Absorption Movement of nutrients from the digestive tube to the bloodstream


Actin Protein making up the I Band of the sarcomere


Amino Acid The building block of proteins


Antibody Special proteins that protect the body from foreign substances


ATP Abbreviation for Adenosine triphosphate, which is the energy of the cell. In muscles,
this energy causes filaments to slide together to produce contraction.


Atria Upper chambers of the heart; receives blood

,Blood Consists of approximately 55% plasma and 45% formed elements (erythrocytes,
leukocytes, and platelets). Serves to transport oxygen and nutrients to body cells and
to carry away carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes


Plasma Contains about 10% proteins, ions, nutrients, waste products, and hormones, which
are dissolved or suspended in water.


Formed Element Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets; produced from stem cells in red bone marrow.


Tricuspid Valve Valve on the right side of the heart between the atrium and ventricle


Bicuspid Valve Valve on the left side of the heart between the atrium and ventricle


Semilunar Valve Found at the entrances of the pulmonary trunk and the aorta.


Sinoatrial Node Initiates the heart's intrinsic beat


Electrocardiogram Measurement of the wave of electrical activity within the heart


Systole Contraction phase of the cardiac cycle


Diastole Relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle


Muscle Contraction Results in the sliding together of actin and myosin filaments within the muscle cell or
fiber


Mitosis Necessary for growth and repair. The DNA is duplicated and distributed to 2 daughter
cells.


Meiosis Special cell division that takes place in the gonads. Chromosome number is reduced
from 46 to 23 so wen the egg and the sperm unite in fertilization the zygote will have
the correct number of chromosomes.


Skin The largest organ in the body. Consists of the epidermis and the dermis.


Epidermis Outer, most protective layer of dead keratinized epithelial cells. Contain Melanin.
Stratum corneum - stratum lucidum - stratum granulosum - stratum germinativum

Dermis Underlying layer composed of fibrous connective tissue with blood vessels, nerve

, endings, and the associated skin structures (hair follicles/glands)

and groin areas.


Sebaceous Gland Release an oily secretion through the hair follicles that lubricates the skin and
prevents drying. These glands are susceptible to becoming clogged and attracting
bacteria, particularly during adolescence.


Holocrine Secretion Produces oil; whole cells of the sebaceous gland are part of this secretion


Skeletal System Functions to support, permit movement, form blood cells (homeopoiesis), protect
internal organs, detoxify, point for muscle attachment, mineral storage (particularly
phosphorous and calcium)


Long Bone Has an irregular epiphysis at each end, composed mainly of spongy (cancellous)

continue to maintain bone tissue as osteocytes


Diaphysis The shaft composed of compact bone


Epiphysis End of each bone

vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae, and the coccygeal vertebrae) and the bones of the
thorx, the sternum and the 12 pairs of ribs


Appendicular Includes the girdles and the limbs. Upper pectoral girdle, the clavicle and the scapula,
Skeleton and the upper extremity, and the bones are the arm and hand. Pelvic Girdle or os
coxae, leg, and foot bones.


Actin Causes muscle contraction by sliding together with myosin filaments.
