Anatomical terms
what plane separates the body in right and left halves?
the median/ midsagittal plane
what system protects and supports the body organs?
the skeletal system
what system is the brain apart of?
nervous
why must homeostasis be maintained?
normal body function and to sustain life
What would happen to your body temperature if your body could not sweat?
Your body would have difficulty releasing heat and could overheat.
what is another term for the frontal plane?
coronal
what makes up anatomy and physiology?
the body's structure and mechanical functions
what are the levels of structural organization
Chemical level, Cellular level, Tissue level, Organ, Organ system, organism
what is the control center responsible for?
determining the appropriate response toward stimuli
An athlete begins exercising. Their heart rate and breathing rate increase, their muscles require more oxygen, and their body begins producing more sweat. Name at least four organ systems involved in maintaining homeostasis during exercise.
Cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, nervous, integumentary, and/or endocrine systems.
what is anatomical position?
Describe and show me!
facing forward, hands next to side, palms facing forward
what system does hormone production
the endocrine system
what do we need to survive?
nutrients, water, oxygen, stable body temp
describe negative stimulus.
it shuts off the original stimuli and brings the body back to its natural state.
A person eats a meal containing carbohydrates. Explain how the digestive, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems work together to eventually provide glucose to cells.
the digestive system breaks carbohydrates down into glucose; glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream; the pancreas releases insulin; and the cardiovascular system transports glucose through the blood to cells.
what is the difference between distal and proximal?
distal: farthest from the midline
proximal: closer to the midline
what two things are regulated through the urinary system?
water and electrolytes
what do we use words pertaining to position, direction, regions, and positions?
to prevent misunderstanding.
You walk outside on a cold day and begin shivering. How does shivering help maintain homeostasis?
Muscle contractions generate heat and help increase body temperature.
A receptor detects that blood pressure has increased. The brain processes the information and sends signals to the heart to slow its rate. Identify the receptor, control center, and effector
