Potpourri
This covers or lines body surfaces.
What is epithelial cells/tissue?
This the state of dynamic equilibrium of the internal environment of the body.
What is homeostasis?
This is the body system that produces immune cells?
What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It produces and releases lymphocytes (white blood cells) and other immune cells that monitor and then destroy the foreign invaders — such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi — that may enter your body.
These are the smallest living units that make up the body's structure.
What are cells?
DAILY DOUBLE-DAILY DOUBLE-DAILY DOUBLE
Most systems supporting homeostasis operate by this type of feedback?
What is negative (feedback)?
This is the body system consisting of skin, hair, and nails.
What is the integumentary system?
These are the three parts of the small intestine.
What are the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum?
The liver spans over how many abdominal regions?
What is four (4)?
1. RT hypochondriac, 2. epigastric, 3. LT hypochondriac, 4. RT lumbar
These are the tiny functioning units of a cell.
What are organelles?
nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria
Examples of this type of tissue include: bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue.
What is connective (tissue)?
Bone is a specialized connective tissue consisting of cells, fibers and ground substance. Unlike other connective tissues, its extracellular components are mineralized giving it substantial strength and rigidity.
This is the top, middle region of the abdomen.
What is epigastric (region)?
DAILY DOUBLE-DAILY DOUBLE-DAILY DOUBLE
This is a group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
What is tissue?
The pancreas is an organ that has a function in two (2) organ systems, the digestive system and which other?
What is the digestive system?
During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones.
This is the body system involved in hormone production.
What is the endocrine system?
The endocrine system is made up of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries and testes. These glands produce and secrete hormones into the bloodstream for use elsewhere in the body.
This plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions.
What is the frontal (coronal) plane?
Anatomy is the study of ____; and, physiology is the study of ______.
What are structure and function?
This divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions at the waist.
What is the transverse (horizontal) plane?
This plane divides the body into left and right sides.
What is the sagittal or midsagittal plane?
These are the four (4) types of tissue found in the human body.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nerve?
This system plays a key role in blood formation.
What is the skeletal system?
Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow are called hemocytoblasts. They give rise to all of the formed elements in blood.
Giving birth (releasing oxytocin to produce contractions) is an example of this.
What is positive feedback?
This system helps regulate blood volume and pressure. (Hint: it is not the circulatory (cardiovascular) system)
What is the urinary system?
The kidneys regulate circulatory blood volume by controlling sodium and water balance.
The urinary system also plays a role in maintaining normal blood pressure by secreting the enzyme renin.

The dorsal cavity contains which two cavities?
What are the cranial and spinal cavities?
DAILY DOUBLE-DAILY DOUBLE-DAILY DOUBLE
To maintain homeostasis, a system must have these three (3) components.
What are receptor, control center, and effector?
Two (2) or more atoms combine to form this.
What is a molecule?
