| ANATOMY | THE STUDY OF BODY STRUCTURE |
| PHYSIOLOGY | THE STUDY OF BODY FUNCTION |
| CELLS | THE SMALLEST STRUCTURAL UNITS, ORGANIZED OF VARIOUS CHEMICALS |
| TISSUES | ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILIAR CELLS |
| ORGANS | ORGANIZATIONS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF TISSUES |
| SYSTEMS | ORGANIZATIONS OF MANY KINDS OF ORGANS |
| ANATOMICAL POSITION | STANDING ERECT WITH THE ARMS AT THE SIDES AND PALMS TURNED FORWARD |
| CATABOLISM | COMPLEX SUBSTANCES BROKEN DOWN INTO SIMPLER COMPOUNDS |
| SUPERIOR | TOWARD THE HEAD, UPPER, ABOVE |
| INFERIOR | TOWARD THE FEET, LOWER, BELOW |
| ANTERIOR | FRONT, IN FRONT OF, SAME AS VENTRAL IN HUMANS |
| POSTERIOR | BACK, IN BACK OF SAME AS DORSAL IN HUMANS |
| MEDIAL | TOWARD THE MIDLINE OF A STRUCTURE |
| LATERAL | AWAY FROM THE MIDLINE OR TOWARD THE SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE |
| PROXIMAL | TOWARD OR NEAREST THE TRUNK, OR NEAREST THE POINT OF ORIGIN OF A STRUCTURE |
| DISTAL | AWAY FROM OR FARTHEST FROM THE TRUNK, OR FARTHEST AWAY FROM A STRUCTURE'S POINT OF ORIGIN |
| SUPERFICIAL | NEARER THE BODY SURFACE |
| DEEP | FARTHER AWAY FROM THE BODY SURFACE |
| PLANES OR BODY SECTIONS | SAGITTAL, MIDSAGITTAL, FRONTAL, TRANSEVERSE |
| SAGITTAL PLANE | LENGTHWISE PLANE THAT DIVIDES A STRUCTURE INTO RIGHT AND LEFT SECTIONS |
| MIDSAGITTAL PLANE | SAGITTAL PLANE THAT DIVIDES THE BODY INTO TWO EQUAL HALVES |
| FRONTAL (CORONAL) PLANE | LENGTHWISE PLANE THAT DIVIDES A STRUCTURE INTO ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR SECTIONS |
| TRANSVERSE PLANE | HORIZONTAL PLANE THAT DIVIDES A STRUCTURE INTO UPPER AND LOWER SECTIONS |
| BODY CAVITIES | VENTRAL, ABDOMINOPELVIC |
| VENTRAL CAVITY CONTAINS | THE THORACIC CAVITY AND THE ABDOMINALOPELVIC CAVITY |
| THE DORSAL CAVITY CONTAINS | CRANIAL AND THE SPINAL CAVITY |
| THORACIC CAVITY CONTAINS | THE MEDIASTINUM AND THE PLEURAL CAVITIES |
| MEDIASTINUM | MIDPORTION OF THORACIC CAVITY, HEART AND TRACHEA ARE LOCATED IN THE MEDIASTINUM |
| PLEURAL CAVITIES | RIGHT LUNG LOCATED IN RIGHT PLEURAL CAVITY, LEFT LUNG IS IN LEFT PLEURAL CAVITY |
| ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY | ABDOMINAL CAVITY, PELVIC CAVITY, ABDOMINOPELVIC REGIONS |
| ABDOMINAL CAVITY | CONTAINS STOMACH, INTESTINES, LIVER, GALLBLADDER, PANCREAS, AND SPLEEN |
| PELVIC CAVITY CONTAINS | REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS, URINARY BLADDER, AND THE LOWEST PART OF INTESTINE |
| ABDOMINOPELVIC REGIONS | CONTAIN 9 REGIONS, AND 4 QUADRANTS |
| NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP | RETURNS THE BODY TO HOMEOSTASIS |
| POSTITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP | CONTINUES TO TAKE THE BODY FROM HOMEOSTASIS UNTIL THE STIMULUS IS REMOVED OR SOME OUTSIDE FORCE INTERRUPTS |
| METABOLISM | ALL THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN LIFE |
| BODY REGIONS | AXIAL REGION, AND TEH APPENDICULAR REGION |
| AXIAL REGION | CONTAINS HEAD, NECK AND TORSO OR TRUNK |
| APPENDICULAR REGION | CONTAINS UPPER AND LOWER EXTREMITIES |
| BALANCE OF BODY FUNCTIONS | SURVIVAL OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND OF THE GENES IS THE BODYS MOST IMPORTANT BUSINESS |
| SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON | THE MAINTENANCE OR RESTORATION OF HOMEOSTASIS |
| HOMEOSTASIS | RELATIVE CONSTANCY OF THE INTERAL ENVIRONMENT |
| THE BODY USES | NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOPS AND LESS OFTEN POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOPS TO MAINTAIN OR RESTORE HOMEOSTASIS |
| ALL ORGANS FUNCTION | TO MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS |
| INTRACELLULAR FLUID | FLUID CONTAINED WITHIN THE CELLS |
| THE "ENERGY CURRENCY" OF THE CELL | ATP |
| PRONE | LYING DOWN, FACING DOWN |
| ANABOLISM | THE BUILDING PHASE OF METABOLISM |
| EXTRACELLULAR FLUID | ALL BODY FLUIDS OUTSIDE THE CELL |
| SUPINE | LYING DOWN, FACING UP |
| THE STRUCTURE THAT DIVIDES THE THORACIC CAVITY FROM THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY IS THE | DIAPHRAGM |
| THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXAMPLE OF A POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP | CONTRACTIONS OF THE UTERUS DURING CHILDBIRTH |
