inferior
toward the feet, lower half of body
superior
toward the head or upper part of the body
skeletal system
provide support and protection, allows movement w/muscles and produces blood cells
integumentary system
protects the body, temp, provides sensation, prevents water loss and helps produce vitamin D
musclar system
produces movement and maintains posture
nervous system
detects stimuli, controls body activity
endocrine system
produces hormones that regulate growht, mtabolism, and reproduction
cardiovascular system
heart and blood vessels transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waster
lymphatic(immune) system
helps defend against disease and infection
respiratory system
brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide
digestive system
breaks down food and absorbs nutrients and water
urinary system
removes waste from the blood and regulated water and electrolytes
reproductive system
produces sex cells and hormones and allows reproduction
homeostasis?
the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal temperature.
anatomical
standing straight up, feet forward, arm at side, palms facing forward
ventral
toward the front of the body
medial
toward the midline of the body
lateral
away from the midline of the body
proximal
closer to the point of attachment or origin of the body part
distal
farther from the point of attachment or origin
superfacial
toward the surface of the body

thoracic and abdominal
the nucleus contains
DNA
what does the nucleolus do
produces rRNA
what does ER do
makes and transports proteins
what does the golgi apparatus do
modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids
lysosomes?
break down cellular waste and damaged cell parts
plasma membrane is made up of
phospholipid bilayer with proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates
hypotonic solution
lower solute concentration
isotonic solutions
same solute concentration
hypertonic solution
higher solute concentration
solution
mixture of solution and solvent
solvent
larger substance
solute
smaller substance ex. salt
passive transport
movement across membrane, doesnt require ATP
active transport
movement that requires cellular energy ATP.
role of ATP
provides usable energy for many cellular processes
osmosis is
water moves towards higher concentration it is passive and it doesnt require ATP
diffusion?
moving particles from an area of higher concentration to lower (no atp)
filtration?
movement of water and small solutes across a membrane due to pressure
nervous tissue
communicates through electrical signals, ex. brain
muscle tissue
contracts to produce movement ex. cardio
connective tissue
supports body structure ex. bone, blood, cartilage
epithelial tissue
covers body surface ex. skin
cell shape depends on the
job it performs
cilia?
short, numerous hairlike structures that move substances across the cell surface
cilia found?
in respiratory tract
