Body Systems
This system helps with posture, facial expression, movement, and heat production.
Muscular System
This function of life is aided by the skeletal and muscular system.
Movement
Define homeostasis and why is it important?
A relatively stable internal environment that the body works to maintain.
What is the difference between the acromial and the axillary region?
Acromial= Shoulder
Axillary= Armpits
This cavity contains the bladder and some reproductive organs
Pelvic Cavity
This system is made of skin, hair, and nails.
Integumentary System
This function of life ensures waste is properly removed from an organism.
Excretion
Describe the organization of an organism starting from the simplest to the most complex.
Chemicals-Cells-Tissues-Organ-Organism
Where is the sural region?
Posterior calf
What two cavities make up the dorsal cavity?
This system transports nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body.
Circulatory System
This function of life includes all the chemical reactions that take place in an organism.

Negative Feedback
What are all the regions along the spine starting with the superior going to the most inferior?
Cervical-Vertebral-Lumbar-Sacral
What cavities make up the Ventral Cavity?
The Thoracic and the Abdominopelvic
This system is responsible for the creation of blood cells.
The Skeletal System
This function of life entails increasing in size and complexity over their lifetime.
Growth/ Development
What is the difference between negative and positive feedback and name an example of each.
Positive: increases original stimulus
Ex. Blood Clotting, Contractions in Pregnancy
Negative: decreases original stimulus
Ex. Temperature, Blood Pressure, Heartrate, Glucose Levels, etc.
