What are the basic mechanisms of homeostasis? - ANSWER-- Homeostatic control
mechanisms have at least three interdependent components: receptor, control
center, and effector.
- The receptor senses environmental stimuli, sending the information to the
control center.
- The control center, generally the brain, signals an effector (e.g. muscles) to
respond to the stimuli.
- Positive feedback enhances or accelerates output created by an activated
stimulus.
- Negative feedback brings a system back to its level of normal functioning such as
adjusting blood pressure, metabolism, and body temperature.
Anatomical position - ANSWER-Anatomical position is the description of any
region or part of the body in a specific stance. In the anatomical position, the

upper limbs are at the body's sides with the palms facing forward.

experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.
A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific
experiment.
Distinguish between control and experimental groups - ANSWER-An experimental
group is the group in an experiment that receives the variable being tested. One
variable is tested at a time. The experimental group is compared to a control
group, which does not receive the test variable.
Distinguish between hypothesis and theory. - ANSWER-A hypothesis is an attempt
to explain phenomena. It is a proposal, a guess used to understand and/or predict
something. A theory is the result of testing a hypothesis and developing an
explanation that is assumed to be true about something.
