Organs by Region
- Right Hypochondriac region includes the liver, gallbladder, right kidney, ascending colon, and small intestine.
- Epigastric region includes the stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, duodenum, adrenal glands, transverse colon, and spleen.
Negative Feedback Control Loop
- A stimulus causes a change in a physiological value, such as blood sugar or body temperature.
- A sensor, also called a receptor, detects the change.
- A control center compares the value to the normal range.
- An effector causes a change to reverse the situation and return the value to normal.
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis is when the body is in balance.
- When the body is out of homeostasis, it is considered unstable.
- Ionic bonds are the strongest type of bond due to sharing opposite electrons.
- Covalent bonds are the weakest type of bond because they share the same electron.
- Sharing is caring in covalent bonds
