Measurements
This is the standard used for measurement in science and is based on decimals held to the power of 10.
What is the metric system?
This root word rhymes with the thinking organ it harbors and is defined by the word "skull."
What is crani?
In the anatomical position, the palms face this direction.
What is forward?
This cavity contains the stomach, liver, gallbladder, and other vital organs. However, the kidneys are behind this cavity.
What is the abdominal cavity?
This is what occurs when homeostasis is disrupted to reverse disturbances to the body's condition. Examples include sweating when hot to cool the body and blood vessel dilation to bring dissipate body heat.
What is a negative feedback loop?
One kilogram is the equivalent to 2.2 of this non-metric or imperial weight measurement.
What are pounds?
This prefix usually precedes terms involving the science of life.
What is bio-?
As you would describe to a physician with correct anatomical terminology, this is the tail end.
What is caudal?
This cavity is usually depicted with a division into two parts including the upper thoracic and lower abdominopelvic cavities.
What is the ventral cavity?
This function of the body is for building up complex materials from simpler ones, requiring energy.
What is anabolism?
In contrast to the imperial system's inches and feet, this is the unit of measurement used in the metric system for finding length.
This combination of the root word "ventr" and the suffix "-al" creates a term meaning "pertaining to the belly or the front side."
What is ventral?
This type of region stands to the left and right of the lower quadrants of the body, covering the broad, fan-shaped hip bones of the pelvis.
What is iliac?
This cavity has a center called the mediastinum that lies between the lungs and extends from the sternum to the vertebrae of the back.
What is the thoracic cavity?
This is what occurs when homeostasis is disrupted to increase the level of an event that has already been started. An example includes when cuts or damages to the blood vessels accumulate platelets to clot and stop bleeding.
What is a positive feedback loop?
One gram in the metric system is the equivalent to 0.035 of this imperial system measurement.
What are ounces?
This term is defined by the "process of cutting apart" and the "study of body parts by dissection"; consisting of a prefix, a root word, and a suffix.
What is anatomy?
This spot is in the center of all anatomical quadrants and has a region titled after it.
What is the umbilicus?
This cavity is smaller and is not shown in most basic cavity diagrams. It houses the heart within the thoracic cavity.
What is the pericardial cavity?
This function of the body is forbreaking down and changing complex substances into simpler ones, releasing energy and carbon dioxide.
What is catabolism?
As opposed to milligrams, this unit of metric measurement is used when liquids are involved.
What are milliliters?
This term consisting of a root word and a suffix is defined by its pertinence to the back. A fun hint involves its relation to sharks and dolphins.
What is dorsal?
This term is used to describe the location of the heart to the diaphragm due to how far above it is from the inferior organ.
What is superior?
In the thoracic cavity, two separate pleural cavities are present with one of each side of this organ inside.
What are the lungs?
This bodily event makes it difficult for cells to respond as quickly to homeostasis maintenance.
What is aging?
