15

homeostasis

maintain a stable internal environment due to external changes

New cards
16

what three factors would you need for homeostasis?

receptor, control center, effector

New cards
17

receptor

New cards
19

effector

response to change of conditions

New cards
20

negative feedback

corrects set point

New cards
21

positive feedback

increases stimulus

New cards
22

when is positive feedback good?

pregnancy or blood clotting

New cards
23

viseral layer

covers the outside of the organs in that cavity

New cards
24

New cards
27

integumentary system

to protect, reg body temp, absorption and excretion

New cards
28

skeletal system

New cards
29

muscular system

movement, contains posture, produce most of body's heat

New cards
30

nervous system

sensation and motor function, thought, memory, and emotion

New cards
31

endocrine system

controls other major control system to communicate to other hormones

New cards
32

cardiovascular system

transport materials through out body (nutrients, waste (CO2), hormones, cells), and moves heat around body through blood

New cards
33

digestive system

break down food, absorb materials, eliminate waste

New cards
34

respritory system

New cards
35

lymphatic system

fights off disease

New cards
36

urinary system

eliminate waste, balance water, reg pH

New cards
37

reproductive system (male)

production of hormones and production and transportation of reproductive cells

New cards
38

reproductive system (female)

production of milk, hormones, reproductive cells, provide space for fetal development
