| _____ is the view that not everything about an organism can be understand or predicted from a knowledge of its components; that is, knowledge of its components; that is, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. | Holism |
| Explain negative feedback and give examples. | Process in which the body senses a change and activates mechanism that negate/reverse it; ex: winter you have the thermostat set at 68 degrees the room becomes cold and the the furnace turns on to heat the room up to 68 degrees (toilet- flush, fills back |
| Explain positive feedback and give examples. | Self amplifying cycle in which a physiological change leads to a greater change in the same direction, also a normal way of producing rapid change; ex: the head of the baby pushes against cervix and stimulates the nerves, which send signals to the brain f |
