BSC2085 - Quiz 2
Anatomy - Maser
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Negative Feedback | change in opposite direction |
| Negative Feedback by Nervous System | reverse stimulus --> return to set point |
| Negative Feedback by Endocrine System | Blood Glucose |
| Blood Glucose Set Point | 90 mg glucose/100 ml blood |
| Glucose too high | insulin (from pancreas) stores glucose as glycogen |
| Glycogen | glucose stored in pancreas |
| Glucose too low | Glucagon (from pancreas) releases glucose from storage |
| Glucagon | releases glucose from pancreas |
| Positive Feedback | change in same direction = increase stimulus |
| Positive Feedback in Cardiovascular System | Blood Clotting - chemicals attract more platelets and clot forms |
| Positive Feedback in Reproductive System | labor contractions - baby's pressure in birth canal --> release of hormone oxytocin --> more contractions |
| Oxytocin | hormone release to increase contractions |
| Homeostatic Imbalance | disease (pathology) |
| Pathology | deviation from a healthy or normal condition |
| Anatomical Position | body erect; arms at sides; palms forward; feet together |
| Superior | toward head/upper part |
| Inferior | away from head/lower part |
| Anterior | toward front |
| Posterior | toward back |
| Medial | toward midline |
| Lateral | away from midline |
| Intermediate | between medial and lateral |
| Proximal | closer to body's axis |
| Distal | farther from body's axis |
| Superficial | toward surface |
| Deep | away from surface/more internal |
| Axial | head/neck/trunk |
| Appendicular | limbs/appendages |
| Sagittal | vertical cut; divides left and right |
| Midsagittal | median; exact midline |
| Parasagittal | off from midline |
| Frontal (Coronal) | vertical cut; divides anterior and posterior |
| Transverse | horizontal; divides superior and inferior |
| Oblique | diagonal cut |
| Dorsal Cavity | cranial and vertebral (spinal) |
| Cranial Cavity | brain/skull |
| Vertebral Cavity | vertebral column/spinal cord |
| Ventral Cavity | thoracic and abdominopelvic |
| Thoracic Cavity | pleural and pericardial |
| Pleural Cavity | 2 lung cavities |
| Pericardial Cavity | around heart with esophagus and trachea |
| Abdominopelvic Cavity | abdominal and pelvic |
| Abdominal Cavity | stomach/intestines/spleen/liver |
| Pelvic Cavity | bladder/rectum/reproductive organs |
| Visceral Organs | internal organs |
| Diaphragm | breathing muscle; seperates thoracic and abdominopelvic |
| Serosa | double layer membrane |
| Parietal layer | covers cavity wall |
| Visceral layer | covers organs |
| Serous fluid | lubrication between membranes |
| Parietal Pericardium | wall of pericardial cavity |
| Visceral Pericardium | covers heart |
| Parietal Pleura | walls of thoracic cavity |
| Visceral Pleura | covers lungs |
| Parietal Peritoneum | walls of abdominopelvic cavity |
| Visceral Peritoneum | covers organ in abdominopelvic cavity |
| Oral Cavity | mouth |
| Nasal Cavity | nose |
| Orbital Cavity | eyes |
| Synovial Joints Cavity | several joints |
| 9 Regions of Abdominopelvic | umbilical, epigastric, hypogastric, iliac or inguinal, lumbar, and hypochondriac |
| Umbilical | middle center |
| Epigastric | top center |
| Hypogastric | bottom center |
| Iliac or Inguinal | right and left bottom |
| Lumbar | right and left middle |
| Hypochondriac | right and left top |
| 4 Quadrants of Abdominopelvic | RUQ, RLQ, LUQ, LLQ |
