Front 1

anatomy is

Back 1

study of structures

Front 2

physiology

Back 2

functions of the structures

Front 3

gross anatomy

Back 3

study of body parts that are visible to the naked eye

Front 4

microscopic anatomy is the study of

Back 4

cells, cytology, tissues and histology

Front 5

levels of structural organization is

Back 5

atoms, molecules, organelle levels, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organism level

Front 6

cells are the

Back 6

foundation and basic building blocks of our bodies, they are the smallest structural units that possess and exhibit the basic characteristics of living matter.

Front 7

ventral cavaties contain the

Back 7

thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity

Front 8

thoracic cavity include the

Back 8

right and left pleural cavity and the middle portion called the mediastinum

Front 9

organs found in the mediastinum are

Back 9

heart, trachea, esophagus, thymus,

Front 10

abdominopelvic cavity is divided into a

Back 10

upper abdominal cavity and lower pelvic cavity

Front 11

the abdominal cavity contains

Back 11

the liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, intestines , spleen, kidneys

Front 12

pelvic cavity contains the

Back 12

reproductive organs and part of the lg intestines

Front 13

the dorsal cavity includes the

Back 13

cranial and spinal

Front 14

the cranial cavity lies in the skull and houses the

Back 14

brain

Front 15

parietal cavity refers to the

Back 15

inside wall of a body cavity or the membrane that covers the wall

Front 16

visceral

Back 16

internal organs

Front 17

axial

Back 17

contains the head, neck , and trunk

Front 18

appendicular portion comprising the

Back 18

arms and legs

Front 19

sagittal plane

Back 19

divides the body into right and left halves

Front 20

coronal plane

Back 20

divides the body into anterior and posterior portions

Front 21

transverse

Back 21

divides the body into upper and lower parts

Front 22

homeostasis

Back 22

relative constant state, remaining the same

Front 23

negative feedback system

Back 23

they oppose a change - example body temp to high negative feedback brings it back down (shiver)

Front 24

positive feedback system

Back 24

they amplify or reinforce the change that is taking place in the body

Front 25

intracellular controls

Back 25

operate at the cell level through genes, enzymes and regulatory proteins

Front 26

intrinsic enzymes

Back 26

operate at the tissue and organ levels

Front 27

extrinsic controls

Back 27

involve the nervous and endocrine systems
