Negative vs Positive feedback
Positive responses enhance original stimulus
Negative responses reverses the original stimulus

5 Steps of Scientific Method
1.Define Question
2.Make predictions
3.Gather data
4.Analyze data
5.Draw Conclusions
Gross vs Microscopic anatomy
Gross anatomy can be easily seen by the naked eye while microscopic anatomy requires the need of a microscope
How are form and function interrelated
Function follows form
Structure determines function and if the structure is altered the function is altered
