Document Summary
Review portion - you should have come into this class already knowing these: Existence/maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body *** Explain how negative feedback works and give examples. Negative feedback: when a deviation occurs, brings body back to normal state. Ex > bp too high, control centre in brain detects, dilates bvs/lower heart rate, bp lowers back to normal. Define and use the terminology for body plans and planes in the lab. Superior/inferior (longitudinal), anterior/posterior (frontal), proximal/distal, medial/lateral (sagittal), superficial/deep. Define the body cavities (we will cover these again later). Define serous membrane and state where it"s found. Lining filled with serous fluid, lines organs of trunk cavities, visceral serosa and parietal membranes with a serous fluid in between, contains proteins and glucose. Briefly describe the main imaging processes used in medicine. X ray produces shadowy negatives of bone structure. Ultasound uses sound waves to bounce off structure in body.
