examination of the exterior body that help visualize the interior of the body

toward the midline

when any deviation to a specific condition occurs, the response to the stimulus is to increase the deviation even more

monitors a condition (Example – body temperature) by detecting stimuli •Example – temperature receptors in the skin

belly

cut at a right angle to the length of the organ

toward the tail

in front

divides body into anterior & posterior portions

examination of cells

divides body into superior & inferior portions

above

examination of structures without the aid of a microscope

double-folded visceral peritoneum connecting these organs

study of the body’s structures •Example – shape of long bones

group of structures with common functions (e.g. cardiovascular)

toward the interior of the body

sagittal plane that divides the body into equal left & right halves

ability to use energy (via chemical reactions) to perform vital functions

formation of new cells or a new oganism

close to the surface of the body

cut through the length of the organ

lines the pericardial cavity

covers the heart

away from the midline

ability to sense changes in internal and external environments and adjust to those changes

covers the lungs

interrelationships among the parts of the organism and how those parts function

when lying face downward

receives information from the receptor about the change and sends a command to the effector •Example – the brain

study of the body’s function •Example – function as levers

returns the condition back to normal (within the narrow range) •Example – sweat glands

increase in size or number of cells producing overall enlargement of the organism

examination of tissues (cells & material surrounding them)

diagonal cut made across the length of the organ

structures organized by area

when lying face upward

lines the peritoneal cavity

back

toward the head

covers the organs contained in the peritoneal cavity

changes the organism undergoes through time (fertilization → death)

divides body into left & right portions

lines the pleural cavities

when any deviation to a specific condition occurs, the response to the stimulus is to resist and return to normal range
