15
Q

What is the set point in homeostasis ?

A

The range of values where they should be within for optimal performance

16
Q

What’s a stimulus

A

What can trigger a range in variables

17
Q

What are some things that need to be within a set point range ?

A

Heart rate, body temperature, glucose and blood pressure

18
Q

Negative feedback loop

A

The effector works to immediately restore the variable to its set point range

19
Q

Positive feedback loop

A

The effector works to push a variable further outside of its range this allows the body to facility some very specific actions before resetting the variable to its set point range

20
Q

Frontal Plane

A

Anterior and posterior

21
Q

Transverse Plane

A

Superior and inferior

22
Q

Sagittal/Lateral Plane

A

Left and right side

23
Q

Matter referred to anything that

A

Occupies space and has a mass

24
Q

ATP

A

Energy that drives chemical activity

25
Q

Lipids

A

Water insoluble organic compounds that provide a main source of energy for body cells to make ATP

26
Q

What’s the control centres job in homeostasis

A

Compares the actual value of variable to its set point range of values

27
Q

What’s the effectors role in homeostasis

A

To initiate activities that change the variable and bring it back to its set point range
