Science 101
This is an idea or principle to be test.
What is, a hypothesis?
This term is used to refer to the processes for maintaining and/or restoring homeostasis.
What is, a homeostatic mechanism?
This is the study of structure of an organism and the relationship to its parts.
What is, Anatomy?
The basis of all life is _____.
What is, chemistry?
This term is used to describe the right and left sides of the body as mirror images of each other.
What is, Bilateral Symmetry?
The three main body planes are:
What is: Sagittal, Coronal, and Transverse?
The three subdivisions of Physiology are:
What is: Organism, Organizational and System Function?
This hollow section is what houses each internal organs.
What is, a cavity?
This term is often described as a steady state.
What is, Homeostasis?
Something that has been proven via experiments.
What is, a theory?
A response pathway is composed of:
What is, the sensor, integrator and effector?
In the _________, the body is in an erect, or standing, posture with the arms at the sides and palms turned forward. The head and feet are also pointing forward.
What is, the anatomical position?
These are organized chemical structures within cells.
What are, organelles?
Your right hand and your left elbow are an example of:
What is, Contralateral?
These are lines of orientation along which sections can be made to divide the body.
What are, body planes?
The field of Physiology helps us understand ________.
What is, how the body works?
The Ventral cavity is composed of these two subdivisions:
What is, the Thoracic Cavity and the Abdominopelvic Cavity?
____ is what makes up the body's internal environment, which is where the body's cells live.
What is, the ECF?
The scientific method is composed of:
What is: hypothesis, experiment, and theory?
This lets the body know when the set point is restored and the effectors can relax.
What is, feedback?
The study of the body that focuses on groups of organs that have a common function is called ________.
What is, systemic anatomy?
____ are able to differentiate to perform unique functions.
What are, cells?
The reference point of the "closest to bottom of the body", the hand is ____ in relation to the feet.
What is, Distal? We also would've accepted Inferior.
____ divides the body into superior and inferior sections.
What is, Transverse?
Neurophysiology, Respiratory Physiology and Cardiovascular Physiology are examples of ______.
What is, systemic function?
These two planes pass through the abdominopelvic cavity into four quadrants.
What is, the midsagittal and transverse? We would've also accepted sagittal as well.
Homeostasis is a critically important concept in modern physiology, and it is maintained via _____.
What is, self-regulation?
Theories are absolute, no changes are possible; yes or no?
What is incorrect, theories, as well as science, are always changing?
This type of feedback is stimulatory, does not help the body maintain a stable homeostatic balance and brings a specific body function(s) to rapid completion.
What is, Positive Feedback?
This is the study of tissues.
What is, histology?
A matrix, which are varying amounts of non-living intercellular substances, is an example of this level of organization.
What is, Tissue?
The femur bone is ____ to the hamstrings.
What is, deep? We would have accepted superficial, proximal as well as anterior.
A plane that is parallel with the short axis or an organ is due to _____.
What is, a cross-section?
Anatomical parts have _____ exactly suited to perform _____.
What is, structures and functions?
The thoracic cavity that contains heart and other structures are referred to as the _____.
What is, the mediastinum?
The heartbeat is a ____ variable, while a drop in blood pressure, with the response of increased heart rate is a _______ variable.
What is, regulated and nonregulated respectively?
This ancient civilization is credited with the development of science.
What is, Mesopotamia? We also would've accepted ancient Egypt.
This is also called local control or autoregulation and often makes use of chemical signals.
What is, intracellular control?
The Greek words "ana" and "tome" are used to define this field of biology.
What is, anatomy?
This system controls and regulates other systems.
What is, the Endocrine System?
The scapula (shoulder blade) is _________ to the vertebral column.
What is, Posterolateral?
The scapula (shoulder blade) is located on the back side of the body, away from the midline and towards the outer side. It is positioned posteriorly (towards the back) and laterally (away from the midline) to the vertebral column. Therefore, the correct answer is "posterolateral".
This cut results in a plane that is not at a right angle(s) to the planes.
What is, an oblique section?
Each characteristic of life is related to ______.
What is, the sum of all physical and chemical reactions inside the body? We also would've accepted metabolism.
This region consists of the upper and lower extremities and their connections to the axial portion.
What is, Appendicular?
Homeostasis is often envisioned as a "big walking fish bowl", briefly explain how this model is a good descriptor.
Our cells are the fish and all the little tubes and gizmos are systems that keep the water in the fishbowl – internal fluid environment – stable
All other accessories are like the accessories you use in your fishbowl; urinary system is like a filter, respiratory system is like aquarium air pump
