divides the body into right & left sections

25
Mid Sagittal
divides the body into two equal halves
26
Frontal (Coronal) Plane
Divides a structure into anterior & Posterior Portions
27
Transverse Plane
Horizontal plane that divides a structure into upper & Lower parts
28

Cranial & Spinal cavity's
29
Cranial Cavity
Space inside the skull that contains the brain
30
Spinal Cavity
The space inside the Spinal column
31

37
Feedback Loop
Body's general control system
38
Negative Feedback
Opposes change in controlled condition
39
Positive Feedback

40
What is the Feedback Control?
Nerve endings that feed information to a control center in the brain that compares actual temp to the normal temp
