16
Q

Body cavity: abdominal pelvic

A

Stomach, large intestine, liver, urinary bladder, rectum

Stomach area

17
Q

Body cavity: cranial

A

Brain

18
Q

Body cavity: spinal

A

Spinal cord

19
Q

Body cavity: thoracic

A

Esophagus, heart, trachea

The chest area

20
Q

Five levels of organization

A

Atom=>molecule=> organel=>cell=>tissue=>organ=>organ system=>organism

21
Q

Tissues

A

Epithelial, connective, muscle, neural

22
Q

Tissues: epithelial

A 
A. Linens internal passages
-blood vessels, esophagus
B. Produces secretions 
-orders(smells), secretions
 C. Lubricates for passageways

Ex: skin

23
Q

Tissue: connective

A

A. Fills internal spaces
B. Provides support
C. Stores energy

Ex: ligaments, lipids, cardaliqe

24
Q

Tissue: muscle

A

A. Contract to produce movement

Ex: muscle

25
Q

Tissue: neural

A

A. Send electrical signs
-neurons
B. Carries information

26
Q

Negative feed back

A

Output ( of homeostatic system) shut off original stimulus ( too hot or too cold) or reduces its intensity
Ex: original stimulus = too cold and the system causes warming of body

27
Q

Positive feedback

A

Result of homeostatic system action is to enhance original stimulus so activity is accelerated
Ex: oxytocin ( hormones) intensifies labor contractions during birth of baby. Oxytocin causes contraction to be more frequent and powerful. Increase contraction increase oxytocin to be released, causing more contractions till birth

28
Q

6 main factors that are regulated

1-3 concentration

A
  1. Concentration of nutrients & oxygen
    - oxygen, protein
  2. Concentration of salts & electrolytes
    - body center level of ions; K+, Na+
    - energy drinks Ex: power aid
  3. Concentration of waste
    - can’t have to much CO2
29
Q

6 main factors that are regulated

4-6

A
  1. Acid/base balance
    - cellular level
    - to much acid bad
  2. Temp
    - average temp: 98.6• ferenheight
  3. Pressure & volume
    - not to high not to low
30
Q

Superior (cranial)

A

Toward rhe head end or upper part of a structure or the body; above

Ex: the head is superior to the abdomen

31
Q

Inferior ( caudal)

A

Away from the head end or toward the lower part of the body; below

Ex; the navel is inferior to the chin
