15
Q

What is the set point in homeostasis ?

A

The range of values where they should be within for optimal performance

16
Q

What’s a stimulus

A

What can trigger a range in variables

17
Q

What are some things that need to be within a set point range ?

A

Heart rate, body temperature, glucose and blood pressure

18
Q

Negative feedback loop

A

The effector works to immediately restore the variable to its set point range

19
Q

Positive feedback loop

A

The effector works to push a variable further outside of its range this allows the body to facility some very specific actions before resetting the variable to its set point range

20
Q

Frontal Plane

A

Anterior and posterior

21
Q

Transverse Plane

A

Superior and inferior

22
Q

Sagittal/Lateral Plane

A

Left and right side

23
Q

Matter referred to anything that

A

Occupies space and has a mass

24
ATP
Energy that drives chemical activity
25
Lipids
Water insoluble organic compounds that provide a main source of energy for body cells to make ATP
26
What’s the control centres job in homeostasis
Compares the actual value of variable to its set point range of values
27
What’s the effectors role in homeostasis
To initiate activities that change the variable and bring it back to its set point range
