|
What defines "Complementarity of structure and function"?
|
function always reflects structure
|
|
|
What is homeostasis? And what are the mechanisms used to maintain homeostasis?
|
The ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions despite a changing environment.
control center-analyzes input determines response receptor-(afferent)sensor that monitors the changes effector-(efferent)provides the means for the cc to cause a response |
