Chapter 1 Human Anatomy and Physiology
Which cavity does the stomach belong in
Abdominopelvic
Which cavity does the uterus belong in
Abdominopelvic
A structure that is composed of two or more tissues would be
An organ
What system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues
Cardiovascular
Which cavity does the brain belong in
Cranial
What is not a functional characteristic of life
Decay
The fingers are blank to the wrist
Distal
Blank means toward or at the back of the body "behind"
Dorsal
What system controls the body with chemical molecules called hormones?
Endocrine
True or false: a major function of the serous membrane is to increase friction
False
True or false: the elbow is proximal to the shoulder
False
True or false: the serous membrane that lines the peritoneal cavity is called the visceral peritoneum
False
What system produces antibodies that neutralize foreign substances
Immune
What system protects underlying organs from mechanical damage and synthesis vitamins?
Integumentary
What system removes and filters excess fluid from tissues
Lymphatic
what type of imaging device would best localize a tumor in a person's brain?
MRI
The bridge of the nose is blank to the left eye
Medial
What system causes mechanical motion?
Muscular system
What feedback is blood glucose levels
Negative
What feedback is blood pressure
Negative
What system responds to environmental changes by transmitting electrical impulses?
Nervous system
What feedback is blood clotting
Positive
What feedback is delivering a baby
Positive
The upper arm is blank to the fore arm
Proximal
What system provides support levers for muscles to work on?
Skeletal
Which cavity do the lungs belong to
Thoracic
Which cavity does the heart belong in
Thoracic
True or false: A tissue consists of groups of similar cells that have a common function
True
True or false: imaging is useful in discovering obstructive blood supplies in organs and tissues
True
True or false: it is important for any organism to maintain boundaries, so that it's internal environment remains distinct from the extern all environment
True
True or false: lungs carry out excretory functions
True
The stomach is blank to the spine
Ventral
Simplest to most complex: molecule, atoms, tissues, cells, organs
atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs
what makes up the dorsal cavity?
cranial and spinal
What is the parietal pleura
membrane lining the lung cavity
blank is the serous membrane that covers the intestines
parietal peritoneum
lining the wall of the lungs
parietal pleura
the elbow is blank to the wrist
proximal
The heart is blank to the stomach
superior
blank consists of similar cells that have a common function
tissue
covers the heart
visceral pericardium
True or false: positive feedback mechanisms tend to increase original stimuli
True
True or false: the anatomical position means the body is standing at attention with palms facing forward and the thumbs pointing away from the body
True
True or false: without some sort of positive or negative feedback mechanism, it would be impossible to keep our body chemistry and balance
True
