1. Homeostasis The maintenance of a constant internal environment.
2. Controlled Vari- Blood glucose levels, body temperature, water content.
ables
3. Negative Feed- Detects changes and initiates responses to restore normal conditions.
back Mechanism
4. Central Nervous Brain and spinal cord.
System (CNS)
5. Sensory Neurons Transmit impulses from receptors to CNS.
6. Motor Neurons Transmit impulses from CNS to effectors.
7. Effectors Muscles or glands that produce a response.
8. Reflex Arc Automatic response involving sensory neuron, relay neuron, and motor neuron.
9. Endocrine Sys- Glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
