CHAPTER 1 – Organization of the Body & Homeostasis
1. Homeostasis is best defined as the body’s ability to maintain
a
internal environment.
2. Most homeostatic mechanisms operate through
feedback.
3. When blood glucose rises, the pancreas releases
to restore balance.
4. The heart, lungs, and kidneys working together demonstrate
the level of organization known as the
level.
5. Failure of homeostasis may result in
or disease.
