Body's ability to detect change, and oppose it to maintain a stable internal environment

FeedBack Mechanisms

Psotive & Negative

Negative Feedback

Process in which the body senses a change and activates mechanisms to negate or reverse it



Positive Feedback

Self-amplifying cycle where a physiological changr leads to even greater change in the same diorection

Elctrons of outermost shell


Determine chemical property of an atom


Atom tend to bond with other atoms that will fill its outer shell

Chemical Bonds

Atraction of one moleculeto another


Ionic


Colvalent


Hydrogen

Ionic Bonds

Attaction of a cation to an anion


one atom fives up electrons an the other takes them
