Term
|
Definition
| To maintain stable internal conditions regardless of what's changing outside the body. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| all homeostatic control mechanisms involving at least 3 components that work together: receptors, control center and effectors |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a sensor that monitors the environment and responds to changes (stimuli) and sends info to the control center |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| determines the "set point" at which a variable is maintained. Analyzes input and determines the correct response |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| gives the output response |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| output shuts off the original effect or reduces it. The variable then goes in the opposite direction it was originally to return it to its "ideal" value |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| response enhances the original stimulus so the response goes faster. The result processes in the same direction as the initial change . |

|
Definition
| upper free surface, exposed to the body exterior, has micro villi that increases the surface area |
|
|
Term
| describe the basal surface |
|
Definition
| adhesive sheet containing glycoproteins, acts as a filter that determines which molecules are allowed in the epithelium |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| bind adjacent cells to epithelium, helps to keep proteins in the apical region from diffusing into the basal region |
|
|
Term
