Function of serosae:
|
secrete a cushioning, lubricating serous fluid between parietal & visceral layers → minimizes friction of organs/tissues that move with respect to each other

|
Five steps of a homeostatic mechanism that regulates body temperature
|
1. Stimulus- Body temperature rises above normal.
2. Receptors- Thermoreceptors send signals to the control center. 3. Control center- The brain detects the deviation from the set point and signals effector organs. 4. Effectors- Skin blood vessels dilate (increasing skin blood flow), and sweat glands secrete. 5. Response- Body heat is lost to surroundings, temperature drops toward normal. |
