Questions & Answers(GRADED A+)
Homeostasis - ANSWER-A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal
environment while the external environment is constantly changing
negative feedback - ANSWER-a negative feedback loop brings you closer to the target
set point. (as you age, this decreases) (ex: temperature regulation)
positive feedback - ANSWER-a positive feedback loop amplifies and moves you away
from that target set point (this increases as you age) (ex: contractions during birth)
anatomy - ANSWER-the study of the structure of body parts
physiology - ANSWER-the study of the function of body parts, what they do and how
they do it
gross anatomy - ANSWER-the study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
microscopic anatomy - ANSWER-the study of structures too small to be seen by the
naked eye
chemical level - ANSWER-atoms combine to form molecules
