Anatomical Directions/Tissues/Homeostasis
This plane divides the body into anterior and posterior sections?
What is the coronal or frontal plane?
Tree-like part of the neuron that receives and transmits signals from other neurons.
What is a dendrite?
The 3 layers of the skin.
What is the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis?
This is responsible for the production of blood cells, protecting internal organs, and storing calcium and magnesium.
What is bone?
This type of muscle is involved in voluntary movement.
What is skeletal muscle?
Bone and blood are this type of tissue.
What is connective tissue?
Part of the nervous system that transmits sensory information to the brain and spinal cord to produce a motor response through sensory and motor neurons.
What is the peripheral nervous system (PNS)?
The contents of sweat.
What is water, salt, and urea?
This area of long bone has dividing cells that are responsible for growth during childhood and adolescence.
What is the epiphyseal plate?
Bundles of muscle fibers surrounded by connective tissue.
What is skeletal muscle?
Thermoregulation, Fluid Balance, and Blood Glucose Regulation are all examples of this kind of homeostatic process.
What is a negative feedback loop?
A nerve impulse characterized by a depolarization of the resting membrane potential.
These glands are involved in thermoregulation of body temperature for homeostasis.
What are eccrine sweat glands?
The longest long bone in the arm.
What is the humerus?
Lactic acid is produced in muscles cells after this type of cellular respiration.
Childbirth is an example of this homeostatic mechanism.
What is a positive feedback loop?
What is an interneuron?
The tissue types that make up the skin.
What is epithelial and connective tissue?
Irregular bone that protects the spinal cord.
These two proteins form cross bridges in the sarcomere of muscle fibers to shorten them or make a contraction.
What are actin and myosin?
The small changes made as our bodies responds to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis.
What is dynamic equilibrium?
The brain change in the hippocampus that happens with learning.
What is neurogenesis?
Protects people from the harmful effects of UV radiation but limits the body's ability to produce vitamin D.
What is melanin?
Factors important for osteoblast/osteoclasts and bone development, growth, and repair.
Disease characterized by decrease in bone mass as we age.
What is Vitamin D/Calcium, hormones, age, and physical exercise?
What is osteoporosis?
This sends a message to skeletal muscle by releasing acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction to cause a muscle contraction.
What is a motor neuron?
