superficial
near the surface
deep
Away from the body surface; more internal
sagittal plane

para-sagittal plane
,divides the body into unequal left and right halves
frontal plane
Divides the body into front and back portions.

integumentary system
Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail
skeletal system
Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the
muscles use to support movement. Made up of bones and joints
Muscular System
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial
expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat.
nervous system
, the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve
impulses between parts of the body.
endocrine system
the body's "slow" chemical communication system; a set of glands
that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
cardiovascular system
Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon
dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc. The heart pumps blood.
lymphatic system
Composed of a network of vessels, ducts, nodes, and organs.
Provides defense against infection.
Respitory system
the organ system that brings oxygen to body cells and removes
waste gas
digestive system
body system the breaks down food and absorbs nutrients
urinary system
Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water,
electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood.
reproductive system
system of organs involved in producing offspring
Homeostasis
The tendency of organisms to maintain a stable internal
environment. A range of body mechanisms. Anytime we fall out of
the range (both above and below) a correction must be made or it
will result in disease.
negative feedback
a change is made to correct an imbalance and as soon as the
change is brought back into homeostasis, the corrective change is
stopped.
positive feedback
a change is made to correct an imbalance, and that change is
continued until eventually, negative feedback stops the correction.
What is the charge of a proton?
positive
