Which term describes the relationship of the stomach to the spinal cord?
nervous system
controls body movement and conducts impulses for internal communication
muscular system
produces body movement and heat
integumentary system
provides protection, regulates body temperature, and prevents water loss
calcaneal
The anatomical term for heel is ______.
lumbar
The anatomical term for lower back is ______.
popliteal
The anatomical term for the area posterior to the knee is _____.
sacral
The anatomical term for the posterior region between the hip bones is ______.

The body's ability to maintain an average temperature of about 37°C regardless of the outside temperature is called __________.
homeostasis
What is the body's ability to maintain a consistent internal environment called?
cranial cavity
The brain is in the ______.
positive feedback
When a stimulus is reinforced to continue in the same direction until a climactic event occurs, it is best as described as ______.
umbilicus, navel
The central point that is used when the abdomen is divided into four quadrants is the ________.
anatomy; physiology
____________ is the scientific discipline that studies the relationships among parts of the body as well as the structure of individual organs, whereas ___________ is the discipline in which the function of body structures is the focus.
sensory neurons
A receptor typically consists of ______.
plantar
Calcaneal is to heel as _____ is to sole of the foot.
growth; development
An increase in body size is ______ and an increased specialization as related to form and function is ______.
front
Anterior means toward the ______ surface.
atoms
At the chemical level, ______ are the smallest units of matter.
opposite
In a negative feedback process, the resulting action will always be in the ______ direction of the stimulus.
function
Physiologists examine the ______ of various organ systems.
false
True or false: Because the end result of a positive feedback mechanism is to increase the activity, positive feedback mechanisms are much more common than negative feedback mechanisms.
true
True or false: Sometimes a homeostatic imbalance occurs when a variable normally controlled by negative feedback is instead controlled by positive feedback.
- Negative feedback typically keeps these processes in check. - These processes are dynamic. - The control center is generally the nervous system or endocrine system. - When homeostasis fails disease or even death occurs.
Which of the following statements correctly apply to homeostasis as a physiologic process?
skeletal system
provides support and protection, site of hemopoiesis
