Cavities
Contains the cranial cavity and the vertebral canal; brain and spinal cord.
Dorsal Cavity
The branch of biology that studies the structure and function of cells.
Cytology
A body part towards the front
Anterior (ventral)
A single barrage of ___passes through the body, producing an image of interior structures on ___sensitive film. The resulting two-dimensional image is a radiograph, commonly called an
Xrays
provides a protective barrier for the body, contains sensory receptors for pain, touch, temperature, Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, protects the deeper tissues from injury, infection, and dehydration, & synthesis vitaminD.
Integumentary
Extends lengthwise and divides the body into right and left portions. A midsagittal plane passes exactly through the midline of the body.
Sagittal plane
What is the anatomical term given to someone lying face up?
Supine
Space in the head containing the brain and surrounded by the skull.
Cranial Cavity
The branch of biology that studies the microscopic structure of tissues.
Histology
A body part located towards the back.
Posterior (dorsal)
Visualizes soft tissues and organs with much more detail than conventional radiographs.
Computed Tomography (CT) or CAT Scan
System consists of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints, provides our body's framework giving us shape, support, and protects body organs and the muscle use the frame work for movement. Blood cells are formed w/in bone (bone marrow) Bones store minerals.
Skeletal
Extends lengthwise, but is perpendicular to a sagittal plane and divides the body or an organ into anterior and posterior portions.
Frontal Plane
The two organ systems that predominantly regulate and maintain homeostasis are the:
nervous and endocrine systems.
Space the runs w/in the bony vertebral column, encloses the delicate spinal cord and fluids, continuous w/ the brain and spinal & cranial cavities continuous w/ each other.
Spinal Cavity
The study of cancer
Oncology
A body part is located above another part.
Superior
A visual display of brain activity that detects where a radioactive form of glucose goes while the brain performs a given task. best use to detect Alzheimer
Positron Emission Tomography or PET scan
Made up of smooth, skeletal, and cardiac; function in movement of the body, produces heat, maintain posture, allows manipulation of the environment locomotion and facial expressions.
Muscular
Perpendicular to the body's long axis and therefore divides the body horizontally to produce a cross section. Cuts the organs into superior and inferior portions.
Transverse Plane
The sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body is termed:
metabolism
Includes the anterior & larger of the closed body cavities (thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities)& separated by the diaphragm.
Ventral Cavity
The scientific study of the behavior, structure, physiology, classification, and distribution of animals.
Zooology
A body part is below another part.
Inferior
A technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images that distinguish among different types of soft tissue; allows us to see structures within the brain. Can see smaller areas.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI
Maintains homeostasis; regulates metabolism, water and mineral balance, growth and sexual development, and reproduction.
Endocrine
The position of the body to which health professionals refer when noting body planes, positions, or directions: the person is assumed to be standing upright (erect), facing forward, feet pointed forward ad slightly apart, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward, thumbs away from body;
Anatomical Position
How many Super Bowls has Tom Brady won?
The cavity in the vertebrate body enclosed by the ribs/muscle in the chest between the diaphragm and the neck and containing the lungs and heart.
Thoracic Cavity
The branch of biology that studies the formation and early development of living organisms.
Embryology
A body part is nearer than another part to an imaginary midline of the body.
Medial
An image of a structure that is produced by ultrasonography (reflections of high-frequency sound waves)
Sonogram
Returns leak fluid from blood vessels to blood cardiovascular system. Immune response detects, filters, and eliminates disease causing organisms., system includes lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen and tonsils; houses white blood cells.
Lymphatic
A cut made diagonally between the horizontal and vertical plane of the body or an organ, seldom used because of confusion
Oblique Section
The ______peritoneum surrounds organs and the _____peritoneum lines the _______
Parietal; visceral; thoracic cavity
