Nerve impulses
Nerve impulses
Input

RESPONSE
A decrease in heart rate
and the dilation (widening)
of blood vessels cause
blood pressure to
decrease
Return to
homeostasis when
the response brings

28. Contractions of the wall of
the uterus force the baby's
head or body into the cervix
Increasing
Stretching of cervix
Stretch-
sensitive
nerve
cells in
the cervix
Brain
Muscles
in the wall
of the
uterus
Baby’s body stretches
the cervix more
RECEPTORS
Nerve impulses
Brain interprets input
and releases oxytocin
Input
Output
CONTROL CENTER
EFFECTORS
Contract more
forcefully
RESPONSE
Increased stretching
of the cervix causes
the release of more
oxytocin, which
results in more
stretching of the
cervix
CONTROLLED CONDITION
Interruption of the cycle: The birth of
the baby decreases stretching of the
cervix, thus breaking the positive
feedback cycle

49. CAVITY COMMENTS
Cranial cavity
Vertebral canal
Thoracic cavity*
Pleural cavity
Pericardial cavity
Mediastinum
Abdominopelvic
cavity
Abdominal cavity
Pelvic cavity
Formed by cranial bones and contains brain.
Formed by vertebral column and contains spinal
cord and the beginnings of spinal nerves.
Chest cavity; contains pleural and pericardial
cavities and mediastinum.
A potential space between the layers of the pleura
that surrounds a lung.
A potential space between the layers of the
pericardium that surrounds the heart.
Central portion of thoracic cavity between the lungs;
extends from sternum to vertebral column and from
first rib to diaphragm; contains heart, thymus,
esophagus, trachea, and several large blood
vessels.
Subdivided into abdominal and pelvic cavities.
Contains stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small
intestine, and most of large intestine; the serous
membrane of the abdominal cavity is the
peritoneum.
Contains urinary bladder, portions of large intestine,
and internal organs of reproduction
* See Figure 1.10 for details of the thoracic cavity.
