72
which level of structural organization is composed of two or more different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function?
organs
73
what is the difference between negative and positive feedback systems?
in a negative feedback system the response reverses the original stimulus and in the positive feed back system the response enhances the original stimulus
74
what would happen to the heart rate if some stimulus caused blood pressure to decrease? is it negative or positive?
when something causes the blood pressure to decrease, the heart rate will increase therefor it is a negative feedback
