homeostatic control
variable, receptor, control center, effector
variable is the factor being changed, receptor senses the changes. stimuli then responds by sending out information called (INPUT) to the control center. Control center then determines the set point and analyzes the input it receives and responds appropriately by sending information called (OUTPUT) to the effector. Effector gives feedback according to the output it receives... Neg or Pos.
Negative Feedback
output shuts off or reduces stimuli RETURNING balance (it's goal is to prevent sudden changes)
Positive Feedback
it moves in the same direction as the stimuli ENHANCING the changes. example- labor or blod clotting
Superior (cranial)
towards the head; above
Inferior (caudal)
away fro the head; below
ventral (anterior)
toward the front of body; in front of
dorsal (posterior)
toward the back of the body; behind
medial
toward the midline; inner side of
lateral
away from midline; outter side of
Positive Feedback
it moves in the same direction as the stimuli ENHANCING the changes. example- labor or blod clotting

thoracic cavity
surrounded by ribs and muscles in chest contains pluera cavity (encases lungs) mediastinum & pericardial cavity (encases heart and remaining thoracic organs... esophogus, trachea... ect)
abdominopelvic cavity
in thoracic... houses diagphragm (most important for breathing)
stomach intestines spleen liveer and other sm organs in region.
pelvic cavity
houses bladder, rep org. and rectum
Membranes in the ventral body cavity
serous membrane :thin double layered
Parietal serosa: lines cavity walls
Visceral serosa: lines organs
Function of serous fluid
fills spaces allowing organs to slide around without causing friction or tearing... MOVEMENT
