_____ ____ work cooperatively to perform necessary life functions - ANS-organ systems
\___________is perpendicular to the long axis of the region and ___________ is from front to
back. - ANS-transverse, horizontal
\Abdominal - ANS-pertaining to the anterior body trunk region inferior to the ribs
\Abdominal Cavity - ANS-Contains stomach, intestines, spleen, and liver, and other organs
\Abdominopelvic Cavity - ANS-separated from thoracic cavity by the diaphragm, a dome shaped
muscle important in breathing. Has abdominal and pelvic cavities
\Abdominopelvic Quadrants - ANS-Divisions used primarily by medical personnel
\Abdominopelvic Regions - ANS-Nine divisions used primarily by anatomists
\Acromial - ANS-pertaining to the point of the shoulder
\Acromial - ANS-pertaining to the point of the shoulder
\all ____ depend on organ systems to meet their survival needs - ANS-cells
\Anatomical Position - ANS-erect, feet forward, arms at side with palms facing forward, head
facing forward, internationally know
\Antebrachial - ANS-pertaining to the forearm
\Antecubital - ANS-pertaining to the anterior surface of the elbow
\Anterior/Ventral Body - ANS-
\Appendicular - ANS-fundamental division of our body. relating to the limbs and their
attachments to the axis.
\Ausultation - ANS-Listening to organ sounds with a stethoscope
\Axial - ANS-fundamental division of our body. Makes up the main axis of our body, includes the
head, neck, and trunk.
\Axillary - ANS-pertaining to the armpit
\Brachial - ANS-pertaining to the arm
\Buccal - ANS-pertaining to the cheek
\Calcaneal - ANS-pertaining to the heel of the foot
\Cardiovascular system - ANS-Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon
dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc. The heart pumps blood. Made up of blood vessels and heart
\Carpal - ANS-Pertaining to the wrist
\Cephalic - ANS-pertaining to the head
\Cervical - ANS-pertaining to the neck region
\Coxal - ANS-pertaining to the hip
\Cranial Cavity - ANS-in the skull, encases the brain
\Crural - ANS-pertaining to the leg
\Deep (internal) - ANS-away from the body surface; more internal
\Digestive system - ANS-Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for
distribution to body cells. Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces Made up of oral cavity,
esophagus, liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum , and anus
, \Digital - ANS-pertaining to the fingers or toes
\Directional Terms - ANS-allow us to explain where one body structure is in relation to another
\Distal - ANS-farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the
body trunk
\Do RBC's reproduce? - ANS-No, they do not have a nucleus.
\Dorsal (posterior) - ANS-Toward or at the back of the body; behind
\Dorsal Body Cavity - ANS-protects the fragile nervous system organs, has 2 subdivisions
\Dorsum - ANS-pertaining to the back
\Endocrine system - ANS-Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth,
reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells. Mad up of pineal, pituitary, thyroid
and adrenal glands, thymus, pancreas, ovaries and testis
\Epigastric Region - ANS-LOcater superior to the umbilical region
\Femoral - ANS-pertaining to the thigh
\Fibular (peroneal) - ANS-pertaining to the side of the leg
\Four types of cells: - ANS-Epithelial cell, Muscle cell, Nerve cell, Connective tissue cell
\Frontal - ANS-pertaining to the forehead
\Frontal plane - ANS-vertically divide the body into ventral and dorsal parts
\Frontal Planes (Coronal Plane) - ANS-like sagittal plane lie vertically, divide body into anterior
and posterior parts
\Gluteal - ANS-pertaining to the buttocks or rump
\Hallux - ANS-pertaining to the great toe
\Homeostatic imbalance is the ...what does this cause? - ANS-disturbance of homeostasis
increases risk of disease, contributes to changes associated with aging, may allow destructive
positive feedback mechanisms to take over (heart failure)
\In a negative feedback system, the response of the effector - ANS-reverses the original
stimulus.
\In referring to the back of the legs, you could use the term _________ or __________. -
ANS-Posterior or Ventral
\in the body the serous membranes are separated by a thin layer of lubricating fluid called,,, -
ANS-serous fluid
\In the upper limbs, the _____ side is considered medial and the radial side is considered lateral
due to the palms facing forward in the anatomical position. - ANS-ulnar
\In what way does physiology depend of anatomy? - ANS-the operation or function of a
structure is dictated by its anatomy
\Inferior (caudal) - ANS-away from the head end or toward the lower part of a structure or the
body; below
\Inguinal - ANS-pertaining to the groin
\Integumentary system - ANS-Forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues
from injury - made up of hair, nails and skin
\Intermediate - ANS-between a more medial and a more lateral structure
\joe went to the emergency room where he complained of severe pains in the lower right
quadrant of this abdomen. what might be his problem - ANS-appendicitis
\Lateral - ANS-away from the midline of the body; on the outer side of
\Lumbar - ANS-pertaining to the area of the back between the ribs and hips; the loin
