Unit IV Review Sheet
Human Anatomy and Physiology
This is not designed to replace
your class notes and/or chapter outlines!!
although it will certainly help
This is a good review site for this Unit: PATTS anatomy page
Tissues:
epithelial, connective, visceral (muscle, nervous, etc.)
Digestive system:
Anatomy of the system
Alimentary canal and accessory glands, appendix
How food moves through the system
Chemical vs. mechanical digestion
Enzymes
Salivary amylase, gastric juice, pepsin, pancreatic juice, bile, and intestinal juice
What is a nutrient
Where do different nutrients get digested/absorbed
Digestion vs. absorption
Chemical vs. mechanical digestion (where and what)
Adaptations for increased surface area
Circulatory System:
closed vs. open circulation
Basic parts of closed circ sys - pump, vessels, transport medium (blood)
Anatomy (chambers and musculature) and flow of blood through the heart
definitions and characteristics of the blood vessels
Veins,
arteries, capillaries
the four components of blood - characteristics and functions
Blood types and transfusions - antigens and antibodies present in each type (ABO)
cell recognition and the immune response
antigens, antibodies
basics of B and T cells
immunity - passive and active
immunizations
AIDS
Respiratory system:
Anatomy of the system
Asthma and lung capacity
How is it measured?
3 types of lung capacity
respiratory surfaces
adaptations for increased surface area
what gases are exchanged and how
difference between "breathing" and "respiration."
how the two terms are connected
function of cilia and mucus
inhalation and exhalation - muscles involved --> diaphragm and intercostals
Excretory system:
Liver - why does blood from the small intestine flow through the liver before
going anywhere else?
Detoxification, bile, deamination (urea, amino acids etc.)
Skin à sweat and heat
Lungs à CO2, H2O
and heat
Urinary system
Kidneysà anatomy, nephron
reabsorption vs. filtration
urine à contents
Nervous system:
