Differentiate between anatomy & physiology. Anatomy is a study of the physical structure of an organism, while
physiology involves the study of the functions
Explain how anatomy & physiology are interrelated. An understanding of anatomy is critical to the study of physiology, and
learning about physiology is important to people who want to understand
how anatomical structures work
Define homeostasis. Keeping things constant; maintaining stable conditions
Explain how homeostasis and health are maintained Positive feedback creates more of a change, negative feedback reverses
by a system of positive or negative feedback change
Give examples of positive feedback. Blood clotting, child birth
