2. Anatomic position is standing, facing forward, palms facing forward.
3. Midsagittal plane is an imaginary vertical line dividing the body into equal left and right halves.
4. Flexion is the bending of a joint.
5. Tidal volume is the amount of air moved in and out of the lungs in a single breath.
6. Hypoxic drive is a backup system to control respirations.
7. Epidermis is the outermost layer of skin.
8. Peristalsis is a wave - like contraction of smooth muscle.
9. Pathophysiology is a study of how normal physiology is affected by disease.
10. Ligament is fibrous tissue that connects bones to bones.
11. Symphysis is a joint that has grown together to form a stable connection, allowing only slight motion.
12. Diffusion is the movement from higher concentration to lower concentration.
13. Residual volume is air that remains in the lungs after exhalation.
14. Dead space does not participate in gas exchange.
15. Stroke volume is the volume of blood pumped with each contraction.
16. Talus is a lower extremity bone.
