(ex- Intracellular fluid is within a cell)
stat, -stasis - ANSWER- stand, stoppage, constancy
(ex- In homeostasis "-stasis" refers to constancy)
anatomy - ANSWER- The study of body structure

The components of a negative feedback loop - ANSWER- sensor, control center, and
effector
barrier - ANSWER- any structure that separates differing environments
, gradient - ANSWER- represents a difference in a specific physical or chemical value
between two regions
resistance - ANSWER- a factor that opposes flow along a gradient
distal - ANSWER- describes a position farther from the point of attachment or the trunk

(inguinal) regions
cyt/o - ANSWER- cell
(ex-cytology is the study of cells)
