Question 2

Physiology

Answer 2

Study of the function of body parts; how they work to carry out life-sustaining activities

Question 3

Principle of Complimentary

Answer 3

structure determines/compliments function

Question 4

Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy

Answer 4

large visible structures visible to the naked eye

Question 5

Reginal Anatomy

Answer 9

microscopic study of cells

Question 10

Histology

Answer 10

microscopic study of tissues

Question 11

Homeostasis

Answer 11

the maintenance of relatively stable internal conditions despite continuous changes in the environment

Question 12

Variables

Answer 12

factors that can change

Question 13

What 2 systems control homeostasis? How do these system effect homeostasis?

Answer 13

nervous system: via quick nerve impulses

endocrine system: slower hormones

Question 14

What 3 components help with homeostatic control of Variables?

Answer 14

receptor, control center, and effector

Question 15

Describe a receptor

Answer 15

monitors the environment to detects the change

Question 16

describe the control center

Answer 16

• Determines set point at which variable is maintained
• Receive input form receptor
• Determines appropriate response

Question 17

Describe the effector

Answer 17

organ that carries out response

Question 18

Describe negative feedback

Answer 18

• opposes change no matter what direction the change is in

- response reduces or shuts off original stimulus
