all the interacting ecosystems of microbes (bacteria, fungi, etc.)
that live on or in the human body; also called the human
microbiome or human microbial system Correct Answer
microbiome
a cut or plane that divides the body or any of its parts into two
equal halves Correct Answer midsagittal plane
relating to the nose Correct Answer nasal
homeostatic control system in which information feeding back to
the control center causes the level of a variable to be changed in
the direction opposite to that of the initial stimulus; see also
feedback control loop Correct Answer negative feedback
imagined flat plane that runs diagonally to an axis of the body or
one of its parts, producing a slanted, oblique section or cut
Correct Answer oblique plane
relating to the back of the skull, as in occipital bone or occipital
region Correct Answer occipital
relating to the elbow Correct Answer olecranal
relating to the eye Correct Answer ophthalmic
relating to the mouth Correct Answer oral
relating to the eye region or orbit (socket) of the eye; region of an
atom inhabited by electrons Correct Answer orbital
,group of several tissue types that performs a special function
Correct Answer organ
an individual, living thing Correct Answer organism
referring to the palm of the hand Correct Answer palmar
foot Correct Answer pedal
relating to the pelvis (basin formed by coxal bones) Correct
Answer pelvic
portion of the ventral cavity formed by the basin of the pelvic (hip)
girdle; the inferior portion of the abdominopelvic cavity Correct
Answer pelvic cavity

the study of body function Correct Answer physiology
flat surface or imagined flat surface Correct Answer plane
relating to the sole of the foot Correct Answer plantar
a lateral subdivision of the thorax where a lung resides Correct
Answer pleural cavity
behind the knee Correct Answer popliteal
homeostatic control system in which information feeding back to
the control center causes the level of a variable to be pushed
further in the direction of the original deviation, causing an
amplification of the original stimulus; ordinarily this mechanism is
, used by the body to amplify a process and quickly finish it, as in
labor contractions and blood clotting; see feedback control loop

term used to describe the body lying in a horizontal position facing
downward Correct Answer prone
next or nearest; located nearest the center of the body or the
point of attachment of a structure Correct Answer proximal
a longitudinal section or flat cut extending from front to back,
dividing a body or body part into right and left subdivisions Correct
Answer sagittal plane
any logical and systematic approach to discovering principles of
nature, often involving testing of tentative explanations called
hypotheses Correct Answer scientific method
process of making a cut; a cutting; a segment of a larger structure
Correct Answer section
in a feedback loop, the mechanism that detects changes in the
physiological variable being monitored and regulated Correct
Answer sensor
the space inside the spinal column through which the spinal cord
passes Correct Answer spinal cavity
near the body surface Correct Answer superficial
higher; opposite of inferior Correct Answer superior
