| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| monosaccharides | simple sugars- small carbs- glucose |
| disaccharides | double sugars-sucrose (table sugar)maltose & lactose |
| polysaccharides | complex sugar- glycogen (animal starch) |
| homeostasis | the relatively constant states maintained by the body |
| sensor mechanisms | identifying the variable being controlled. Ex: Endocrine (hormone producing) act as homeostatic sensors |
| integrator | receives information from a homeostatic sensor |
| effector | organs, muscles that are directly influenced & are controlled by psychological variances. Ex: increases/ decreases in body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar. |
| feedback | sensory receptors in the skin act as sensors by monitoring the body's temperature |
| hypothalamus | the integrator compares the actual body temperature with the setpoint body temperature. |
| internal environment | the healthy environment of the cells. (temperature, pressure, and the chemical composition being constant.) |
