What is anatomy
Structure (what it includes)
What is physiology?
Function (what it does)
How do anatomy and physiology relate?
Structure (anatomy) determines what function (physiology)
What is homeostasis?
Maintaining a relatively stable condition
How are feedback systems and homeostasis related?

What is the difference between a negative and a positive feedback loop?
Negative: og stimulus reversed
Positive: end products of an action cause more of that action to occur
Ex) child birth; contractions
3 parts of feedback system and examples
Receptor: measure
Control center: assess
Effector: change
How does diabetes relate to homeostasis? Describe in detail the feedback loop (receptor control center and effector)
Affects homeostasis by disrupting blood sugar levels
