A central concept about "holding constant" (and Getting Better)

Physiologic Adaptation

body's homeostatic mechanisms expand, or become more powerful, as a result of being repeatedly taxed or challenged.

Phenotypic Adaptation

body's homeostatic mechanisms expand, or become more powerful, as a result of being repeatedly taxed or challenged.

study of the nature knowledge, theory of knowledge

any special human experience that can be known only through experience or initiation

non-sensate perceptions of reality

proof of ability or trustworthiness: a certificate, letter, or experience that qualifies somebody to do something

Science is often called "rational empiricism" because of its process of telling a rational story (hypothesis), then making measurements (empiricism, then revising the story, etc.

not impartial, based on opinions

Symptom is the subjective feeling that the patient describes whereas a sign is observable to the physician, such as a rash.

Reports from others about individual or collective subjective states.

defines what is real or how things are to be

will not make “un-real” statements, will recognize it own limits, and will often document knowledge and experience with “Credentials”

refers to evolution as a group.

multiple species of extinct "pre-humans", typified by bipedal gait and smaller-than-human brains.

early primate group to which lemurs belong ("dogs in trees")

Five basic radiations of the primate order

prosimians, new world monkeys, old world monkeys, apes, man

Perturb, Perturbation

... in physiology, often used to refer to an outside disruption of environmental demand that requires the body to make some sort of adjustment to maintain homeostasis. A "perturbation" is an environmental challenge.

relating to or affecting the thick muscular wall of the heart

often used in science or psychology to refer to actions or behavior that are encouraged by multiple motivations and drives (often including biological, psychological, and social)
