What is the negative feedback loop of body temperature
The body senses a change and reverses it.
If too warm, vessels dilate in the skin and sweating begins (heat-losing mechanism)
If too cold, vessels in the skin constrict and shivering begins (heat-gaining mechanism)
42
What is the positive feedback loop of labor?
The body senses a change and amplifies it. Delivering a child: The head of fetus presses against cervix, nerve impulses are transmitted to the brain, pituitary secretes oxytocin, head is pressed more to the cervix

What is inspection
Just looking at the body
50
What is auscultation

NOOOOOOOO
53

63
What is physiological variation?
factors such as Sex, age, diet, weight, physical activity, genetics, and environment influence our body's functions.
64
Why is understanding anatomical and physiological variation so important in medicine?
If you don't understand it, you will overmedicate someone and cause them to die. or you will ignore someone's symptoms and cause them to die. No matter what, you're killing someone because you are dumb lol
65
Which medical scans produce only black, gray, and white images?
CT, X-ray, and MRI
66
What kinds of color does a PET scan produce?
Red: Indicates a high level of metabolic activity

67
What kinds of color does an ultrasound produce?
Red, Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, Black, white
Blood flow: Red indicates blood flowing toward the transducer, while blue indicates blood flowing away. Lighter shades of red and blue indicate faster blood flow, while darker shades indicate slower blood flow. A combination of red and blue may indicate circular flow, turbulence, or coherent flow.
Tissue type: Warmer colors like red or orange usually indicate stiffer tissues, while cooler colors like blue or green indicate softer tissues.
Blood vessel type: Orange represents blood vessels like arteries or veins.
Blood flow velocity: Green indicates very low-velocity blood flow, such as in capillaries.
Turbulent blood flow: Yellow or orange indicates turbulent blood flow, which could be caused by stenosis or other abnormalities in the blood vessels.
Liquid: Black represents liquid, such as amniotic fluid or a fluid-filled cyst.
Dense structures: White represents very dense structures like kidney stones or bone.
