The basic type of homeostatic control system
Feedback; loop
Many similar cells that act together to perform a common function
Tissue
Homeostatic control mechanisms are categorized as either _____ or _________ feedback loops
Negative ; positive
Negative feedback loops tend to __________ conditions
Change / negate
Positive feedback loops tend to __________ conditions
Stimulatory
Antecubital
Front of elbow
Umbilical
Navel
Changes and functions that occur during the early years are called
Developmental process
Changes and functions that occur after young adulthood are called
Aging process
Antebrachial
Forearm
The body’s continuous ability to respond to changes the environment and to maintain relative continuity the internal environment
Homeostasis
The regions frequently used by health professionals to locate pain of tumors divides the abdomen into four basic areas
Planes
A lengthwise plane running from front to back that divides the body into right and left
Sagital planes
A study if the functions of living organisms a d their parts
Physiology
An organizations of varying numbers and kinds of organs arranged together to perform a complex function
System
The plane that divides superior from inferior
Transverse
