Q

Positive feedback system

A
  1. Response enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus
  2. May exhibit a cascade or amplifying effect
  3. Usually controls infrequent events that do not require adjustment

16
Q

Ventral (anterior)

A

Toward or at the front of the body; in front of

17
Q

Dorsal (posterior)

A

Toward or at the back of the body; behind

18
Q

Medial

A

Toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of

19
Q

Lateral

A

Away from the midline of the body; on the outer side of

20
Q

Intermediate

A

Between a more medial and more lateral structure

21
Q

Proximal

A

Closer to the organ of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk

22
Q

Distal

A

Farther from the origin of a body part or the paint of attachment of a limb to the body trunk

23
Q

Superficial (external)

A

Toward or at the body surface

24
Q

Deep (internal)

A

Away from the body surface more internal

25
Sagital plane
Divides body into right and left parts
26
Midsagittal (median) plane
Lies on midline
27
Parasagittal plane
Not on midline
28
Frontal (coronal) plane
Divides body vertically into anterior and posterior parts
29
Transverse (horizontal) plane
Divides body horizontally (90° to vertical plane) into superior and inferior parts - produces a cross section
30
Dorsal body cavity
- Protects nervous system - two sub divisions cranial cavity (encases brain) Vertebral cavity (encases spinal cord)
31
Ventral body cavites
- Houses internal organs (viscera) - two subdivisions separated by diaphragm thoracic cavity ( heart and lungs) Abdominopelvic cavity (abdominal cavity-digestive viscera) Pelvic cavity( bladder, reproductive organs and rectum)
32
Thoracic cavity ( heart and lungs)
Two pleural cavaties - each surrounds a lung Mediastinum - contains pericardial cavity which encloses the heart - it also surrounds the thoracic organs( esophagus, trachea)
33
Abdominopelvic cavity
Abdominal cavity - contains stomach spleen and liver Pelvic cavity - contains bladder reproductive organs and rectum)
34
Membranes in ventral body cavity
The walls of the ventral body cavity and the organs it houses are covered by a thin double layered membrane called the serosa or serous membrane -Parietal serosa ( lines internal body cavities) -Visceral serosa ( covers internal organs)
35
Serous cavity
Serous membranes are separated by the serous cavity which is filled with serous fluid( secreted by both membranes)
36
Serous membranes named for specific cavity and organs for which they are associated
- pericardium (heart) - pleurae (lungs) - peritoneum (Abdominopelvic cavity)
37
Other body cavities
Exposed to environment • Oral (mouth) • Nasal cavity (nose) •Orbital ( houses the eyes) •Middle ear cavities Not exposed to enviroment •Synovial cavities (joint cavities)
38
Label the diagram with body cavaties

Identify the following planes
