Negative feedback
a type of regulation in biological systems in which the end product of a process in turn reduces the stimulus of that same process.
describe the importance of negative feedback mechanism
in the maintenance of body internal environment stable (homeostasis)
Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them. For example, if your body temperature is too high, a negative feedback loop will act to bring it back down towards the set point, or target value, of 98.6 ∘ F 98.6\,^\circ\text F 98.
describe hyper/hypothyrodism with negative feedback
Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, happens due to inadequate thyroid hormone production. In primary hyperthyroidism, the thyroid produces large amounts of T3 and T4, which, through negative feedback inhibition, suppress TSH secretion from the anterior pituitary.
Anatomic position:
A subject who is standing upright facing forward, arms at the sides with palms forward, and the feet slightly apart
Body cavities (lateral view)
- dorsal cavity {inside cranial, foranum magnum, spinal cavity}
- ventral cavity
- sacra; promontary
4thorasic cavity

Anatomic Planes and sections
(A)Planes and sections of the body.
(B) Cross-section and longitudinal section of the small intestine.
(C) Transverse section through the upper abdomen.
Frontal (coronal) section,
a plane from side to side separates the body into front
and back portions.
Sagittal section,
a plane from front to back separates the body into right and left portions. A midsagittal section creates equal right and left halves.
Transverse section,
a horizontal plane separates the body into upper and lower portions.
Cross-section,
a plane perpendicular to the long axis of an organ.
