superior postion

Define water

- body is about 60% - most chemical activists essential for life take place in a water (aqueous) environment - gas exchange in the lungs

Define oxygen

- makes up 21 of air; 78% is nitrogen -cells require a continuous supply of O2 oxidizes fuel molecules and obtain energy

If you had an itch in the posterior caudal region what would you most likely scratch

Most superior body cavity

Head (cronial)

The ears are ____ to the nose

Superior

T/F growth may be triggered by an increase the size of an existing cell

T

Define food

What we consume is broken down chemically into substances to be used by cells - carbon is broken down to glucose

Given an example of a synthesis reaction involving a anabolic action of the body

When you are cold you shiver

If you had a too on the distal portion of your forearm what joint would it be closest to

Wrist

what metabolism is the building phase; ex synthesis of muscle through production of proteins

anabolism

for all tearms the body is standing erect, eyes looking forward, arms at the sides of body, palms and toes directed forward

anatomical direction

anterior/ posterior: the stomach is ____ to the backbone

anterior

what metabolism is the breaking down phase; ex dehydration

catabolism

ipsilateral/contralateral: the right arm and left leg are

contralateral

located ont he opposite side of the body

contralateral

moving from the body surface

medial

medial/lateral: the navel is ____ to the hip bone

medial

medial/lateral: the neck is ____ to the arms

medial

what are the characteristics for life?

movement- inside and outside body; transport food to all body parts; eliminates waste metabolism and homeostasis- catabolism; anabolism responsiveness- livin things respond to stimuli; change in homeostasis occurs the body signals a response; ex- hungry you eat, cold you shiver growth/development- getting larger, development is performing a specific funtion reproduction- perpetuate the species adaptation- distinctive features which enable all organisms to survive in the environment; thumbs- humans to grasp; legs- humans to walk upright

parietal

structures that form the wall of a body cavity

parietal

the science that deals with the functioning of the body

physiology

closer to the body midline (point of attachment)

proximal

proximal/distal: the wrist is ____ to the fingers

proximal

what plane divides body into left and right parts

sagittal plane

what plane divides the body into superior and inferior halves

transverse plane

parietal/visceral: the ____ peritoneum forms the outer layer of the intestinal wall

visceral

pertaining to an internal organ

visceral

what are the requirements for life?

water food O2 suitable Pressure suitable temperature protection from radiation

when is pressure harmful?

when it is increased or decreased ex of increased pressure: going down into sea depths also dangerous emerging from sea depths ex of decrease pressure: above 23,000 feet pilots wear O2 masks astronauts wear pressurized suits because of no pressure
