How do you describe a transverse body plane?
A transverse body plane, also known as a horizontal plane, divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) sections. It runs perpendicular to both the sagittal and frontal planes, allowing for cross-sectional views of the body. This plane is often used in medical imaging and anatomy to visualize structures in a horizontal cross-section.
What are body water loss from skin and lungs known as?
Body water loss from the skin is known as insensible perspiration, while body water loss from the lungs is known as respiratory water loss. Both processes contribute to overall fluid loss and help regulate body temperature.
Are the kidney inferior to the lung?
If you mean lower in the body then yes, otherwise its hard to determine inferior, they both are necessary, and both do their own vital sort of work to keep you alive.
What is the process that helps keep both the microorganism and the human body fluids in balance is known as?
Homeostasis is the process that helps keep both the microorganism and the human body fluids in balance, ensuring stability and optimal functioning within the body.
What is movement towards the midline known as?
Movement towards the midline of the body is known as adduction. This term is commonly used in anatomy and kinesiology to describe the action of bringing a limb or body part closer to the central axis of the body.

The paralysis of both legs and the lower part of the body is known as?
paraplegia
What is the term that means a paralysis of both legs and lower part of the body?
paraplegia
The paralysis of both legs and lower part of the body is known as?
Paraplegia is the paralysis of both legs and the lower part of the body, typically caused by spinal cord injury or disease. This condition results in loss of sensation and motor function below the waist. Physical therapy and assistive devices can help individuals with paraplegia maintain mobility and independence.
Is paralysis can be on both side?
Yes, paralysis can occur on both sides of the body, a condition known as bilateral paralysis. This can happen due to various medical conditions, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries affecting both sides of the nervous system. In contrast, paralysis that affects only one side of the body is called hemiplegia. The specific cause and extent of paralysis can vary widely depending on the underlying condition.
Waist down paralysis?
A person who has paralysis from the waist down is known as a paraplegic. This means both of their legs are paralyzed. A quadriplegic is paralyzed from the neck down and has lost the use of both arms and both legs.
What is Diplegia?
Diplegia-- Paralysis affecting like parts on both sides the body, such as both arms or both legs
What type of paralysis is diplegia?
diplegia, affecting the same body region on both sides of the body (both arms, for example, or both sides of the face)
What is the difference between paralysis and paraplegic?
Paralysis is loss of function of the muscle and Paresis is just weakness of the muscles
Is Paraplegia paralysis of both lower limbs can be caused by an injury that occurs low in the spinal column?
Yes (also higher)
An individual accidentally transected the spinal cord between T1 and L2 This would result in?
Paraplegia - paralysis of both lower limbs
Does Dana Reeve have paralysis?
Yes, both Dana Reeve and Christopher Reeve have paralysis
Paralysis of both arms and both legs is?
It is called quadriplegia.
