study of the form or structure of all living things
What is Anatomy?
100
Body standing erect, arms at the side, palms turned forward. "Awake"
What is anatomical position?
100
Lying on your stomach
What is prone?
100
the three planes of the body

200
The study of how things work.
What is Physiology?
200
Towards the head
What is superior?
200
Towards the feet
What is inferior?

Towards the front.
What is anterior?

Holds the heart and lungs.
What is the thoracic cavity?
300
two or more organs that work together
What are systems?
400
this is the reason why we study A&P together

400
This position is lying on your back.
What is supine?
400
Towards the midline of the body.
What is medial?

What is when we understand the "normals", we can then help to understand when something is abnormal or a sickness/illness has occurred?
500
The starting point for all directional communication between healthcare workers.
What is anatomical position?
500
Towards the point of origin.
What is proximal?
500
Separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity.
What is the diaphragm?
500

Once an abnormal limit has been reached, the body wants to return to "normal" functioning which results to reaction towards the opposite. This process is called a . . .

What is a negative feedback loop?
