The internally placed dome shaped muscle that forms a partition between the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
What is the diaphragm

The respiratory system can be divided into 2 parts. One that transports air and one where gas exchange occurs.
What is the conducting and respiratory portion
100
The colour of the white matter in the brain is given by this structure
What is myelin
100
This organ performs both exocrine and endocrine functions.
What is the pancreas
200
The characteristic of no bleeding associated with a cut
What is avascularity
200
The neck is part of which vertebral column section.
What is the cervical region
200
The 2 muscles involved in quiet regular rhythmic breathing.
What are the diaphragm and external intercostals
200
The number of pairs of cranial nerves
What is 12
200
This structure is considered the "master" control centre of the endocrine system
What is the hypothalamus
300
These cells readily change their shape or appearance depending upon how stretched the epithelium becomes
What is transitional epithelium
300
The muscles of this wall work together to stabilize and flex the vertebral column
What is the abdominal wall
300
These curled bony structures allow for slowing down the passage of air through the upper respiratory tract.
What are the conchae
300
This is the largest dural septa in the brain
What is the falx cerebri
300
This hormone is released from the anterior pituitary to act on the thyroid gland.
What is TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
400
This type of epithelium tissue can be mistaken for being multilayered
What is pseudo stratified epithelium
400
This muscle is contracted when kissing!
What is the orbicular oris
400
This respiratory centre in the CNS allows for a smooth transition between inhalation and exhalation.
What is the pontine respiratory centre
400
This structures links the cerebellum to the medulla oblongata
What are the cerebellar peduncles
400
These hormones are produced from the adrenal medulla.
What is epinephrine and norepinephrine
500
This type of epithelium forms the walls of sweat glands and the other larger ducts of multiple exocrine glands
What is stratified cuboidal epithelium
500
This muscle group is antagonistic to the external intercostals in the mechanics of respiration.
What are the internal intercostals
500
Inhalation of foreign objects can lead to infection of lung tissue. These key organs in the upper respiratory tract play a role in blocking incoming pathogens.
What are the tonsils
500
This anatomical structure oversees endocrine and ANS functioning?
What is the hypothalamus

Brad eats a donut and his blood glucose levels rise. This causes insulin to be released and thus reduce his blood glucose levels afterwards. This is an example of what type of feedback loop?
