Explain homeostasis
Maintenance of life despite continuous changes in the environment
Ex. The body can control temperature by releasing heat
Define internal environment and external environment
Plasma membranes / skin
Define, explain and give example of negative feedback
Most feedback mechanisms in the body
Example: regulation of body temperature or regulation of blood volume
Define explain and five example of positive feedback
Response enhances or exaggerates original stimulus
Example giving birth, menstrual cycle or platelets to stop bleeding
Define superior and give example
Towards the head end
Example: the head is superior to the abdomen
Describe and give example of inferior:
Away from the head or toward lower end of the body
The navel is inferior to the chin
Explain and give example of ventral( anterior )
Towards or at the front of the body
Example the breastbone is anterior to the spine
Define and give example of dorsal ( posterior )
Towards the back of the body
Example : the heart is posterior to the breastbone
Explain and give example of medial
Toward or at midline of the body on the inner side
The heart is medial to the arm
Explain and give example of lateral
Away from the middling of the body on the outer side of the arms
