ventral cavity
Contains viscera. Anterior surface of torso; divided by diaphragm muscle into upper thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity.
abdominal pelvic cavity
Abdominopelvic cavity: Imaginary line that runs across hipbones divides the body into the abdominal and pelvic cavities.
o Abdominal cavity: Contains stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and intestines (small and large), ovaries (in female); the peritoneal cavity (peritoneum) surrounds the abdominal organs
o Pelvic cavity: Contains colon, rectum, urinary bladder, uterus (in females)
thoracic cavity
Thoracic cavity: The chest; contains trachea, bronchi, lungs, esophagus, heart and great blood vessels, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and nerves. Contains smaller cavities, too:
o Pleural cavities surround each lung
o Pericardial cavity contains the heart.
o Mediastinum- contains pericardial cavity and surrounds remaining thoracic organs

benefits of water
makes up 60% of body weight
• Intracellular fluid takes 2-4% of this water
• Daily water loss 1000cc- 100-200 feces and 900 skin
• Stabilizes internal body temperature
• Has high heat capacity because of hydrogen bonds
• Is coolant, 1ml perspiration removes 500 calories

ionizing radiation
destroys molecules; sources- UV, x-rays, nuclear decay
- Alpha and beta rays cannot penetrate skin, only harmful if inside body
- Gamma rays are emitted from uranium and plutonium and are penetrating and harmful

- Antioxidants neutralize them
- Produced by metabolic reactions, radiation and chemicals

Gastrulation
embryo morphs to form 3 germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
- Totipotent and pluripotent stem cells differentiate into the 3 germ layers
Ectoderm

mesoderm
somites- muscle, rib cartilage, vertebrae, dermis, notochord, blood and vessels, bone, CT
endoderm
epithelium of digestive and respiratory systems and digestive organs
Epithelial
- Layers of closely adhering cells
- Flat sheets, upper surface exposed to environment or internal cavity
- No blood vessels, connective tissue supplies nutrients and removes wastes through diffusion
- Rests on basement membrane- thin layer of collagen and adhesive proteins, anchors
Simple squamous
single row of flat cells, permits diffusion, secretes serous fluid, found in: bowel, alveoli in lungs, glomeruli in kidneys, endothelium, serosa
simple cubodial

Pseudostratified
single row, some don’t reach surface, secretes and propels respiratory mucus
Keratinized stratified squamous

growth hormone
stimulates bone growth by
- increasing the deposition of proteins by chondrocytic and osteogenic cells
- Increases chondrogenic and osteogenic cells reproductions through somatomedin C, IGF-1
- Conversion of chrondrocytes to osteogenic cells which deposit new bone at the epiphyseal cartilage between ephysis and body of long bone
interstitial cartilage growth
