sides with palms forward
what are the 11 organ systems of the body? - ✔✔integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous,
endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and immune system
what does negative feedback do? - ✔✔reduces or shuts off original stimulus
what does positive feedback do? - ✔✔enhances or exaggerates original stimuli
,what is homeostatic imbalance? - ✔✔a disturbance that causes change in the internal state of
the organism
such as: disease, aging, and malnutrition
how does a receptor react to a stimuli? - ✔✔the receptor sends information to the control center
and sends the appropriate response to the effector which then provides the means to a response

, what is the disturbance of homeostasis beyond the norm? - ✔✔homeostatic imbalance
what can cause homeostatic imbalance? - ✔✔disease and aging
what is negative feedback? - ✔✔the response that opposes stimuli
what is positive feedback? - ✔✔the response that enables/furthers a stimuli
what are the two categories energy is divided into? - ✔✔kinetic and potential
