Across
  1. 5. the part of a negative feedback mechanism that takes action to negate the change
  2. 9. Medical students continued to study his writings until the 1800s.
  3. 11. the study of the functions of the body
  4. 13. the sinus above each eye
  5. 16. A doctor would cut open a vein and drain some of their blood into a receptacle.
  6. 17. the study of the structure of the body
  7. 20. The Father of Modern Human Anatomy
  8. 21. a word describing organs that are below the peritoneal membrane
  9. 25. separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity
  10. 26. Standing with the hands at the sides, palms facing forward, and feet apart.
  11. 27. the membrane surrounding the abdominal organs; it has two parts: the visceral part and the parietal part.
  12. 28. the maintenance of a stable internal environment when factors in the internal or external environments change
  13. 29. He was the first to accurately describe the blood circulation throughout the body and the properties of blood being pumped by the heart. He also wrote De Motu Cordis (On the Motion of the Heart and Blood).
Down
  1. 1. a word describing organs that are inside the peritoneal cavity
  2. 2. He made around 750 anatomical drawings and dissected around 30 humans until ordered to stop by Pope Leo X.
  3. 3. the sinus in front of each ear
  4. 4. The "empty" space between the two pleural cavities that gives room for the lungs to expand
  5. 6. the membrane surrounding the heart; it has two parts: the visceral part and the parietal part.
  6. 7. Also known as the peritoneal cavity
  7. 8. the part of a negative feedback mechanism that determines what action needs to be taken to correct the change
  8. 10. He discovered an Egyptian manual for military surgery.
  9. 12. the physical and chemical processes that obtain, release, and use energy in the body; all of the chemical reactions in a cell
  10. 14. a word describing organs that are behind the peritoneal membrane
  11. 15. the membrane surrounding each lung; it has two parts: the visceral part and the parietal part.
  12. 18. the practice of boring holes in the skull as a means of curing illnesses
  13. 19. The most common way that homeostasis is maintained in the body; the response of the effector negates the stimulus. An example is the regulation of over-all body temperature.
  14. 22. This is not a way to maintain homeostasis and is rare in nature because it is a “runaway train.” The response of the effector output reinforces or exaggerates the stimulus (e.g. blood clotting, ovulation, action potential).
  15. 23. Consists of the vertebral canal and cranial cavity.
  16. 24. the part of a negative feedback mechanism that detects a change in the cell or body
