Homeostasis

keeping things in the body stable/self regulation.

3 components to self regulation

1) receptors receive info from environment, 2) set point/ value for stability , 3) effector/ part that carry out an action

positive feedback

change causes additional changes, produces increasingly unstable conditions. Body moves further away from normal state.

Examples of positive feedback

labor contractions, blood clotting

Anatomy

structure of body parts

physiology

what and how the body parts do

metabolism

sum total of all of the chemical reactions in the body

receptor

provides information about specific condition

effectors

cause responses that alter conditions in internal enviornment

what values should be
