Buccal - CORRECT ANSWER-Cheek
Oral - CORRECT ANSWER-Mouth
Cervical - CORRECT ANSWER-Neck
Brachial - CORRECT ANSWER-Arm
Carpal - CORRECT ANSWER-Wrist
Manual - CORRECT ANSWER-Hand
Digital - CORRECT ANSWER-Finger or toe
Crural - CORRECT ANSWER-Legs
,Coxal - CORRECT ANSWER-Hip
Femoral - CORRECT ANSWER-Upper leg
Pedal - CORRECT ANSWER-Feet
Thoracic - CORRECT ANSWER-Below the neck and above the abdomen
Abdominal - CORRECT ANSWER-Between the chest and the pelvis
Pelvic - CORRECT ANSWER-Around the pelvis
Inguinal - CORRECT ANSWER-Groin
Dorsal - CORRECT ANSWER-Back
Vertebral - CORRECT ANSWER-Along center line of back
Lumbar - CORRECT ANSWER-Lower back
Sacral - CORRECT ANSWER-Base of the spine
Dorsal region - CORRECT ANSWER-Region of the body along the back. 2 major cavities - the
cranial cavity and the vertebral canal (spinal cavity)
Cranial cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-Contains the brain and is enclosed by the skull
,Vertebral canal - CORRECT ANSWER-Contains the spinal cord and is enclosed by the bones that
compose the spinal column also known as the spinal cavity
Ventral cavities - CORRECT ANSWER-Located in the front of the body and contain most of the
internal organs. 3 major cavities - thoracic, abdominal and pelvic.
Thoracic cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-Contains the lungs and heart and is enclosed by the rib
cage. The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm
Abdominal cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-Contains most of the digestive organs - stomach, liver,
pancreas, intestines - and some of the urinary structures - the kidney and the ureters. The
upper boundary is the diaphragm and the lower boundary is the brim of the pelvis (landmark of
the pelvis bones)
Pelvic cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-Contains the bladder, anus and reproductive organs and is
enclosed by the pelvis
Abdominopelvic cavity - CORRECT ANSWER-Since there is no anatomical division between the 2
cavities they are occasionally referred to as 1 region
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWER-The dynamic physiological process that helps people maintain
an internal environment suitable for normal function
Feedback loop - CORRECT ANSWER-A system used to control the level of a variable in which
there is an identifiable receptor (sensor) control center (integrator or comparator) effectors, and
methods of communication
Variables - CORRECT ANSWER-Parameters that are monitored and controlled or affected by the
feedback system
, Receptors or sensors - CORRECT ANSWER-Detect changes in the variable
Control centers or integrators - CORRECT ANSWER-Compare the variable in relation to a set
point and signal the effectors to generate a response. These centers sometimes consider info
other than just the level of variable in decision making, such as time of day, age, external
conditions, etc.
Effectors - CORRECT ANSWER-Execute the necessary changes to adjust the variable
Methods of communication - CORRECT ANSWER-Components of the feedback loop that are
necessary in order for it to function. This often occurs through nerves or hormones. In some
cases the receptors and control centers are the same structures so there is no need for these
signaling modes in that part of the loop
Feedback cycle - CORRECT ANSWER-Any situation in which a variable is regulated and the level
of the variable impacts the direction in which the variable changes (i.e. increases or decreases)
even if there is not clearly identified loop components
Stimulus - CORRECT ANSWER-Change in the environment
Set point - CORRECT ANSWER-Ideal level of homeostasis
Positive feedback loop - CORRECT ANSWER-Change in a given direction causes additional
change in the same direction. An example is contractions during labor which amplify over time
until the birth.
Negative feedback loop - CORRECT ANSWER-Change in a given direction causes change in the
opposite direction. An example is the way our body helps maintain normal body temperature.
