A&P: Intro
low-dose radiography
mammography and bone densitometry are good examples of which of the following types of medical imaging
signs
objective changes in a patients normal body function that can be directly observed or measured by a clinician are referred to as
fluid in the lungs
percussion techniques can be used to detect
cranial cavity
the brain is located in the
interstitial fluid
the composition of this body fluid, which fills the narrow spaces between cells and tissues, directly affects the proper functioning of cells
reduce friction between neighboring organs

anterior
the sternum is ___ to the heart
superior
the stomach is ___tot he urinary bladder.
abdominal cavity
the stomach is located in the
nervous and endocrine systems
the two organ systems that regulate and maintain homeostasis are the
pelvic cavity
this cavity is located inferior to the abdominal cavity
superficial
this directional term is the opposite of deep
distal
this directional term means farther from the attachment of a limb to the trunk or farther from the origination of a structure
lateral
this directional term means farther from the midline
tissue
this is defined as a group cells that work together to perform a particular function
homeostasis
this is the condition of equilibrium in the body's internal environment
receptor
this is the structure of a feedback system that provides input to the output from the control center
effector
this is the structure of a feedback system that receives output to the control center
physiology
this is the study of body structures
metabolism
this is the sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body
frontal
this plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions
midsagittal
this plane divides the body into equal right and left halves
peritoneum
this serous membrane covers the viscera within the abdominal cavity, and lines the abdominal wall and the inferior surface of the diaphragm
palpation
using your fingers to find your pulse on your wrist is an example of
