2. Homeostasis & the compo- -Receptor:Provide info about specific conditions(stimuli) in the
nents of homeostatic mecha- internal environment

be
-Effectors:Bring about responses that alter conditions in the
internal environment
3. Distinguish between posi- Neg:Deviation from set point is corrected(moves in opp or neg
tive/negative feedback mech- direction) & because the correction reduces that action of the
anisms & give an example of effectors.
each Pos:Process that moves condition away from normal state. Pro-
duces unstable conditions
4. Example of neg/positive feed- Neg:
back Stimulus:Room temp drops below set point
Receptors:Thermostat detects change

effector
Effectors:Heat turns on, AC turns off
Pos:
In blood clotting, chemicals that carry out clotting stimulate
more clotting, minimizing bleeding.

14. Medial/lateral M:Toward or at midline of body
L:Away from midline of body/toward the side
15. Superficial/deep S:Near surface
D:Away from body surface, more internal
16. Transverse plane (Horizontal)Plane that divides body into superior/inferior
17. Coronal plane (Frontal)Refers to a plane that divides body into anterior/pos-
terior regions
