Organization
This level of organization consists of groups of similar looking cells with its surrounding material working together to perform a function.
What is a tissue?
This characteristic of life involves the passing down of genetic information by the formation of new cells or new organisms.
What is reproduction?
The body’s ability to maintain itself in a steady state is known as this.
What is homeostasis?
This directional term describes the position of the antebrachium compared to the brachium
What is distal?
This body cavity contains the lungs
What is pleural cavity?
This is the smallest unit of an organism that carries out the basic function of life.
What is a cell?
This is the removal of waste products.
What is excretion?
This component of a feedback loop senses changes in the body.
What is a receptor?
When cutting the small intestine, this kind of section is along the long axis.
What is the longitudinal section?
This structure separates the the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
What is the diaphragm?
This organ system removes waste products from the blood, regulates pH and water balance.
What is the urinary system?
The process of obtaining oxygen, removing carbon dioxide and releasing energy from food.
What is respiration?
This type of feedback creates a self-amplifying change of events that leads away from the body’s normal ranges.
What is positive feedback?
The plantar region refers to this part of the body.
What is the bottom of the foot
This serous membrane covers the surface of the heart.
What is the visceral pericardial membrane?
This organ system transports nutrients, waste products, gases and hormones throughout the body and regulates body temperature.
What is the cardiovascular system
The body’s ability to produce energy for muscle contraction during exercise by the breakdown of glycogen into glucose is this.
What is metabolism?
Childbirth is an example of this type of feedback.
What is positive feedback?
This is the body region on the back of the knee.
What is the popliteal region?
This serous membrane covers the surface of the heart.
What is the visceral pericardial membrane?
This organ system contains the larynx and pharynx.
This process involves unspecialized cells changing into cells with a specialized function
What is differentiation?
The type of feedback loop exhibited when a person has not taken in sufficient water they become dehydrated. This may cause a loss of blood pressure, which will trigger the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. This hormone signals the kidney to allow reabsorption of water by the blood vessels to bring the blood pressure back to normal conditions.
What is negative feedback?
This region is called the sural region.
This group of organs are not located within the peritoneum.
What are retroperitoneal organs?
