2. skeletal
3. muscular
4. nervous
5. endocrine

Question 13

What is homeostasis?

Answer 13

The body’s internal balance

Question 14

what is the homeostatic mechanism? what are the three components?

Answer 14

it helps maintain homeostasis.

1. receptor
2. control center
3. effector

Question 15

What are the responses of the homeostatic mechanism?

Answer 15

1. enhancing the stimulus (positive feedback)
   - less common.
   - ex. labor contractions, blood clotting
2. reducing the stimulus (negative feedback)
   - most used mechanism
   - ex. body temp, blood glucose

Question 16

Explain negative feedback process with body temperature

Answer 16

Homeostasis is disturbed (body temp decreases). 1. Thermoreceptors in the skin are stimulated and signal sent to the brain. 2. hypothalamus (control center) receives the signal and sends signal to the effectors. 3. the muscles (effectors here) receive the signal and start to shiver. This brings up body temp. Homeostasis is then restored.

Question 17

Explain positive feedback process with blood clotting

Answer 17

1. a break or tear occurs in blood vessel wall. Positive feedback cycle is initiated.
2. platelets adhere to site and release chemical
3. released chemicals attract more platelets
4. feedback cycle ends when plug is formed

Question 18

What is all directional terminology based on?

Answer 18

Standard anatomical position

Question 19

what term is toward the head end or upper part of a structure or the body; above?

Answer 19

Superior (cranial)

Question 20

what term is away from the head en or toward the lower part of a structure or the body; below?

Answer 20

inferior (caudal)

Question 21

what term is toward or at the front of the body; in front of?

Answer 21

anterior (ventral)

Question 22

what term is toward or at the back of the body; behind?

Answer 22

posterior (dorsal)

Question 23

what is the term toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner side

Answer 23

medial

Question 24

what is the term away from the midline of the body; on the outer side of

Answer 24

lateral

Question 25

what is the term between a more medial and a more lateral structure?

Answer 25

intermediate

Question 26

What is the term closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the trunk?

Answer 26

proximal

Question 27

What is the term farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk?

Answer 27

Distal

Question 28

What is the term toward or at the body surface?

Answer 28

superficial (external)

Question 29

What is the term away from the body surface; more internal

Answer 29

deep (internal)

Question 30

What are the three most common body planes?

Answer 30

1. sagittal plane
2. frontal (coronal) plane
3. transverse (horizontal) plane

Question 31

what are body sections?

Answer 31

cuts / sections made along a body plane. Named after plane so a sagital cut results in a sagittal section

Question 32

What plane results in right and left halfs?

what planes results in front and back halfs?

Answer 33

the frontal (coronal) plane
