Homeostasis refers to:
changing internal conditions
stable external conditions
stable internal conditions
changing external conditions
Small structures within cells that carry on specific functions are:
organelles
tissues
molecules
parasites
hormones
The sum of all chemical reactions in the body is called

This system circulates blood throughout the body
(a)
The system that breaks down the components of food into smaller components that can be absorbed and taken into the body
(a)
This system senses changes in the external environment and creates a reaction to them
(a)
This system's function is primarily to provide oxygen to body tissues for cellular respiration, remove the waste product carbon dioxide, and help to maintain acid-base balance.
(a)
The glands of this system secrete hormones, which are biological molecules that regulate cellular processes in other target tissues, so they require transportation by the circulatory system. Adequate nutrition is critical for the functioning of all the glands in this system.
(a)
This system involves cleansing the blood and ridding the body of wastes.
There are additional, equally important functions played by this system. Take for example, regulation of pH, a function shared with the lungs and the buffers in the blood. Additionally, the regulation of blood pressure is a role shared with the heart and blood vessels.
(a)
This system allows the body to move voluntarily, but also controls involuntary movements of other organ systems such as heartbeat in the circulatory system and peristaltic waves in the digestive system
(a)
This system provides structural support and protection for all the other organ systems in the body.
It also synthesizes red and white blood cells and platelets in bone marrow.
Another vital function is that the structures of this system act as a storage depot for minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium
(a)
This system is also referred to as the immune system, and has its own vessel network with glands
(a)
Which are the categories of Anatomy?
Anatominal & Supine Anatomy
Gross & Microscopic Anatomy
Prone & gross Anatomy
Gross & sagittal Anatomy

What body system defends against infection?
Endocrine
Cardiovascular
Nervous
Lymphatic/Immune
What is formed when cells of the same type join to perform a common task?
cell
tissue
organ
system
The "cause" for something to happen is called...
response
effector
control center
stimulus
Which part of the feedback loop is a body part that makes a change to bring the system back to homeostasis?
Effector
control center
response
receptor
The body part that senses the change inside the organism ...
receptor
control center
effector
response
What detects a signal from another body part that the system is outside of homeostasis and adjustments need to be made?
effector
response
control center
stimulus
The father of anatomy is -
Leonardo DaVinci
Charles Darwin
Andreas Vesalius
Alessandro Volta
Which of the following is an example of responsiveness?
pupils dialating
sweating
all three
heart rate increasing
The liver is to the digestive system as the sweat glands are to the
integumentary system
lymphatic system
circulary system
digestive system
