Characteristics of Life
1. Organization: all parts of organism interact to 2. 3.
perform specific functions Metabolism: chemical & physical changes taking place in organism Responsiveness: adjustments that maintain internal environment Growth: increase in size of all/part of organism
through time
Homeostasis
Existence and maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment
set point: ideal normal value (body temp)
normal range: fluctuation around set point
Homeostasis
maintained by neg & pos feedback mechanisms
Negative feedback turns off the original stimulus
Positive feedback enhances and upregulates the initial stimulus (often harmful to the body)

Body Planes
Sagittal plane: divides body into left and right Transverse plane: divides body into superior and inferior Frontal (coronal) plane: divides body into anterior and posterior
Fig. 1.13
Organ Planes
Longitudinal section: along its long axis Cross (transverse) section: right angle to long axis Oblique section: across long axis at an angle other than a right angle

Body Cavities
Thoracic cavity: bounded by ribs and diaphragm Abdominal cavity: bounded by diaphragm and abdominal muscles Pelvic cavity: surrounded by pelvic bones
Fig. 1.15
Serous Membranes
Parietal membrane: lines wall of cavity Visceral membrane: is in contact with internal organs Serous fluid: secreted by serous membrane and protects organs against friction
Serous Membranes
Pericardial cavity: surrounds the heart
Serous Membranes
Peritoneal cavity: surrounds certain abdominal and pelvic organs
Mesenteries hold abdominal organs in place & provide a passageway for blood vessels, nerves to organs Retroperitoneal organs located behind parietal peritoneum
Kidneys, adrenals, pancreas, bladder, part of intestine
