Q

SURVIVAL NEEDS

A

Nutrients(proteins, carbs, vitamins, minerals); Oxygen(20% of the air we breathe); Water(60-80% of body weight); Normal Body Temp(98.6F/37C); Appropriate Atmospheric Pressure(air too thin at high alt. for adequate gas exchange)

24
Q

HOMEOSTATIC CONTROL MECHANISMS

A

1) Receptor-monitors & responds to stimuli, sends info to… 2) Control Center-determines a set point & appropriate response; 3) Effector-provides means for response.

25
Q

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

A

Prevents sudden & severe changes within the body; the output shuts off or decreases the original effect of the stimulus; cause variable to change in opposite direction of initial change; EX: home heating/body temp regulation… and starvation.

26
Q

POSITIVE FEEDBACK

A

Output enhances original stimulus to accelerate or increase response. EX: Blood Clotting (Vit. K) and Labor Contractions.

27
Q

ANATOMICAL POSITION

A

Standing erect with feet slightly apart, facing forward, arms at sides with palms forward and thumbs pointing away from body.

28
Q

AXIAL PART

A

Main axis; head, neck, trunk.

29
Q

APPENDICULAR PART

A

appendages/limbs; arms, legs, etc attached to axis.

30
Q

BODY PLANES

A
  • Median/Midsagittal Plane
  • Frontal/Coronal Plane
  • Transverse/Horizontal Plane
31
Q

MEDIAN/MIDSAGITTAL PLANE

A

A vertical plane that divides the body into equal right and left parts.

32
Q

FRONTAL/CORONAL PLANE

A

A vertical plane that divides the body in anterior and posterior parts.

33
Q

TRANSVERSE/HORIZONTAL PLANE

A

A horizontal plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts.

34

A

see following cards & figure 1.9 in book (p.18)

47
Q

DORSAL BODY CAVITY

contains cranial cavity and vertebral/spinal cavity; encloses brain and spinal cord;
{cervical=7}{thoracic=12}{lumbar=5}{sacrum/coccyx}

48
Q

VENTRAL BODY CAVITY

A

contains thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities; houses internal organs, or viscera.

49
Q

THORACIC CAVITY

A

subdivided into: Pleural Cavity(lungs); Pericardial Cavity(heart); Mediastinum(stuff in middle)

50
Q

ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY

51
Q

ABDOMINAL CAVITY

A

contains stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, and other organs.

52
Q

PELVIC CAVITY

A

53
Q

STRUCTURES NOT IN CAVITIES

A

diaphragm, bone, skin, & skeletal muscles

54
Q

VENTRAL CAVITY MEMBRANES

A

Cavity walls are covered by thin, double-layered membrane called the SEROSA, or SEROUS MEMBRANE. Two layers, separated by serous fluid.

55
