30. Characteristics of Life: DevelopmentReproduction
Evolution
Cellular composition Responsiveness and movement
31. Metabolism: all the chemical reactions that occur in the body
32. Anabolic: A process in which large molecules are built from small molecules
33. Catabolic: A process in which large molecules are broken down
34. Homeostasis: the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment inan ever-
changing outside world (dynamic equilibrium!)
35. Negative Feedback: body senses a change and activates mechanisms to re-verse it (body
temperature)
36. Positive Feedback: self-amplifying cycle, leads to greater change in the samedirection
(childbirth)
37. Scientific Method: observation -> causal question -> hypothesis -> experimen-tation ->
results -> conclusion
38. Elements of Good Hypothesis: testable, falsifiable, and specific, clearly statingthe expected
relationship between variables
39. Anatomical Position: erect, feet forward, arms at side with palms facing for-ward, head
facing forward
standard frame of reference for anatomical descriptions and dissection
40. Saggital Plane: divides the body into a right and left halves
41. Frontal (Coronal) Plane: divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
42. Transverse Plane: divides the body into superior and inferior parts
43. cephalic: head
44. cranial: back of head (brain)
45. frontal: forehead
