Body Systems
Immune/Lymphoid: resistance to invasive microorganisms and removal of damaged or otherwise abdominal cells
urinary: a neutral acid base balance in the body fluids
lymphatic: a system of vessels assisting the veins in recovering the body's tissues and returning them to the heart
muscular: the skeletal muscles that move the skeleton
skeletal articular: consists the skeleton bones and their periosteum
cardiovascular: consists of the four chambered heart, arteries conducting blood to the tissues
endocrine: the glands that secrete chemical agents into the tissue fluids and the blood
integumentary: the skin, repiete with glands, sensory receptors, vessels, immune cells and antibodies and layers of cells
digestive: concerned with the breakdowns digestion and assimilation of food as well as excretion of the residua
female reproductive: production and transportation of germs receipts and transport of male germ cells
male reproductive: secretion of male sex hormones formation and maintenace of germs cells and transport of germ cell to the female genital tract
Directional Terms
posterior: ganglion located ear the spinal cord
superior: higher
lateral : of or towards
inferior: lower
anterior: front or ventral
distial: towards the end of structure
medial:of or the middle
proximal: next or nearest
Body Cavities
diaphragm: thin skeletal muscle that slits at the base of the chest and separates the abdomen from the chest
abdominal cavity: number of crucial organs including the lower part of the esophagus, the stomach, small intestine, colon, netcam, liver, gallbladder, pancreases, splee, kidneys and bladder
mediastinum: a membranous portion between two body cavities
pleural cavities: the space that lies between the pieura, the two thin membranes that line and surround the lungs
pelvic cavity: is bounded by the bones of the pelvis
cranial cavity: the space within the skull
spinal cavity: contains the velebrase through the spinal cord passes
thoracic cavity: chamber of the body velebrates that is protected by the thoracic
pleural cavity: thin fluid filled space between two pulmonary pieurae of each lung
abdominopelvic cavity: contains stomach liver, pancreases, spleen, kidney and small and large intestines
Levels of Organization
macromolecules: large biogically important molecules inside cells
atoms: the simplest level
two or more atoms comprise a molecule
feedback loops
negative feedback: oppose or negative a change in a controlled condition
positive feedback: stimulatory, temporarily amplify the changes
