Q

Usually, the body’s regulating systems that bring internal environment back into balance for homeostasis are:

A

nervous system + endocrine system, working together or independently to provide corrective measures

34
Q

synovial fluid

A

ECF in joints

35
Q

Aqueous humor OR vitreous body

A

36
Q

receptor

A

body structure that monitors changes in controlled condition and sends input to a control center through an afferent pathway

37
Q

feedback system (feedback loop)

A

cycle of events in which the status of a body condition is monitored, evaluated, change, remonitored, reevaluated, etc.

38
Q

afferent pathway

A

pathway through which a receptor sends inputs to a control center

39
Q

input

A

to control center

usually in the form of nerve impulses or chemical signals

40
Q

control center

A

sets the narrow range or set point within which a controlled condition should be maintained, evaluates the input it receives from receptors, and generates output commands when they are needed

41
Q

output

A

from control center

usually through nerve impulses or hormones or other chemical signals

42
Q

efferent pathway

A

pathway through which a control center sends outputs to an effector

43
Q

response

A

effect that changes the controlled condition and produced by the effector

44
Q

effector

A

body structure that receives output from control center and produces a response or effect that changes the controlled condition

45
Q

negative feedback system

A

a feedback system which reverses a change in a controlled condition

will stop itself

46
Q

positive feedback system

A

feedback system which tends to strengthen or reinforce a change in one of the body’s controlled conditions

will continue until stopped by something - childbirth
can go on until kills
