pericardial cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-Heart and major blood vessels.
Includes thymus & esophagus
pleural cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-Two layered serous membrane associated with lungs
peritoneum - CORRECT ANSWER-Two layered serous membrane lining the
abdominopelvic cavity
1. Parietal peritoneum: outer layer lining of abdominopelvic cavity
2. Visceral peritoneum: inner layer covering external surface of most abdominal and pelvic
organs
,Peritoneal cavity: potential space between parietal and visceral layers containing serous fluid
umbiblical region - CORRECT ANSWER-Middle region, named for the umbilicus (navel)
that lies in its center. contains small and large intestines
epigastric region - CORRECT ANSWER-most of the pancreas, contains duodenum, part of
the liver and part of the stomach
hypogastric region - CORRECT ANSWER-Pubic area, contains bladder, ureters, uterus and
ovaries(female), and sigmoid colon
right and left hypochondriac region - CORRECT ANSWER-Inferior to coastal cartilages.
Contains the diaphragm and parts of the kidney, liver, spleen and pancreas
right and left lumbar region - CORRECT ANSWER-contain portions of the small and large
intestines and kidneys
right and left iliac region - CORRECT ANSWER-contain portions of the small and large
intestine
receptor - CORRECT ANSWER-Detects changes in a variable (ex. change in body temp)
control center - CORRECT ANSWER-compares values to their normal range; deviations
cause the activation of an effector
effector - CORRECT ANSWER-Structure that brings about change to alter stimulus; most
body structures
,negative feedback - CORRECT ANSWER-Homeostatic control system that maintains
variable within normal range; result: opposite direction; controls most processes in body;
variable maintained with normal level (set point) fluctuates around set point example:
temperature regulation, blood sugar levels, blood pressure
positive feedback - CORRECT ANSWER-Moves stimulus in same direction; continues until
a climatic event occurs; occurs less frequently than negative feedback. Examples: childbirth;
shock.
abdominopelvic cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-division of the anterior (ventral) cavity that
houses the abdominal and pelvic viscera
anabolism - CORRECT ANSWER-assembly of more complex molecules from simpler
molecules
anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER-science that studies the form and composition of the
body's structures
anterior cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-larger body cavity located anterior to the posterior
(dorsal) body cavity; includes the serous membrane-lined pleural cavities for the lungs,
pericardial cavity for the heart, and peritoneal cavity for the abdominal and pelvic organs; also
referred to as ventral cavity
catabolism - CORRECT ANSWER-breaking down of more complex molecules into simpler
molecules
cell - CORRECT ANSWER-smallest independently functioning unit of all organisms; in
animals, a cell contains cytoplasm, composed of fluid and organelles
, computed tomography (CT) - CORRECT ANSWER-medical imaging technique in which a
computer-enhanced cross-sectional X-ray image is obtained
cranial cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-division of the posterior (dorsal) cavity that houses the
brain
development - CORRECT ANSWER-changes an organism goes through during its life
differentiation - CORRECT ANSWER-process by which unspecialized cells become
specialized in structure and function
dorsal cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-posterior body cavity that houses the brain and spinal
cord; also referred to the posterior body cavity
gross anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER-study of the larger structures of the body, typically
with the unaided eye; also referred to macroscopic anatomy
growth - CORRECT ANSWER-process of increasing in size
homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWER-steady state of body systems that living organisms
maintain
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - CORRECT ANSWER-medical imaging technique in
which a device generates a magnetic field to obtain detailed sectional images of the internal
structures of the body
