Types of tissue

Epithelial tissue covers exposed surfaces and lines body cavities.



Connective tissue protects, supports, and binds structures and organs.



Muscle tissue produces movement.



nervous tissue conducts nerve impulses for communication

Section vs plane

section implies an actual cut or slice to expose the internal anatomy, whereas the word plane implies an imaginary flat surface passing through the body.

Homeostasis Cycle

receptor, control center, and effector.

11 organ systems

integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and reproductive.

Homeostatic Systems Regulated by Negative Feedback

mechanisms or loops are initiated by either an increase or a decrease in the stimulus, and the end result is to return the stimulus to within its normal range or set point. Most feedback mechanisms in the human body work by this feedback.

Homeostatic Systems Regulated by Positive Feedback

mechanisms are initiated by a stimulus, and they maintain or increase the activity of the original stimulus until a climatic event.
