Principle of complementarity - ANSWER-Function reflects structure.
Level of structural organization after organelles - ANSWER-Cells.
Histology - ANSWER-The study of tissues.
Feedback mechanism that enhances original stimulus - ANSWER-Positive feedback.
Organ system responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients - ANSWER-Cardiovascular
system.
Cytology - ANSWER-It is the study of cells.
Negative feedback mechanisms - ANSWER-Work to return conditions to normal.
Anatomical position - ANSWER-Requires palms facing forward.
