How Does the Body Remain Stable?
100

What is the Cranial Cavity formed of, and what does it hold?

Formed by cranial bones and holds the brain

100
What is a group of similar tissues called?

Organs

100

Name the system: Protects internal body structures; prevents fluid loss; temperature regulation

Integuemntary

100

Name the system: Transports materials (cells, nutrients, wastes, gases) between cells & tissues

Cardiovascular

100

What is homeostasis?

The ability to maintain a relatively stable internal state in spite of external environment

200

What is the Vertebral Cavity formed of, and what does it hold?

Formed by vertebrae and contains the spinal cord

200
List the successive levels of life through increasing complexity

atoms->molecules->cells->tissues->organs->organ systems

200

Name the system: supports and protects organs; attachments for muscles; produces blood cells

Skeletal

200

Name the system: Protects against foreign invaders; returns tissue fluid to bloodstream; absorb fat

Lymphatic

200

Explain what the Receptor, Control Center, and the Effector do

Receptor: Sensitive to a particular stimulus

Control Center: Analyzes stimulus and sends commands

Effector: Structure that carries out commands

300

What are the two spaces that make up the Thoracic Cavity, and what do they store?

Pericardial: Surrounds the heart

Pleural: Surrounds both lungs

300

How many different organ systems are there, and list at least 6 of them

Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary/Excrtory, and Reproductive

300

Name the system:Moves body and its parts; maintenance of posture; production of body heat

Muscular

300
Name the system: Provides for the intake and output of air, as well as the exchange of gases

Respiratory

300

Explain what the three examples of Negative Feedback are

Thermoregulation: Body temp changes

Blood Sugar Regulation: Blood glucose changes

Osmoregulation: Water retention changes

400

Name the 6 organs that the Abdominal Cavity stores

Liver, stomach, spleen, small intestine, & most of the large intestine

400

Name the system: produces gametes; passes on genetic information

Reproductive

400

Names the system: Controls/integrates body activities; controls high function (thought/reasoning)

Nervous

400

Name the system: Supplies body with substance from which energy is derived; transports wastes

Digestive

400
Explain what the three examples of Positive Feedback are

Childbirth: stretching of uterine walls

Lactation: milk production

Blood Clotting: platelets release clotting factors

500

Name the 3 organs that your Pelvic Cavity stores

Bladder, some of the large intestine, and reproductive organs

500

Name the system: Filters waste from blood; helps maintain water and electrolyte balance

Urinary/Excretory

500

Name the system: Produces & secretes hormones that regulates metabolism, respiration, and growth

Endocrine
