Because humans walk upright, the term dorsal can be used in place of the term posterior Prone position is used for lying face down The supine position lying on the back facing up A group of cells that act together to perform a function is called a(n) tissue When using directional terms to describe the body, it is assumed that the body is in what position? anatomical The opposite term for posterior in humans is anterior (ventral) The opposite term for superficial is deep The body section that divides the right ear from the left ear is a _____ section sagittal The body section that divides the nose from the back of the head is a _____ section. frontal A section that divides the body into mirror images is a _____ section. midsagittal two major body cavities are called dorsal and ventral The liver can be found in the Upper Right Quadrant/Epigastric region The word "leg" correctly describes the area from the knee to the ankle. The human body tries to maintain a constant body temperature. This is an example of homeostasis The part of a feedback loop that has the direct effect on the regulated condition is called effector The part of the feedback loop that detects a change in the regulated condition is called sensor The part of the feedback loop that compares the present condition within a body part or region to its homeostatic condition is called The control center When your body temperature drops below normal, your muscles begin to contract rapidly, making you shiver and generating heat. In this case your muscles are acting as the Sensor and control center Which of the following body functions is an example of a positive feedback loop?

Both A and B Supine Which term means toward the head? superior Which describes the anatomical relationship of the wrist to the elbow? a. The elbow is proximal to the wrist. b. The elbow is distal to the wrist. c. The elbow is superficial to the wrist. d. The elbow is lateral to the wrist. a. The elbow is proximal to the wrist. A coronal plane or section is another term for a _____ plane. frontal The muscular sheet called the diaphragm divides the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavities Which is not a part of the upper abdominopelvic region? a. Right hypochondriac region b. Epigastric region c. Hypogastric region d. All of the above are part of the upper abdominopelvic region. c. Hypogastric region The smallest "living" part of the body Cellular level A word used to denote a living thing organism Level that includes atoms and molecules chemical level Level made up of groups of tissues working together to perform a task Organ Level that is the most complex unit within the organism System Level that is made up of a group of cells working together to perform a task Tissue Level Nearer to the surface of the body superficial Toward the head or above superior Toward the midline of the body medial Away from the trunk or point of origin distal Toward the feet or below inferior Toward the back posterior Farther away from the surface of the body deep Toward the side lateral toward the front anterior Nearest to the trunk or point of origin proximal
