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

Give an example of a decomposition reaction involving a catabolic action of the body
Breakdown of oxygen

Deep
Most superior body cavity
Head (cronial)
The ears are ____ to the nose

Define protection from harmful radiation
Need one layer to filter out harmful rays (UV)
What is a response triggered by

Your skull is ______ to the brain
Superficial
superior/inferior: the calf muscle is ____ to the ankle
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
deep
superficial/deep: blood vessels in muscle are ____to those in skin
deep
distal/proximal: the hand is ____ to the elbow
distal
proximal/distal: the fingers are ____ to the wrist
distal
what plane divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
frontal or coronal plane

inferior
superior/inferior: the hips are ____ to the shoulders
inferior
superior/inferior: the knees are ____ to the waist
inferior
towards the soles of the feet (Caudal)
inferior postion
ipsilateral/contralateral: the right arm and right leg are
ipsilateral
same side of the body
ipsilateral
close to the midline of the body
medial
medial/lateral: the big toes is on the ____ side of the foot
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/visceral: the ____ peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity
parietal
structures that form the wall of a body cavity
parietal
the science that deals with the functioning of the body
physiology
anterior/posterior: the hamstring is ____ to the quadriceps
posterior
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
