The study of human structure ✔️Anatomy
The study of human function ✔️Physiology
A tendency for organisms to maintain a balanced or constant internal state ✔️Homeostasis
A state of balance ✔️Equilibrium
Consequences of homeostatic imbalance ✔️Illness or death
Thermoregulation Process ✔️
A feedback loop in which a system responds to a change by reversing that change, or by decreasing the rate at which the change is occurring.
(Ex. thermoregulation) ✔️Negative Feedback Loop
A feedback loop in which a system responds to a change by amplifying that change. (Ex. childbirth) ✔️Positive Feedback Loop
Changes, occurring within or outside the body, that affect homeostasis ✔️Stimuli
Detects and sends messages to the control center ✔️Receptors
Processes the signal, alerts the effector about the detected change, and gives instructions ✔️Control Center
An organ or cell that acts in response to a stimulus; handles the issue ✔️Effector
Divides a human body into anterior and posterior sections ✔️Frontal Plane or Coronal Plane
Divides the human body into equal left and right sections ✔️Midsagittal Plane
Divides the human body in half, creating two sections; top and bottom ✔️Transverse or Horizontal Plane
Parallel plane next to the midsagittal plane ✔️Parasaggittal Plane
Plane cut at an angle ✔️Oblique

Towards the feet ✔️Inferior
Closer to the body or point of attachment ✔️Proximal
Away from point of attachment ✔️Distal
Front of the body ✔️Anterior (Ventral)
Back of the body ✔️Posterior (Dorsal)
Between two structures ✔️Intermediate
On the same side of the body as another structure ✔️Ipsilateral
