A body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body.
neurons
Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate, and transmit information.
Glia
cells that support, nurture, and insulate neurons, remove debris when neurons die, enhance the formation and maintenance of neural connections, and modify neuronal functioning
Hormones
chemical messengers, mostly those manufactured by the endocrine glands, that are produced in one tissue and affect another
homeostasis
*Keeps the internal environment stable
metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several complex biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system to offset disrupting changes
set point
tells what a particular value should be
negative feedback
A system that maintain a constant level and if it goes to low or too high, it works the opposite way to bring it back towards the set point
*defends the set point
*a mechanism of response in which a stimulus initiates reactions that reduce the stimulus
positive feedback
amplifies the response away the set point
exp: woman to going to labor, blood clotting or the increase rise in vital signs during fight or flight response



A physiological control mechanism in which a change in some variable triggers mechanisms that amplify the change.

circadian rythm
the biological clock; regular bodily rythms (for example, of tempeture and wakefulness) that occur on a 24 hour cycle.

adaptation to a new climate (a new temperature or altitude or environment)
thermoregulation
the maintenance of body temperature within a range that enables cells to function efficiently.

convection
the transfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or air past a surface. ("wind-chill factor") Exp: Fan on a hot day
countercurrent heat exchange
*the mixing of the cold blood with the warm blood.
Exp: a dolphin's fin is thin and does not have much fat on it because they need to be light to swim fast, so when swimming in a cold water ocean, the blood from it's fins are cold but when it it's flowing back to the core system of the dolphin, it's mixed with the warm blood, so overall, the cold blood coming back into the system is not as cold
