Anatomy & Physiology Semester 1 Test Anatomy (ANS- Studies the structure of body parts
Physiology (ANS- Studies the functions of body parts
Metabolism (ANS- The sum of all the total chemical reactions in the body that break substances down and build them up
Homeostasis (ANS- The condition of a stable internal environment
List the parts of a homeostatic mechanism (ANS- Receptors, set point, and effectors
Receptors (ANS- Provide information about specific conditions in the internal environment
Set point (ANS- Determines what a particular value should be
Effectors (ANS- Cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment

Integumentary system (ANS- Protects underlying tissues, help regulate body temperature, house sensory receptors, and synthesize certain products
Organs- skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands
Skeletal system (ANS- Provide frameworks and protective shields for softer tissues, attachments for muscles, act with muscles to move body parts, produce blood cells, and store inorganic salts
Organs- bones, ligaments and cartilages that bind bones together
Muscular system (ANS- Provide forces that move body parts, maintain posture, and are the main source of body heat
Organs- muscles
Nervous system (ANS- Receives impulses from sensory parts, interprets these impulses, and acts on them by stimulating muscles or glands to respond
Organs- brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs
