25
what is below hip and has reproductive organs and urinary bladder
pelvic cavity
26
structure that senses change in the body
receptor
27

study of tissues for signs disease process
28
vertebral cavity
spinal cord
29
what do the pleural cavity, mediastinum & cardiac cavity make up
thoracic cavity (chest cavity)
30
psychosomatic effects
effects of subject's state of mind on her or his physiology
31
sagittal
divide body into left/right halves, plane runs perpendicular floor
32
describe homeostasis in body temperature
- if too warm, vessels dilate in the skin and sweating begins (heat losing mechanism) - if too cold, vessels in the skin constrict and shivering begins (heat gaining mechanism)
33
divide body into left/right halves, plane runs perpendicular floor
sagittal
34
frontal section through torso
35
what are the 3 parts of the homeostatic mechanism
- receptor - integrating (control) center - effector
36
anterior view
37
4 body planes
- sagittal - transverse - coronal/frontal plane - oblique plane
38
control center that processes the sensory information, 'makes a decision', and directs the response
integrating (control) center
39
what do the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity make up
abdominopelvic cavity
40
cranial cavity contains brain
41
embryology
study of development from fertilized egg to 8th week in utero
42
what is comparative anatomy
study of multiple species to learn about form, function and evolution
43
ventral body cavity (thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities)
44
what are the 3 ways to study anatomy
- examining structure of the human body - cadaver dissection - comparative anatomy
45
cranial cavity
46
physiology of endocrine system
endocrinology
47
study of organs and body parts without the use of magnification
gross anatomy
48
cardiac cavity
heart
49
what are the 4 approaches to teaching anatomy and physiology
- gross anatomy - regional anatomy - systemic anatomy - medical imaging
50
distal
51
proximal
52
endocrinology
physiology of endocrine system
53
perpendicular floor / divides body into anterior / posterior halves (front and back)
coronal/frontal plane
54
describe anatomical variation
- no two humans are exactly alike - anatomy books show most common organization of structures - some individuals lack certain muscles - some individuals have an atypical number of vertebrae - some individuals have an atypical number of certain organs (ex. kidneys) - some individuals show situs inversus: left-right reversal of organ placement
55
where is pelvic cavity
below hip
56
distal
57
heart
cardiac cavity
58
superior
59
what is cadaver dissection
- cutting and separating human body tissue to reveal tissue relationships - we have APR
60
effects of subject's state of mind on her or his physiology
psychosomatic effects
61
describe physiological variation
- sex, age, diet, weight, physical activity - typical physiological values: - -----reference man: 22 years old, 154 lb, light physical activity, consumes 2800 kcal/day - -----reference woman: same as above man except 128 lb and 2000 kcal/day - failure to consider variation can lead to overmedication of elderly or medicating women on the basis of research done on men
62
how the body responds to exercise
exercise physiology
63
regional anatomy
study of all structures in a region
64
nervous system physiology
neurophysiology

anatomical position
70
