QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS
ALREADY GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW VISION)
What process allows us to adjust to either extreme heat or extreme cold? - ANS-Negative
feedback mechanisms allow us to adjust to conditions outside the normal temperature range
by causing heat to be lost from the body and retained or generated by the body.
When we begin to get dehydrated, we usually get thirsty, which causes us to drink fluids. Is
thirst part of a negative or a positive feedback control system? - ANS-thirst is part of a neg.
feedback control system because it prods us to drink which ends the thirst stimulus and
returns body fluid volume to the normal range
Why is the formation of platelet plug called positive feedback? What event ends it? - ANS-This is
a pos. feedback mechanism because it enhances the change set into motion by the stimulus.
The response ends when the platelet plug has plugged the hole in the blood vessel.
The two fundamental divisions of our body - ANS-Axial part - head, neck and trunk.
Appendicular part- appendages or limbs
Regional terms are used to ...... - ANS-designate specific areas within major body divisions
The most frequent planes - ANS-Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse
Sagittal plane - ANS-vertical plane- divides the body into right and left parts
Midsagittal plane - ANS-median for the sagittal plane
, Parasagittal plane - ANS-offset from the midline or midsagittal plane
Frontal plane - ANS-vertically divide the body into ventral and dorsal parts
transverse or horizontal plane - ANS-horizontal from right to lfet dividint eh body into superior
and inferior parts
What cavity is the brain in? - ANS-cranial cavity
what cavity contains the spinal cord - ANS-vertebral cavity
what cavity contains the heart and lungs - ANS-thoracic cavity
what is between the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity - ANS-diaphragm
what cavity contains the digestive viscera - ANS-Abdominal cavity
what cavity contains the urinary bladder, reproductive organs and rectum - ANS-pelvic cavity
what are the three parts of the thoracic cavity - ANS-superior mediastinum, pluerla cavity,
pericardial cavity within the mediastinum
what does the dorsal body cavity contain - ANS-cranial and vertebral cavity
what does the ventral body cavity contain - ANS-thoracic and abdominal pelvic cavities
