Match Body Systems to Brief Descriptors
• Integumentary
• Digestive
• Skeletal
• Reproductive
• Muscular
• Circulatory/Cardiovascular
• Nervous
• Respiratory
• Endocrine
• Excretory
• Urinary
Use directional terminology when comparing two body regions
• Superior (cranial) vs. Inferior (caudal)
• Anterior (Ventral) vs. Posterior (Dorsal)
• Proximal vs. Distal
• Medial vs. Lateral
• Superficial (external) vs. Deep (Internal)
Id Cuts/Planes/Sections on both models and in words descriptions
• Transverse, Horizontal, Cross Section
• Sagittal, Midsagittal, Medial, Longitudinal, Parasagittal (not in middle)
• Frontal, Coronal
• Oblique
Id Body Cavities via labeling along with organs and other subsections
in each body cavity
• Dorsal cavity protects the nervous system, and is divided into two subdivisions
– Cranial cavity is within the skull and encases the brain
– Vertebral cavity runs within the vertebral column and encases the spinal cord
• Ventral cavity houses the internal organs (viscera), and is divided into two subdivisions: - Thoracic and Abdominopelvic
cavities
– Thoracic cavity is subdivided into pleural cavities, the mediastinum, and the pericardial cavity
• Pleural cavities – each houses a lung
• Mediastinum – contains the pericardial cavity, and surrounds the remaining thoracic organs
• Pericardial cavity – encloses the heart
– The abdominopelvic cavity is separated from the superior thoracic cavity by the dome-shaped diaphragm
• Abdominal cavity – contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, and other organs
• Pelvic cavity – lies within the pelvis and contains the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum
Id and Use Body regions from common names along with labeling on body
• Axial Portion - head, neck, trunk
• Appendicular Portion - arms & legs
• Head
• Breast
• Foot
• Forehead
• Breastbone
• Ankle
• Ear
• Abdomen
• Toes
• Nose
• Naval
• Back of Head
• Eye Cavity
• Groin
• Spinal Column
• Mouth
• Hip
• Back
• Cheek
• Forearm
• Lower back
• Neck
• Wrist
• Buttocks
• Chin
• Fingers
• Between hips (back)
• Point of Shoulder
• Front of Knee
• Calf
• Chest
• Pelvis
• Back of knee
• Armpit
• Thigh
• Arm
• Leg
Homeostasis- positive feedback vs. negative feedback
• Id from paragraph/ story
• Id stimuli, receptor, central command, and effector from Paragraph or Story
