
Organizational Plan of Anatomy (Different levels of anatomy and example)
Definition
Whole animal (bovine)
System (Respiratory)
Organs (Lungs)
Tissue (Alveoli)
Cells (Alveolar Cells)
Organelles (Mitochondria)
Molecules (ATP)
Elements (Oxygen, Carbon, and Hydrogen)
Term
Cranial
Definition
(Anterior) Towards head
Term
Caudal
Definition
(Posterior) Towards tail
Term
Proximal
Definition
Near the trunk or origin of the limb
Term
Distal
Definition
Farther from the trunk
Term
Dorsal
Definition
Toward the back
Term
Ventral
Definition
Toward the belly
Term
Rostral
Definition
Part of the head closer to the nose
Term
Lateral
Definition
Away from the longitudinal axis
Term
Palmar
Definition
Below the proximal ends of the carpus
Term
Plantar
Definition
Below the proximal ends of the tarsus, planar replaces caudal
Term
Medial
Definition
Toward the longitudinal axis (midline)
Term
Transverse
Definition
Divides the body into cranial and caudal parts
Term
Frontal
Definition
Longitudinal plane passing through the body parallel to dorsal surface and at right angles to the median plane
Term
Sagittal
Definition
Divides body into unequal right and left halves
Term
KNOW HOW TO DRAW THE STIFLE
Definition
AKA THE KNEE
Term
Protoplasm
Definition
Living material in cells
Term
Nucleus
Definition
Houses chromosomes and contains most of the cells genetic material (DNA)
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
Outside the nucleus and fills the cell. Think of it like a gel
Term
Cell membrane
Definition
Thin covering which encloses the cell
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Energy Production (ATP)
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
Ribosome synthesis (rRNA) which is mainly involved in assembly of ribosomoes
Term
Chromatin
Definition
makes up the chromosomes- loose arrangement. DNA and protein that makes up chromosomes.
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
Membranes in the cytoplasm
Term
Rough ER
Definition
Ribosomes, synthesize proteins
Term
Smooth ER
Definition
Lack ribosomes, synthesize steroids, fatty acids and phospholipids
Term
Ribosome
Definition
Site of protein synthesis
Term
Golgi complex
Definition
Process and package the macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell. It is particularly important in the processing of proteins for secretion.
Term
Inclusions (cytoplasmic)
Definition
Chemical substances that may or may not be present in a cell, depending on the cell type. Inclusions are stored nutrients, secretory products, and pigment granules. Examples of inclusions are- glycogen granules in the liver and muscle cells; lipid droplets in fat cells; pigment granules in certain cells of skin and hair; water containing vacuoles; and crystals of various types.
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
inclusions containing degrading (digesting enzymes). They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome prevents the digestive enzymes inside from destroying the cell.
Term
Centrioles
Definition
Cell movement organelle including cell division
Term
Microtubules and Microfilaments
Definition
Give shape to cells. Very important in muscle and nerves
Term
Tissue
Definition
groups of specialized cells or cells of similar characteristics, including function
Term
What are the types of tissue?
Definition
Epithelium
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
Blood and Lymph
Term
Epithelium
Definition
Covers Surfaces
Term
Conective
Definition
Holds things together/storage (fat-adipose)
Term
Muscle
Definition
Contracts
Term
Nervous
Definition
Conduction
Term
Blood and Lymph
Definition
