- sagittal/longitudinal
- coronal/frontal
- transverse/axial
Terms for above and below
- superior/cranial/rostral
- inferior/caudal
terms for closer to and further from
- proximal
- distal
terms for towards the center and towards the sides
- medial
- lateral
anatomically speaking, what specifically is the arm and leg?
The section of the upper limb between the shoulder and elbow, the section of the lower limb between the pelvis and knee
components of a feedback system
body condition is
- monitored (by receptors which detect stimuli)
- evaluated (by the control centre that receives the input and outputs a response)
- changed (by an effector that produces a response) if needed to maintain homeostasis
terms for inner surface and outer surface
visceral surface and parietal surface
Explain the homeostatic response to eating a sugary donut with respect to blood glucose
- eating the donut increases blood sugar
- detected by receptors in the pancreas
- receptors send message to control centre (also the pancreas)
- pancreas sends out a response as insulin
- insulin goes to effectors (adipocytes and liver cells)
- insulin binds to receptors and opens channels which allow glucose to enter, therefore decreasing blood sugar levels
Explain the steps in the blood clotting process
- broken blood vessel acts as the stimulus
- platelets detect exposed binding sites and bind
- platelets release TXA2 and ADP to attract more platelets
- positive feedback loop where platelets act as receptors, control center and effectors
Bodily cavities
Posterior aspect:
- cranial cavity
- vertebral canal
Ventral cavity consists of:
Thoracic cavity:
- mediastinum*
- pleural cavity
Abdominopelvic cavity:
- abdominal cavity
- pelvic cavity
When fluid gathers in the pericardium, which procedure is used to prevent ____?
aspiration is used to prevent cardiac tamponade
What is needed to terminate/control the blood clotting process?
PGI2
Sections of the mediastinum and what each section contains
- superior (esophagus, trachea)
- anterior (thymus gland)
- middle (pericardium)
- posterior (esophagus, aorta, superior vena cava)
terms for bending forwards and bending backwards
flexion and extension
