Q

What is feedforward in homeostasis?

A

Anticipation of an event that will alter a controlled variable, leading to actions that minimize the effect.

Q

What is feedback in homeostasis?

A

Q

What is flexion?

A

Decreasing the angle between two body parts.

17
Q

What does the term “medial” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Closer to the midline of the body.

18
Q

Define terms used to describe spatial and positional relationships of structures.

A

Anterior/posterior, superior/inferior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal, superficial/deep.

19
Q

What is plantarflexion?

A

Pointing the toes towards the ground.

20
Q

What is inversion?

A

Turning the sole of the foot towards the midline.

21
Q

What are movements in the coronal plane?

A

Abduction and adduction.

22
Q

What is the sagittal plane?

A

The plane that divides the body into left and right sections.

23
Q

Define and demonstrate terms of movements as related to joints.

A

Flexion/extension (sagittal plane), abduction/adduction (coronal plane), circumduction, rotation, pronation, and supination.

24
Q

Why is knowing terminology important in anatomy?

A

It allows effective communication and avoids vague descriptions or directions.

25
Q

What body parts are included in the upper limb?

A

Arm, forearm, and hand.

26
Q

What does the term “superficial” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Closer to the surface of the skin.

27
Q

What does the term “proximal” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Closer to the point of attachment or origin.

28
Q

What responses are coordinated by the Heat-Loss centre when body temperature rises?

A

Behavioral changes, vasodilation, shunting of blood to the skin, sweat production, and respiratory heat loss.

29
Q

What is the transverse plane?

A

The plane that divides the body into top and bottom sections.

30
Q

What does the term “lateral” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Farther from the midline of the body.

31
Q

What does the term “anterior” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Towards the front of the body.

32
Q

What does the term “posterior” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Towards the back of the body.

33
Q

What is circumduction?

A

A combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.

34
Q

What is adduction?

A

Moving a limb towards the midline of the body.

35
Q

What are movements in the sagittal plane?

A

Flexion and extension.

36
Q

What body parts are included in the lower limb?

A

Thigh, leg, and foot.

37
Q

What does the term “inferior” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Below or towards the feet.

38
Q

What is eversion?

A

Turning the sole of the foot away from the midline.

39
Q

What does the term “distal” mean in anatomical terminology?

A

Farther from the point of attachment or origin.
