Question | Answer |
Anatomy | Study of the STRUCTURES and the relationships among structures. |
Physiology | Study of the FUNCTIONS of those structures. |
Explain Homeostasis | Homeostasis is an inner stability of the body, even if the environment outside the body changes. |
Stress of Homeostasis | Stress disrupts homeostasis. Stress is the overall disruption that forces the body to make adaptive changes. Factors causing stress are called stressors. |
Homeostasis Feedback System | Negative Feedback - When the response is opposite to the initiating stimulus. Positive Feedback - when the response reinforces the initial stimulus. |
Name the different levels of the body organization | Chemical/Molecular Level Cellular Level Tissue Level Organ Level Organ System Level |
Midsagittal or Median Plane | Divides the body symmetrically into left and right halves |
Parasagittal or Sagittal Plane | Divides body asymmetrically into left and right parts. |
Frontal or Coronal Plane | Divides body asymmetrically into anterior and posterior sections |
Transverse or Horizontal Plane | Divides body horizontally into superior and inferior sections. |
Cranial or Cephalic | Toward the head |
Caudal | Toward the tail |
Superior | Above; to move up on a human |
Inferior | Below; to move down on a human |
Anterior = Ventral | Toward the front |
Posterior = Dorsal | Toward the back |
Medial | Toward the midline |
Lateral | Away from the midline |
Proximal | Nearer to the trunk |

Ventral (Anterior) Body Cavity | Front aspect of the body and divided into Thoracic Cavity and Abdominopelvic Cavity |
4 Types of Tissue | Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous |
11 Organ System Levels | Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Endocrine circulatory Lymphatic & Immune Respiratory Digestive Urinary Reproductive |
Dorsal Body Cavity Contains | Cranial Cavity Spinal Cavity |
Thoracic Cavity Contains: | Right Pleural Cavity - Right Lung Left Pleural Cavity - Left Lung Midiastinum - region between the pleural cavities Pericardial cavity contains the heart Aortic Arch Thoracic Aorta (descending) Superior Vena Cava Trachea Esophagus |
What muscle separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity? | Diaphragm |
