| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Categories of Anatomy | Gross Anatomy, Microscopic Anatomy, Functional Anatomy |
| Superior | Towards head |
| Inferior | Towards feet |
| Proximal | Towards core |
| Distal | Away from core |
| Medial | Towards the center line |
| Lateral | Away from the center line |
| Coronal plane | Divides the body into anterior and posterior parts |
| Transverse plane | Divides the body into superior and inferior parts |
| Midsagittal plane | Divides the body into equal right and left parts |
| Axial region | head, neck, and trunk |
| Appendicular region | upper and lower limbs |
| Body Cavities | Cranial cavity, Thoracic cavity, Abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity, spinal cavity |
| parietal peritoneum | Outer membrane |
| visceral peritoneum | inner membrane (around organs) |
| Thoracic cavity | mediastinum, pleura cavity, pericardial cavity |
| Integumentary system | Protect tissues, regulate body temperature, house sensory receptors |
| Skeletal system | provide support, provide attachments for muscles, produce blood cells, store inorganic salts |
| Muscular system | movement, maintain posture, produce body heat |
| Nervous system | receive and interpret sensory information, trigger, muscles and glands |
| Endocrine system | control metabolic activities |
| Cardiovascular system | shuttle blood through vessels and transport substances throughout the body |
| Lymphatic system | return interstitial fluid to blood, carry certain absorbed food molecules, defend the body against infection |
| Respiratory system | intake and output of air exchange gases between air and blood |
| Digestive system | digests food and chemicals, expels waste products |
| Urinary system | remove waste from blood, maintain water and electrolyte balance, store and transport urine |
| Male reproductive system | produce and maintain sperm cells, transfer sperm cells into female reproductive tract |
| Female reproductive system | produce and maintain eggs cells, receive sperm cells, support development of an embryo, function in the birth process |
| Homeostasis | The tendency of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment even though the external environment changes continuously |
| Components of a Physiological system | Stimulus-receptors-control center(set point)-effectors (muscles or glands)-Responce (change is corrected) |
| Control Pathway: Setpoints | Oscillation around the setpoint |
| Control Pathways: Feedback Loops | Initial stimulus-response-stimulus-response loop shuts off |
| Negative feedback: homeostatic | Prevents sudden, severe changes in the body, Counteracts bodily disruption, most common type of feedback loop |
| Positive feedback: not homeostatic | Increases (amplifies) the actions of the body, produces more instability in the body, positive feedback mechanisms are short-lived, controls only infrequent events that do not require continuous adjustments, cycle does not terminate by itself |
