response to change internal environment
what is metabolism
chem reaction which turns food into energy
Negative feedback
maintains body temp( deacrease in function in response to a stimulus): stabilizes the system
EX] sweating
Positive feedback
controlled variable stimulates its own growth (result of a reaction is amplified)
EX] ovulation; uterine contractions

toward the back
medial
midline dividing body into L &R
lateral
toward the side

deep
near the surface
internal parts
sagittal
L&R proportions
frontal
divides into anterior and posterior
transverse
seperates into superior & inferior
How does CT scan work?
- X-ray rotates around body
- x-ray beam passes thru body and the body absorbs the rays differently and computer measures from detector
