27. Sagittal Planes divide a body or organ vertically into right and left parts

28. Midsagittal plane If the left and right side are equal

29. Parasagittal If the left and right side are unequal
plane

30. Frontal planes divide the organ or body vertically into anterior and posterior parts

planes / cross-section)
Transverse

Anterior / Ventral thoracic cavity (lungs and heart) and the abdominopelvic cavity (digestive organs,
body cavity bladder, and reproductive organs)

35. Regional Terms identify specific areas of the body

36. Axial region main axis of the body - head, neck, and trunk

37. Appendicular re- appendages - arms and legs (shoulder girdle, arm, hand, pelvic girdle, leg, foot)
gioin

38. Homeostasis tendency of the body to seek and maintain an internal stability when dealing with
external changes; characteristic of all living things

39. Negative Feed- A sensing mechanism that detects change in conditions beyond specific limits.
back The control center (integrator) evaluates the change and activates an effector to
correct the condition. Conditions are constantly monitored by receptors. In neg-
ative feedback, the variant condition is canceled so that conditions are returned
to normal.

40. Negative Feed- a stimulus (deviation from a set point) is resisted through a physiological process
back Loop that returns the body to homeostasis.

Stimulus > Sensor > Control > Effector

i.e. Body temperature exceeds 37C > Nerve cells in skin and brain > Temperature
regulatory center in brain > Sweat glands throughout body

41. Positive Feed- the variant condition is intensified so that it is drive beyond normal limits
back

42. Examples of Posi- Blood clotting, childbirth, sexual orgasm
tive Feedback

43.
