Systemic Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS anatomy of the systems of the body. skeletal system,
reproductive system, ect.
Regional Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS anatomic study based on regions, parts, or divisions
of the body
Surface Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS study of the external features of the body
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWERS Maintaining a constant environment; staying the same
negative-feedback mechanism - CORRECT ANSWERS reduces the fluctuations in the output.
ex: thermostat that maintains temperature.
positive-feedback mechanism - CORRECT ANSWERS enhance the original stimulus. ex: blood
clotting. Once a vessel is damaged, platelets start to cling to the injured site and release chemicals that
attract more platelets. The platelets continue to pile up and release chemicals until a clot is formed.
anatomical position - CORRECT ANSWERS looking forward, palms facing forward.
caphalic - CORRECT ANSWERS towards the head.
caudal - CORRECT ANSWERS towards the tail
ventral - CORRECT ANSWERS towards the front or anterior.
dorsal - CORRECT ANSWERS relating to the back or posterior.
, posterior - CORRECT ANSWERS back (opposite of anterior)(same as dorsal)
medial - CORRECT ANSWERS towards the midline
lateral - CORRECT ANSWERS towards the side
proximal - CORRECT ANSWERS closest to the main trunk of the body
distal - CORRECT ANSWERS away from the main trunk of the body
superior - CORRECT ANSWERS above
deep - CORRECT ANSWERS away from the surface
supine - CORRECT ANSWERS lying on the back, face up
prone - CORRECT ANSWERS lying face down
transverse plane - CORRECT ANSWERS split horizontally at the belly button
sagittal plane - CORRECT ANSWERS split vertically at the nose
frontal (coronal) plane - CORRECT ANSWERS split vertically front and back
