Homeostasis
Homeostasis
Maintaining stable internal conditions despite external changes.
Positive Feedback
Positive Feedback
A feedback mechanism where the response amplifies the original stimulus.
Negative Feedback
Negative Feedback
A feedback mechanism where the response counteracts the original stimulus.

Study Notes
Reproductive Systems
- Systems work together to create new organisms
- Classified as either male or female, based on the sex of the person
- Organs: gonads, ducts, accessory glands, and genitals
- Maintain homeostasis
- Uses feedback mechanisms
- Positive feedback – the final response increases the original stimulus to return a condition to a normal state.
- Examples are: labor, lactation, blood clotting.
- Negative feedback – the final response reverses the original stimulus to return a condition to a normal state.
- Examples are: blood sugar, body temperature.
Anatomical Language
- Important to understand anatomical language to study anatomy and physiology
- Many terms are common in textbooks and clinical practice
- Anatomical position: standing upright, facing forward, arms at the sides, palms forward, feet together
- Used as a reference point for describing the relative position of body parts
- Directional terms
- Posterior/dorsal (back)
- Anterior/ventral (front)
- Superior/cephalic (top)
- Inferior/caudal (bottom)
- Medial (toward the middle)
- Lateral (away from the middle)
- Proximal (closer to the point of attachment)
- Distal (farther from the point of attachment)
- Superficial (closer to the surface)
- Deep (farther from the surface)
