Question 23

ability to maintain constant internal enviroment

Answer 23

Homeostasis

Question 24

built in control mechanisms

Answer 24

How does body maintain homeostasis?

Question 25

body communicates through receptors (stimuli) then directs it towards the control center (set point, goal) which in turn controls the effector (muscle/gland)

Answer 25

Control Mechanisms
