diaphragm Correct answer-a sheetlike structure largely composed of skeletal muscle and
connective tissue that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities
digital Correct answer-the finger
distal Correct answer-further from a point of attachment
dorsal/posterior Correct answer-pertaining to the back of the body, or back surface of a body part
femoral Correct answer-the thigh
frontal Correct answer-the forehead
,homeostasis Correct answer-a state of balance in which the body's internal environment remains
in the normal range
hydrostatic pressure Correct answer-pressure extended by fluids such ad blood pressure
hypogastric region Correct answer-the lower middle portion of the abdomen
inferior Correct answer-below another body part or towards the feet
integumentary system Correct answer-the skin and its accessory parts, protects deeper tissues
from injury - synthesizes vitamin D and houses pain receptors, as well as sweat and oil glands

lymphatic vessels, lymph fluid, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen. Picks up fluid leaked from the
blood vessels and returns it to the blood. Disposes of debris - houses the white blood cells
macromolecules Correct answer-a large molecule, such as protein or nucleic acid
medial Correct answer-toward or near the midline, in the center of
mediastinum Correct answer-tissues and organs of the thoracic cavity that form a septum between
the lungs

physiology Correct answer-the study of body functions
popliteal Correct answer-pertaining to the region behind the knee
posterior Correct answer-toward the back
proximal Correct answer-closer to the point of attachment
receptors Correct answer-specialized cells that provide information about the environment
sacral Correct answer-the posterior region between the hip bones
sagittal Correct answer-a plane or section that divides a structure into right and left portions

superior Correct answer-a body part that is above another part or is closer to the head
tissue Correct answer-a group or similar cells that performs a specialized function
transverse Correct answer-a plane that divides a structure into superior and inferior portions
respiratory system Correct answer-moves air in and out and exchanges gases between the blood
and the air. removes carbon dioxide. These gas exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of
the lungs
reproductive system Correct answer-produces whole new organisms like itself
endrocine system Correct answer-includes all the glands that secrete chemical messengers called
hormones (metabolism, nutrient use, etc)
urinary system Correct answer-consists of kidneys, uterus, urinary bladder, & the urethra.
Eliminates nitrogenous waste from the body. Regulates water, electrolytes, and acid based balance in
the blood.
Muscular System Correct answer-Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial
expression. Maintains posture and produces heat
nervous system Correct answer-consists of the brain, spinal chord, nerves, and sense organs -
communicate through nerve impulses. Control system of the body. It responds to internal and
external changes by activating appropraite muscles and glands
Digestive system Correct answer-Breaks down food to absorbable units that eneter the blood for
distribution to the cells. Indigestible food is eliminated by feces
