31
dorsal body cavity
back body cavity
32
cranial cavity
the cavity within the skull that skull that houses the brain
33
spinal cravity
the cavity within the spinal (vertebral) column that houses the spinal cord
34
central body cavity
front body cavity
35
thoracic cavity
the cavity within the thoracic (chest) region
36
right and left pleural cavities
house the R & L lungs
37
mediastinum
space in the center of the thoracic cavity . | houses the heart as several other structures .
38
abdominopelvic cavity
the cavity within the abdominal region (abdomen)
39
pelvic cavity
the cavity within the pelvic region (pelvis)
40
superior
upper / above/ toward the head
41
inferior
lower/below/ toward the feet
42
anterior(ventral)
forth/in front of
43
posterior - dorsal
back/ in back of | -the stomach is anterior to the spinal cord -
44
medial
toward the midline of the body
45
lateral
away from the midline of the body (toward the side )
46
proximal
nearest the trunk of the body | nearest the point of origin of a body part
47
distal
farther away from the trunk of the body . | farther away from the point of origin of a body part .
48
superficial
nearer to the body's surface
49
deep
farther away from the body's surface
50
sagittal
a length wise cut that extends from front to back
51
midsagittal
a sagittal cut in the exact midline . | divides the body or brain into equal and symmetrical L&R portions
52
frontal (coronal)
a length wise cut that extends from side to side | divides the body or parts of the body into front and back portions
53
transverse (horizontal)
a crosswise cut | divides the body or parts of the body into upper and lower portions
54
homeostasis
changes occur but the body has the ability to counteract the changes and maintain balance ex: body blood(temperature) blood levels of glucose , electrolytes, and respiratory gases
55
homeostatic control mechanisms
devices that maintain and restore homeostasis
56
components : HCM(3)
sensor , control center , effector
57
sensor
monitors a specific variable detects any change that occurs with respect to that variable if a change occurs, sends a signal to the control center (second component)
58
control center
analyzes information concerning the change -compares actual (what has occurred with respect to the specific variable) to set point ( where the variable should be) if a significant change in the variable has occurred (means movement away from homeostasis , ) sends a signal to the effector ( third component)
59
effector
produced an action that counteracts the change ( attempts to restore homeostasis) sends a signal back to the sensor that communicates information about the action taken ( feedback) example : how a thermostat controls room temperature
60
negative feedback
produce an action that is opposite to the change that activates the mechanism (counteracts the change) -most numerous and important of the HCM's that operate in the body bc negative feedback HCM's maintain homeostasis
61
positive feedback
produce an action that is the same as the change that activates the the mechanism -don't maintain homeostasis, instead positive feedback HCM's function to bring a body function to completion (as quickly as possible )
62
examples of positive feed back ?
child birth breast feeding coagulation system immune response
63
parasagital:
vertical plane passing through the body or organ diving it into unequal sides .
