Term
What happens to maintain homeostasis if there is an increase in Temperature?
Definition
-Dermal Vessels dialate
-Sweat Glands Secrete
-Body heat is lost
Term
What happens to maintain homeostasis if the there is a decrease in the temperature?
Definition
-Dermal Vessels constrict
-Muscles contract involuntarily
-body heat is conserved
Term
What happens when the body is damaged?
Definition
-Blood vessels dialate providing more nutrientsa and oxygen
-Fluids diffuse from vessels to damaged tissue
-Scabs (dried blood clots) form
-Fibroblasts-secrete new collagen fibers
-Phagocytes-remove dead cells
-New Cells form
-Scars-newly formed "Connective Tissue"
