What are the three interdependent components of control mechanism
Receptor control center and effector
Monitors the environments and responds to changes
Receptor
Determines the set point at which the variable is maintained
Control center
Provides the means to respond to the stimulus
Effector
The output enhances the original stimulus for an event
Positive feedback
The output shuts off the original stimuli
NegAtive feedback
Protects the nervous system and is divided into two subdivisions
Dorsal cavities
Lines the internal body walls
PArietal sevosa
Covers the internal organs serous fluid seperates the serosAe
Visceral serosA
Concerns kidney functions and urine production
Renal physiology
What a structure can do depends on it's specific form
Principle of complementarity of structure and function
What are the levels of Structural organziAtion
Chemical level
Cellular level
Tissue level
Organ level
Organ system
Organismal level
Internal environment remains distinct from the outside
Maintaining boundaries
Process of removing wastes from the body
Excretion
Determines the set point analyzes the input it receives and then determines the appropriate response or course of action
Control center
Provides the means for the control centers response to the stimulus
Effector
Thin double layer membrane
Serosa
Part of membrane that lines cavity walls
Parietal serosa
Covers the organs in that cavity
Visceral serosa
Serous membranes are seperated by a thin layer of lubricAting fluid
Serous fluid
