An x-ray technician has been asked to make x-ray films of the liver. Which of the abdominopelvic regions must be included right hypochondraic, epigastric, and left hypochondriac
Two major cavities of the human body are: ventral/dorsal
When many similar cells specialize to perform a certain function, it is referred to as a tissue
The number of abdominal regions is 9
The abdominopelvic cavity contains all of the following except the: heart
Molecules are: atoms combined to form larger chemical aggregates
A frontal section divides the body into ____ portions front and back
The structure that is called the "powerhouse" of the cell is the mitochondria

The normal reading or range is called the set point
which level of control operates at the cell level, often using genes and enzymes to regulate cell function intracellular
Because negative feedback control systems oppose changes that are opposition direction to the initial disturbance, they are slowed or maintained in the homeostatic range
Processes for maintaining or restoring homeostasis are known as Homeostatic control mechanisms
Which of the following is basic component of every feedback control loop sensor mechanism, integrating center, effector, feedback
The relatively constant state maintained by the body is known as homeostasis
Many complex processes of the body are coordinated at many levels, these include Intracellular, intrinsic, extrinsic
To accomplish self-regulation, a highly complex and integrated communication control system or network is required. This type of network is called Feedback control loop
The body naturally changes some set points to different values at different times of the day. These daily cycles are called circadian cycles
Events that lead to an immune response to an infection of the formation of a blood clot are examples of positive feedback
The impact of effector activity on sensors may be positive or negative. Therefore, homeostatic control mechanisms are categorized as Organs that are directly influenced by physiological variables or mechanisms
Local control or _____, intrinsic mechanisms often make use of chemical signals autoregulation
Effectors can be described as organs that directly influence controlled physiological variables
Extrinsic control usually involves which mode or regulation nervous, endocrine
The concept that information may flow ahead to another process to trigger a change in the anticipation of an event that will follow is called feed-forward
Shivering to try and raise your body temperature back to normal would be an example of The body trying to maintain homeostasis, a negative feedback mechanism
