# Characteristics of Life formation of new cells or new organisms
reproduction
26
maintenance of a relative constant environment within the body.
homeostasis
27
* narrow range of conditions * changes in body conditions ex. temp, volume, chemical content
variables
28
__ mechanisms are mostly governed by nervous and endocrine system
homeostatic mechanisms
29
a change variable is a ___ because it initiates homeostatic mechanisms
stimulus
30
Most sytems of the body are regulated by ________
negative feedback mechanisms
31
* deviation from set point is made smaller or resisted. * reverses the change
negative feedback
32
activation of one component leads to inactivation of another
negative feedback
33
3 components of negative feedback
1. receptor 2. control center 3. effector
34
# 3 components of negative feedback * monitors the value of the variable * detects stimuli
receptor
35
# 3 components of negative feedback establishes the set point around which the variable is maintained.
control center
36
# 3 components of negative feedback can change the value of the variable
effector
37
* activation of one component leads to the activation of another * increases the change
Positive feedback
38
results in deviation from set point
positive feedback
39
# example:

example: you have a cut and it is bleeding, clotting occurs as platelets go to the site and release thrombine which then attracts more platelets.

positive feedback
40
governs homeostatic mechanisms
nervous and endocrine systems
41
a reference position that gives meaning to the directional terms used to describe the body parts and region.
anatomical position
42
# body movements lifting the foot so that the top of the foot moves toward the anterior leg is ?
dorsiflexion
43
# body movements movements that take place within the saggital plane ad involve anterior and posterios movements of the body or limbs.
flexion and extension
44
Unilateral vs Bilateral
one side of the body; both sides of the body
45
Ipsilateral vs contralateral
* Ipsilateral reactions are those for which the side of reaction and the side of stimulation are identical. * Contralateral reactions are the opposite; the side of stimulation and the side of reaction are not identical.
46
# body movements lifting the heel of the foot from the ground or pointing the toes downward
plantar flexion
47
# body movements turning of the foot to angle the bottom of the foot toward the midline
inversion
48
# body movements turn the bottom of the foot away from midline
eversion
49
# body movements palm to anterior facing
supination
50
# body movements palm to posterior side
pronation
51
# body movements thumb in contact with the tip of a finger.
opposition
52
# body movements returning the thumb to its anatomical position
reposition
53
# body movements anterior movements of the scapula or mandible
protraction
54
# body movements posterior movements of the scapula or mandible
retraction
55
# body movements downward movement of scapula or mandible
depression
56
# body movements upward movements of scapula or mandible
elevation
57
# body movements limb laterally away from midline
abduction
58
# body movements limb towards the midline
adduction
59
# body movements movement of a body region in a circular manner.
circumduction
60
# body movements anterior surface of the limb toward midline of the body
medial (internal) rotation
61
# body movemements: rotation rotation of the limb so that anterior surface moves away from midline
lateral (external) rotation
62
# body movements movements of the scapula and are defined by the direction of movement of the glenoid cavity
superior and inferior rotation
63
# subdivisions of the abdomen 4 quadrants:
1. right uppper 2. right lower 3. left upper 4. left lower
64
# subdivisions of the abdomen regions (9)
1. right, left hypochondriac region 2. right left lumbar region 3. right, left illiac region 4. epigastric region 5. umbilical region 6. hypogastric region
65
3 planes of the body
1. saggital plane 2. frontal (coronal) plane 3. transverse plane
66
runs vertically from the tom to botom, divides body into left and right portion
sagittal plane
67
sagittal plane runs directly down midline of the body
midsaggital plane or median plane
68
sagittal planes that are uneven (not down the midline)
parasagittal plane
69
* will literally leave you with a front(anterior) and back(posterior) portion
frontal (coronal) plane
70
divides the body into top (superior) and bottom (inferior) portion
transverse (horiziontal) plane
71
planes of section through an organ
1. longitudnal 2. transverse 3. oblique
72
a thin double layered membrane that covers the walls and organs of the ventral cavity
serous membranes (serosa)
73
2 layers of the serous membrane
1. parietal 2. visceral
74
lines the walls of the cavities (outside wall)
parietal
75
layer covering the internal organs
visceral
76
function of serous membranes
prevents friction of organs during movement
77
watery substance in serous membranes
serous fluid
78
pericardial cavity
contains the heart
79
membranes that covers the brain and spinal cord in dorsal body cavity
meninges
80
houses the lungs
pleural cavity
81
encloses the organs of the nervous system, brain and spinal chord
dorsal body cavity
82
dorsal body cavity 2 sections
1. cranial cavity 2. vertebral canal
83
* houses the viscera (internal organs) * houses the thoracic cavity andabdomino-pelvic cavity
ventral body cavity
84
houses the lungs and heart
thoracic cavity
85
# thoracic cavity contains lungs and surrounded by ribs
pleural cavity
86
# thoracic cavity houses esophagus, trachea, thymus
mediastinum
87
houses the organs of the abdomino-pelvic cavity
