|
Definition
| Nervous system; Endocrine system |
|
|
Term
| The nervous system participates in controlling homeostasis by: |
|
Definition
| Causing rapid changes via nerve impulses |
|
|
Term
| The endocrine system participates in controlling homeostasis by: |

| A Feedback System Loop is: |
|
Definition
| A cycle of events that monitor and regulate homeostasis |
|
|
Term
| The process of a feedback system loop is: |
|
Definition
1) Stimulus produces a change
2) Receptor AKA Sensor detects change and signals
3) the Control Center AKA Integration Center AKA Central Nervous System, which receives and interprets input in order to send output to
4) the Effectors (muscles and glands), which receive output and produce a
5) Response |
|
|
Term
| The two types of feedback system loops are: |
|
Definition
| Positive feedback loop; Negative feedback loop |
|
|
Term
| A positive feedback loop does what? |
|
Definition
| Enhances (increases) the stimulus; e.g. initiation of uterine contraction leads to increased uterine contractions |
|
|
Term
| A negative feedback loop does what? |
|
Definition
| Reverses the original stimulus; e.g. body becomes cold and the body shivers to warm itself |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A situation when the body is unable to function properly and cannot maintain homeostasis |
|
|
Term
| The two types of disease localization are: |
|
Definition
| Local - affects a small area of the body; Systemic - affects and/or spreads throughout the body |
|
|
Term
| Define signs and symptoms |
|
Definition
| Signs - objective changes (e.g. fever, break in a bone); Symptoms - subjective changes (e.g. headache, nausea) |

Term
| Name and describe the four body planes |
|
Definition
1) Sagittal - lengthwise, longitudinal cut from top to bottom that yields L and R portions (can be midsagittal or parasagittal)
2) Frontal AKA Coronal - LW, Longitudinal cut from top to bottom, perpendicular to sagittal plane, yields anterior and posterior portions
3) Transverse - side-to-side cut on a horizontal plane, yields superior and inferior portions
4) Oblique - a plane angled to any of the other planes |
|
