| ventral | toward the front |
| dorsal | toward the back |
| medial | toward the midline |
| lateral | away from the midline |
| internal | within, interior to |
| external | outside, exterior to |
| superficial | toward the surface |
| deep | within |
| central | the main part |
| peripheral | extending from the main part |
| proximal | closer to the origin |
| distal | further from the origin |
| parietal | pertaining to the wall cavity |
| visceral | pertaing to the organs in a cavity |
| transverse plane | divides into superior and inferior portions |
| sagital plane | divides body into unequal vertical portions |
| midsagital plane | divides body into equal vertical portions |
| coronal plane | divides body into anterior and posterior |
| synovial cavity | joints |
| pleurisy | inflammation of pulmonary cavity |
| peritonitis | inflammation of abdominal cavity |
| Dorsal Cavity (divisions) | Cranial (brain) Spinal (spinal cord) |
| Ventral Cavity (divisions) | Thoracic (lungs, cardiac) |
| Negaitve Feedback | returns body to homeostasis; insulin (lowers blood sugar when too high) & glucagon (raises blood sugar when too low) |
| Positive Feedback | no rise and fall of bodily function, Ex: loss of neurons in the brain, once lost, they dont come back |
| appropriate body temperature | when too high or too low, psych activities cease, b/c molecules are destroyed... |
| atmospheric pressure | essential for normal operation of the respiratory system and breathing |
| nutrients | carbs, proteins, fats, minerals |
| oxygen | needed for release of energy from foodstuffs |
| water | basis of all fluids, 60% of body weight |
| Physiology | chem principles, heart in action, Experimentation, |
| Anatomy | measuring organ size, and observations |
| Macroscopic (gross) anatomy | study of body structures visible to teh naked eye (ex: Cardiology *Systemic*) |
| Microscopic anatomy | microscope needed to observe (cytology) |
| types of tissues | epithelial, connective |
| Systemic anatomy | (specific areas) study of gross anatomy of heart, blood vessels, blood components / study of gross anatomy of the internal body structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface |
| Regional anatomy | study of areas of body |
| Maintenance of boundaries | keeps body's internal enviro separate from external |
| Reproduction | provides new cell growth |
| Responsiveness / irritability | the ability to react to stimuli |
| metabolism | any chemical reaction in the body |
