When a baby suckles at its mother's breast the stimulus at the breast is sent to the mother's brain (a region called the hypothalamus). The brain responds by releasing hormones to stimulate the production and the ejection of milk from the breast. This helps the newborn to receive nourishment and encourages more suckling. This example is best described as a ___.

Study Notes
Homeostasis and Feedback Mechanisms
- Negative feedback maintains homeostasis within the body by counteracting deviations from set points.
- Positive feedback amplifies changes, as seen in labor contractions, helping to expedite physiological processes.
Anatomical Terminology and Positions
- Anatomical position features the body standing upright, facing forward, arms at the sides, and palms facing anteriorly (thumbs pointed laterally).
- A sagittal plane divides the body into left and right, while a frontal plane divides it into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
- The parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity and differs from the visceral pleura, which covers the lungs.
Organ Systems and Complexity
- An organ is defined as a structure consisting of two or more tissue types working together to perform specific functions.
- The sequence from simplest to most complex structures in biology is atoms → molecules → cells → tissues → organs.
Body Cavities
- The thoracic cavity houses the heart and lungs and is located anterior to the vertebral cavity.
- The left upper quadrant contains the stomach, while the left iliac region includes the appendix.
- The dorsal body cavity contains the brain and spinal cord, but not the thoracic cavity.
Serous Membranes
- Serous membranes are double-layered and secrete a lubricating fluid, with the visceral layer covering organs and the parietal layer lining cavity walls.
- The statement that visceral pericardium covers the outer surface of the heart and parietal pericardium lines the internal walls is incorrect.
Physiological Perspectives
- Physiology must be understood in relation to anatomy, as the function of organs and systems (physiological) is closely related to their structure (anatomical).
- An example of a physiological description involves the contraction of smooth muscle reducing blood flow, demonstrating a functional response.
Important Concepts
- The immune system works closely with the lymphatic system to protect the body.
- Receptors detect changes in the environment, such as temperature, playing a crucial role in negative feedback mechanisms.
- Recognizing these concepts enhances understanding of overall body function and structure relationships.
