Study Notes
Tissue Types and Functions
- Epithelial tissue is responsible for secretion and absorption.
- Connective tissue includes tendons and holds organs in place.
- Muscle tissue is involved in contraction.
- Nervous tissue is responsible for communication within the body.
Feedback Loops
- Thermoregulation is an example of a negative feedback loop.
- Blood clotting is an example of a positive feedback loop.
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a constant internal state despite external changes.
Blood Vessels
- Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
- Capillaries are involved in the exchange of materials by diffusion with nearby cells.
- Veins carry blood back to the heart and have one-way valves to prevent backflow.
