What is Anatomy

A condition of equilibrium, or balance, in the body’s internal environment
What is Homeostasis
100
Person standing erect, facing the observer, the upper extremities are places at the sides, the palms of the hands are turned forward, and the feet are flat on the floor. Remember, the observer's left is the person's right and their right is the observer's left.
What is Anatomical Position
100

100
Contains the brain.
What is Cranial Cavity

The study of how structures function.
What is Physiology
200
The part of the brain responsible for mediating the control of body temperature
What is the Hypothalamus
200
Toward the head, or the upper part of a structure.
What is Superior
200
A sagittal plane that does not pass through the midline but, instead, divides the body or organ into unequl right and life sides.
What is Parasagittal Plane
200
Contains three smaller cavities, the mediastinum, pleura and pericardium as well as the thymus, heart, lungs, esophagus, trachea and several large blood vessels.
What is The Thoracic Cavity
300
Levels of structural organization and body systems.
What is chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system and organismal levels.
300
Receptor, control center, effector.
What is the Three Basic Components of a Feedback System
300
Nearer or at the front of the body.
What is Anterior or Ventral
300
Plane the divides the body or organ into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.
What is Transverse Plane
300
Cavity subdivided into two portions and contains the stomach, spleen, gallbladder, most and portions of the large intestine, urinary bladder and organs of reproduction.
What is Abdominopelvic cavity
400
A type of burn that involves both the epidermis and the dermis; has symptoms of redness, pain, swelling and blisters and can take up to 2 weeks to heal without scarring.
What is a second-degree burn
400
Reverses a change in a controlled condition.
What is Negative Feedback System (Loop) Daily Double: Give an example.
400
Nearer to the midline (an imaginary vertical line that divides the body into equal right and left sides).
What is Medial
400
A vertical plane that divides the body or organ into right and left sides.
What is Sagittal Plane
400
A dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
What is the Diaphram
500
A condition in which individuals have no pigment in their skin and appendages of the skin, with resultant white hair, pink eyes, and very fair skin.
What is Albinism
500
Strengthens or reinforces a change in one of the body's controlled conditions.
What is Positive Feedback System (Loop) Daily double: Give an example.
