,ECF that fills narrow space between cells of tissues - CORRECT-
ANSWERSinterstitial fluid
what is the monitored variable called in a feedback loop - CORRECT-
ANSWERScontrolled condition
what is the stimulus - CORRECT-ANSWERSany disruption that changes a
controlled condition
what's the receptor - CORRECT-ANSWERSbody structure monitoring the
changes of a controlled condition and sends inputs
what is an afferent pathway-input - CORRECT-ANSWERSflows towards the
control center (nerve impulse or chemical signal)
what is the control center - CORRECT-ANSWERSsets the range of values
within which a controlled condition should be maintained; evaluates the
input it receives from receptors and generates output commands when they
are needed
efferent pathway - CORRECT-ANSWERSflow away from control center to
effector
effector - CORRECT-ANSWERSbody structure receiving output and brings
about change and produces a response that alters the controlled condition
,negative feedback system - CORRECT-ANSWERSreverses a change in a
controlled condition
positive feedback loop - CORRECT-ANSWERSstrengthens or reinforces a
change in the controlled condition until its interrupted-effector produces a
response that reinforces the initial change-child birth
disorder - CORRECT-ANSWERSabnormality of a structure or function
disease - CORRECT-ANSWERSillness characterized by a recognizable set of
signs and symptoms
symptom - CORRECT-ANSWERSsubjective changes not visible to the
observer
sign - CORRECT-ANSWERSobjective changes visible to the observer (doctor)

contralateral - CORRECT-ANSWERSdifferent sides
superficial - CORRECT-ANSWERStowards the surface of the skin
deep - CORRECT-ANSWERSaway from surface of the skin
sagittal plane - CORRECT-ANSWERSdivides the body into left and right
, Midsagittal (median) plane - CORRECT-ANSWERSdivides into equal left and
right sides
parasagittal plane - CORRECT-ANSWERSunequal sides left and right
fronta (coronal plane) - CORRECT-ANSWERSdivides front and back
(anterior/posterior)
transverse plane - CORRECT-ANSWERSsuperior and inferior top and bottom
(horizontal plane cross-sectional)
oblique plane - CORRECT-ANSWERSanything but 90 degrees
cranial cavity - CORRECT-ANSWERScontains head
Vertebral (spine) cavity - CORRECT-ANSWERScontains spinal cord and
vertebral column-continuous of the cranial cavity
Meninges - CORRECT-ANSWERSlayers of protective tissue surround the brain
and spinal cord
thoracic cavity - CORRECT-ANSWERSchest, ribs, sternum muscles of the
chest and a thoracic portion of the vertebral column
