True or false: the smallest level of organization is the organelle

Positive feedback chain
Tends to amplify or reinforce the change that is occurring by creating a response that is synonymous to the initial disturbance. (Doesn’t help the body to be stable or maintain homeostasis)
Negative feedback loop
Loop that opposes or “negates” a change by creating a response that is opposite in direction to the initial disturbance
Feedback control loop
Self-regulating, highly complex and integrated communication system. (The 4 components are: sensor mechanism, integrator, effector mechanism, and feedback)
True or false: poplietal is a term that refers to the posterior region on the knee
True
Homeostasis
Standing or staying the same (may vary, but is relatively consistent)
- intracellular control - mechanism that operates at the mechanical level (inside)
- intrinsic control - mechanism that operates at the tissue and organ level (inside)
- extrinsic control - mechanism that operates at the organism level
