even world wide 

the space formed between the pelvic (hip) bones

contains primarily the reproductive

and excretory sytems 

a multilayered membrane

that protects and holds the organs

in place in the abdominal cavity 

a genetic disorder in which the body can't process part of a protein called phenylalanine (Phe)

(an essential digestive enzyme) 

also known as chest cavity

or thorax

protects heart and lungs 

a horizontal plane that divides the body

into superior (upper) and

inferior (lower) portions

can be at any level 

standing erect

divides the body into anterior and posterior portions

also known as the frontal plane 

any up and down line that is

perpendicular to the horizon 

in the skull and

within the spinal column 

within the skull

protects the brain 

within the spinal column

protects the spinal cord 

located in front of the body

is divided into three parts

contains many of the body organs

that maintain

homeostasis 

the muscle that separates

the thoracic and abdominal cavities

the "disease" wherein

an individual has an abonormal concern

about their health 

outer layer of the peritoneum

lines the abdominal wall 

inner layer of the peritoneum

surrounds the organs of the

abdominal cavity 

unspecialized

induced to become a specialized cell 

newly formed embryo

its external environment 

found in the nucleus

bearer of genes 

nucleus holds a complete set of 46 chromosomes

the study of how genes are transferred from

parents to their children and the role

of genes in health and disease 

an individual produced with genetic material

from only one parent

an exact duplicate 

occurs within the body but cannot be

passed on 

changes that occur within the genes of gametes

that are passed on from parents to children 

when a dominant gene is inherited

the child WILL have the that genetic

condition

from freckles to a medical disorder 

when a recessive gene for a genetic condition is passed from one parent and the other parent

passes a normal gene,

the offspring WILL NOT have the

genetic condition will carry the "trait" and can pass the gene to his/her offspring

when both parents carry a recessive genetic condition, it will be passed to the offspring

also known as hereditary disorders

are caused by a defective gene

trisomy 21

genetic syndrome characterized by

varying degrees of mental retardation

and physical abmormalities

Huntington's disease

Huntington's cohrea

transmitted by a dominant gene

(means it can be passed on from just one parent)

symptoms appear in midlife and cause irreversible

and progressive loss of muscle control

hereditary disease in which a

missing enzyme in the brain

causes progressive physical degeneration,
