Homeostasis
condition of equilibrium in the body. is maintained by the body’s regulatory process
Homeostasis regulatory surrounding fluid
extracellular fluid
homeostasis negative feedback loop
stimulus–controlled condition–receptors–control center–effectors–response (alters the controlled condition)–return to homeostasis ((blood pressure))
homeostasis positive feedback loop
stimulus–controlled condition–receptors–control center–effectors–response (causing an increase in the stimulus and repeating the process) ((birth))
parietal/visceral pleura
parietal lining of lung cavity
visceral lining covering the lungs
parietal/visceral pericardium
parietal lining the heart cavity
visceral lining the heart organ
