Body Planes & Cavities
The plane that divides the body into superior and inferior portions.
What is the transverse plane?
The maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation.
What is homeostasis?
The anatomical term which best describes a structure toward the head.
What is superior?
Supports and protects the cell's organelles. It is where glycolysis take place during cellular respiration
What is the cytoplasm?
The multitude of chemical reactions constantly going on within the body's cells.
What is metabolism?
This body cavity houses the heart and lungs.
What is the thoracic cavity?
The human body is often maintained by this feedback loop; conditions exceeding a set limit in one direction trigger a negative reaction in the opposite direction
What is negative feedback loop?
The arm is this to the hand.
What is proximal?
One molecule of glucose will generate heat and how many molecules of ATP
What is 38?
The organ systems that initiate most homeostatic responses and important in maintaining homeostasis.
What is the endocrine system and the nervous system?
This body plane divides the body into EQUAL right and left halves.
What is midsagittal plane?
Factors that change in the organism's internal or external environment produced by a stimulus (e.g. blood pressure, body temperature, etc.)
What are variables?
The anatomical term that describes the back region of the body.
What is dorsal?
What is physiology?
This type of tissue controls the body and responsible for receiving and sending stimuli to communicate with the rest of the body.
What is nervous tissue?
Removing the uterus and ovaries would require surgery in this body cavity.
What is the pelvic cavity?
Increases disruptive influences and involved in accelerating blood clotting, transmitting nerve signals, and stimulating contractions during childbirth; contrast to negative feedback
What is positive feedback?
When a subject is standing upright facing the observer with palms forward.
What is anatomical position?
Describes a groups of cells that are similar in structure and perform a specific function
What are tissues?
The process through which complex molecules such as proteins are constructed from simpler ones.
What is anabolism?
Sideway movements occur in this plane
What is the frontal plane?
Organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis through this process?
What is homeostatic mechanisms?
The shoulder blade is _____ to the vertebral column.
What is lateral?
Smooth (Visceral), Skeletal, Cardiac
What are the three types of muscle tissues?
Complex molecules such as carbohydrates are broken down into simpler molecules
What is catabolism?
