WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
what is homeostasis? - answer-the bodys
attempt to maintain a constant internal
enviroment.
what is negative feedback? - answer-a
reaction in which the system responds in such
a way as to reverse the direction of change
lymphatic system - answer--picks up fluid
leaked from blood vessels and returns it to
blood.
-disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream.
-houses white blood cells (lyphocytes)
involved in immunity.
-the immune response mounts the attack
against foreign substances within the body.
,nervous system - answer-responds to internal
and external changes by activating appropriate
muscles and glands.
digestive system - answer-breaks down food
into absorbable units that enter the blood for
distribution to body cells.

2. the control center- receives and processes
information from the receptor.
