16
Q

Pressure

A

An application of force to something; atmospheric ___________, hydrostatic ____________.

17
Q

Homeostasis

A

The condition of a stable internal environment

18
Q

Receptors, a set point, and effectors.

A

Homeostatic mechanisms have 3 components:

19
Q

Receptors

A

Provide specific conditions (stimuli) in the internal environment.

20
Q

Set Point

A

Tells what a specific value should be, 98.6 degrees F.

21
Q

Effectors

A

Cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment.

22
Q

Negative feedback

A

The mechanism that contains homeostasis. If receptors measure deviations from the norm (set point) then effectors are activated that can return conditions toward normal.

23
Q

Labor pains and blood clots

A

What is an example of positive feedback?

24
Q

Axial portion

A

The head, neck, and trunk

25
Q

A

Includes the upper and lower limbs

26
Q

Cranial cavity

A

Is the cavity that contains the brain.

27
Q

A

Contains the spinal cord

28
