What are the two components of metabolism? - ANSWER>>>catabolism and anabolism
Ventral Body Cavity - ANSWER>>>houses internal organs, has 2 subdivisions; thoracic cavity and
abdominopelvic cavity
Dorsal Body Cavity - ANSWER>>>protects the fragile nervous system organs, has 2 subdivisions; Cranial
cavity and vertebral cavity
thoracic cavity - ANSWER>>>cavity housing lungs and heart, mediastinum, pleural cavity, pericardial
cavity
abdominopelvic cavity - ANSWER>>>contains abdominal and pelvic cavities; digestive viscera, urinary
bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum.
What separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities? - ANSWER>>>diaphragm
cranial cavity - ANSWER>>>contains the brain
vertebral cavity - ANSWER>>>contains the spinal cord
Sagittal plane - ANSWER>>>a vertical plane that divides the body into right and left parts
frontal (coronal) plane - ANSWER>>>vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
(front and back)
transverse plane (horizontal plane) - ANSWER>>>divides the body into superior and inferior parts (top
and bottom)
, parasagittal plane - ANSWER>>>Divides body into unequal right and left sides
midsagittal plane - ANSWER>>>divides the body into equal right and left sides
integumentary system functions - ANSWER>>>protects against environmental hazards, helps regulate
body temperature, provides sensory information
integumentary system organs - ANSWER>>>skin, hair, and nails
skeletal system functions - ANSWER>>>Protects and supports muscles, blood cells are made inside bones
and they store minerals.
skeletal system organs - ANSWER>>>bones and joints
Muscular system function - ANSWER>>>Allows body movement, produces heat, and maintains posture.
nervous system functions - ANSWER>>>Responds to changes by activating muscles/glands.
nervous system organs - ANSWER>>>brain, spinal cord, nerves
endocrine system function - ANSWER>>>Glands secrete hormones that regulate growth, reproduction,
and metabolism.
endocrine system organs - ANSWER>>>Pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus, adrenal
gland, pancreas, ovary, testis.
cardiovascular system functions - ANSWER>>>Blood vessels transport blood (carries oxygen, carbon
dioxide, nutrients and waste). Blood pumps from the heart.
cardiovascular system organs - ANSWER>>>heart and blood vessels
lymphatic system functions - ANSWER>>>Picks up leaked fluid, disposes of debris in lymphatic passage
way, houses white blood cells. Attacks foreign objects in body and produces immune cells.
lymphatic system organs - ANSWER>>>red bone marrow, thymus, lymphatic vessels, thoracic duct,
spleen, lymph nodes
respiratory system function - ANSWER>>>The body system in which oxygen is brought into the body and
carbon dioxide is released
respiratory system organs - ANSWER>>>nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea and lungs
digestive system functions - ANSWER>>>Breaks down food small enough to supply cells, rids foodstuff
through feces.
digestive system organs - ANSWER>>>oral cavity, esophagus, liver, stomach, small/large intestine, rectum
and anus
urinary system functions - ANSWER>>>Eliminates nitrogenous waste through urine, regulates water,
electrolytes, and acid base balance of blood.
urinary system organs - ANSWER>>>kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
