Seeley's Anatomy & Physiology Final
review
Sagittal plane - ✔️✔️runs vertically through the body, separating it into left and right
portions
Transverse/ horizontal plane - ✔️✔️runs parallel to the ground, divides the body into
superior and inferior portions
Frontal/ coronal plane - ✔️✔️runs vertically, divides the body into anterior and posterior
portions
Receptor - ✔️✔️monitors the values of variables
Control center - ✔️✔️establishes the set point
Effector - ✔️✔️changes the value of variables
Distal - ✔️✔️away from the reference point or further from the trunk
Proximal - ✔️✔️toward the reference point or closer to the trunk
Medial - ✔️✔️toward the middle or midline of the body
Lateral - ✔️✔️away from the middle or midline of the body
Superior - ✔️✔️toward the head
Inferior - ✔️✔️toward the feet
Ventral - ✔️✔️toward the belly
Dorsal - ✔️✔️toward the back
Organelle - ✔️✔️small structures that make up cells
Median plane - ✔️✔️a sagittal plane that pass through the midline of the body, dividing
it into equal left and right halves
Anatomical regions - ✔️✔️- head
, - neck
- trunk
- upper limbs
- lower limbs
Head - ✔️✔️- frontal
- orbital
- nasal
- oral
- otic (ear)
- buccal ( cheek)
- mental (chin)
Homeostasis - ✔️✔️the existence and maintenance of a relatively constant
environment within the body
Components of the negative feedback system - ✔️✔️- receptor
- control center
- effector
Neck - ✔️✔️cervical
Trunk - ✔️✔️- thoracic ( pectoral, sternal, mammary)
- abdominal
- umbilical
- pelvic
- inguinal
- pubic
Upper limbs - ✔️✔️- axiallry
- brachial
- elbow
- carpals
- palmer
- digitals
Lower limbs - ✔️✔️- coxal

- talus
- digitals
Anatomy - ✔️✔️investigating the body's structure, to cut up or cut open
