Homeostasis |
| This is the most complex level of body organization. |
A system. |

Skin |
| The Connective tissues cover what? |
Bone and Cartilage |
| The Muscle tissue does what? |
Moves the body inside and out. |
| The Nervous tissue does what? |
Transmits information about the body and controls bodily functions. |
| What is the Pleura? |
A thin membrane covering organs in the THORACIC cavity AND the cavity itself. It lies on top of the visceral layer. |
| What is the Visceral layer of pleura? |
A membrane that covers the organs lies right on top. |
| What is the Parietal lay of pleura? |
Membrane that covers the WHOLE THORACIC cavity. |
| What is the condition where the pleural surfaces becomes rough from inflammation? |
Pleurisy |
| This is a large cavity that contains viscera (major soft organs), is divided into the THORAX and ABDOMEN, and the diaphragm is the dividing line. |
Ventral Cavity |
| Left means? |
Animal's left. |
| Right means? |
Animals' right. |
| Cranial means? |
Towards the head. |
| Caudal means? |
Towards the tail. |
| Dorsal means? |
Towards the back. |
| Ventral means? |
Towards the belly. |
| Palmar mean? |
Bottom or back of the front foot, weight bearing surface of the front foot. (Palm) (FRONT FEET) |
| Planter means? |
Bottom of back of the back foot, weight bearing on the surface of the back foot. (BACK FEET) |
| What single structures (organs) are generally found near the center of the body (near the MEDIAN PLANE) are? |
liver, heart, spine |
| The animal body has two main cavities, what are they? |
Smaller dorsal cavity and the larger ventral cavity. |
| What does the dorsal cavity contain? |
Brain and Spinal Cord |
| What does the cranial cavity contain? |
Cranium which protects the brain. |
| What does the spinal cavity contain? |
Spinal canal; spine |
| What is Regional Anatomy? |
The study of the areas of the body, including everything that is located in that area. (Legs, arms, etc.) |
| What is Systematic Anatomy? |
The study of specific systems of the body. (Lungs, heart, etc.) |
| What are the eleven (11) Main Body Systems? |
Skeletal, Integument, Nervous, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive, Muscular, Sensory, Endocrine, Urinary, and Reproductive |
| The Sagittal plane runs which way? |
Up and Down |
| The Midsagittal (Median) plane is what? |
A specific sagittal plane that runs down the CENTER of the body, lengthwise, dividing it into equal parts. It is parallel to the sagittal plane which may not create equal halves. |
| This plane runs across the body (with animals, vertically when looking from the side.) that divided it into cranial and caudal parts that are non necessarily equal? |
Transverse Plane |
| This plane divides the body lengthwise into the top (back of animal)? |
Dorsal Plane |
