movement further away from the central axis

movement towards the central axis

outer portion of adrenal gland

inner portion of adrenal glad. Secrets the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine

hormone released by the pituitary to stimulate release of adrenal cortex hormones

nerve cell bringing sensory information to the CNS

muscle preforming a movement

a mineral corticoid hormone

--aveolus- sac within the lung at which gas exchange occurs

one of three hormone types

partically moveable joint

reference position for description of the body

muscle opposing a movement

front

released by the pituitary that regulates water reabsorption by the kidney

one of three membranes surrounding the brain

smooth cartilage lining the bearing surface of bones

group of neurons controlling smooth muscle and glands

fat-emulsifying fluid released by the gall bladder; formed from bilirubin

cup of cells surrounding the glomerulus in the nephron

a region at the base of the skull vital for basic life processes

smaller tube within the lungs connecting bronchi and alveoli

gland supplying fluid for semen

thyroid hormone that lowers calcium levels in body fluids

carbohydrate-digesting enzymes

heart muscle

brain and spinal cord

highly folded outgrowth at the rear of the brain; involved in coordination

highly folded out layer of the brain

fluid within the brain and spinal cord

outermost layer of the brain; including the cerebral cortex

narrow opening between the vagina and the uterus

fluid mass of food within the gastrointestinal tract

cilium-cell extension on the bronchi responsible for movement for mucus

tube that collects urine at the end of the nephron

tissue with few cells and a large amount of extracellular material, often serving to connect other tissues

a glucocorticoid hormone

a glucocorticoid hormone

cavity enclosing the brain

jelly-like cell contents not including the nucleus

skin layer underlying outer epidermis

freely moving joint

farther away from the midline or site of attachment

twisted tubule through which fluid flows in the nephron

toward the back

one of the three membranes surrounding the brain

nerve cell carrying motor information away from the CNS

the outer most layer of skin

coiled tube in which sperm mature and are stored

hormone responsible for arousal and "fight or flight" response. aka- adrenaline

groups of cells arranged in a sheet, usually functioning as a barrier or exchange surface

tube at the rear of the throat down whic food travels to the stomach

hormones controlling the female reproductive cycle

extending a body part farther away from the midline

exchange of gases in the lungs

tube through which an egg reaches the uterus

interactive systems designed to maintain homeostasis

bringing a body part closer toward the body midline

hormone realeased by the pituitary that acts on ovaries and testes

a vertical plane dividing the body into front and back

ball of capillaries in the nephron that absorb fluid from the blood
