The study of strutures in a particular region of he body
|
|
|
Systemic Anatomy

|
|
|
Principle of Complementarity of structure and function
|
*Structure always reflects function
*What a structure can do depends on its form |
|
|
Levels of Structural Organization
|
Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism
|
|
|
Neccessary Life Functions

|
The ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions even though the world outside is constantly changing
|
|
|
Variable
|
The factor or event being controlled or regulated
|
|
|
Receptor
|
SOme type of sensor that monitors the environment and responds to changes
|
|
|
Control Center
|
Determines the set point, the level at which the variable is to be maintained
|
|
|
Effector
|
Provides the means for the control center's response (output) to the stimulus
|
|
|
Negative Feedback
|
the output shuts off the original stimulus or reduces its intensity, returning it to its ideal value
|
|
|
Positive Feedback
|
the result or response enhances the original stimulus so that output is accelerated
|
|
|
