Bio 141 PSU Exam 1
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWER-the body's ability to maintain a constant
environment, the body can detect change and respond
Physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-mechanisms to maintain homeostasis
Negative Feedback Loop - CORRECT ANSWER-body senses change and
reacts to negate or reverse the condition
Positive Feedback Loop - CORRECT ANSWER-self-amplifying cycle in which an
INITIAL change leads to a greater change and so on...
