Human anatomy physiology marieb 8th edition

D Microscopic anatomy: study of structures too small to be seen by the naked eye. Answer: A Explanation:. A popliteal B crural Answer: A Explanation:. A cranial cavity B spinal cord Answer: C Explanation:.

A vertical right and left B perpendicular to vertical and horizontal C horizontal right and left D diagonally between the vertical and horizontal Answer: D Explanation:. A Serous membranes are divided into parietal and visceral membranes with a potential space between the two. B Visceral pericardium covers the surface of the heart, and parietal pericardium lines the walls of the heart. C Serous membranes secrete a watery lubricating fluid. D Serosa are very thin, double-layered structures. Answer: B Explanation:.

A a relatively stable internal environment, within limits B a dynamic state within an unlimited range C the lowest possible energy usage D a static state with no deviation from preset points Answer: A Explanation:.

A covering individual lungs B covering the heart C lining the thoracic cavity D lining the abdominal cavity Answer: C Explanation:. A Organ systems operate independently of each other to maintain life. B The endocrine system is not a true structural organ system. C The immune system is closely associated with the lymphatic system. D Organ systems can be composed of cells or tissues, but not both.

Answer: C Explanation:. A regulating glucose levels in the blood B enhancement of labor contractions C body temperature regulation D blood calcium level regulation Answer: B Explanation:. A Positive feedback mechanisms are overwhelmed. B Negative feedback mechanisms are functioning normally.

C It is considered the cause of most diseases. D The internal environment is becoming more stable. A nutrients, water, growth, and reproduction B nutrients, water, atmospheric pressure, and oxygen C nutrients, water, movement, and reproduction D water, atmospheric pressure, growth, and movement Answer: B Explanation:. A gross, macroscopic, visual, and microscopic B regional, surface, visual, and microscopic C gross, regional, dissection, and surface D gross, regional, systemic, and surface Answer: D Explanation:.

A mediastinum, thoracic, and ventral C pleural, dorsal, and abdominal Answer: B Explanation:. A Negative feedback mechanisms work to prevent sudden severe changes within the body. B Positive feedback mechanisms always result in excessive damage to the host. C Blood glucose levels are regulated by positive feedback mechanisms. D Negative feedback mechanisms tend to increase the original stimulus. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

Answer: Anatomical terms are precise words that have limited usage, which prevents confusion when describing the location of body parts. Answer: calcaneal Explanation:. Answer: The walls of the abdominal cavity are formed only by trunk muscles and are not reinforced by bone. The pelvic organs receive a somewhat greater degree of protection from the bony pelvis. Explanation: 49 What is the function of the serous membranes?

Answer: They act to reduce friction and allow the organs to slide across cavity walls. We also revised and reconceptualized many of the process figures in the book to make them easier to follow and to learn from. Where appropriate we have added blue step text that serves as our author voice guiding students step-bystep through complex processes.

The blue text clearly separates the process steps from the labels, making the figures easy to navigate. Flipping through the Eighth Edition, you can see that our new art is dynamic, three-dimensional, and realistic, with dramatic views and perspectives that use vibrant, saturated colors.

Using our list of key concepts, we targeted critical figures in anatomy and worked closely with the artistic team on making these figures superior in rendering and in conveying the key pedagogical information and structures that students need to learn from the figure, striking a perfect balance between realism and teaching effectiveness.
