Term	Definition
Integrator	The integrator is often called the integration center or control center of the feedback loop. Often a discrete area of the brain, the integrator receives input from a homeostatic sensor
Effector	Effectors are organs, such as muscles or glands, that directly influ-ence controlled physiological variables
Negative feedback	control systems are inhibitory
Positive feedback	control systems are stimulatory.
Steroids	Cholesterol is a steroid found in the plasma membrane sur-rounding every body cel
Prostaglandins (PGs)	often called tissue hormones, are lipids com-posed of a 20-carbon unsaturated fatty acid that contains a 5-carbon ring
dehydration synthesis	resulting in the loss of water molecules.
hydrolysis	a decomposition rxn addition of a water molecule to break a bond
during diffusion	diffusion always occurs down a concentration gradient.
Osmosis	is the movement of water through a semipermeable mem-brane.
Channel-mediated passive transport (facilitated diffusio	Diffusion of particles through a membrane by means of membrane channels (particles move down their concentration gradient)
Carrier-mediated passive transport (facilitated diffusion)	Diffusion of particles through a membrane by means of membrane carriers (particles move down their concentration gradient)
endocytosis	the plasma membrane “traps” some extracellular material and brings it into the cell
Pinocytosis	or “condition of the cell drinking,
allosteric effector	A molecule or other agent that alters enzyme function by changing its shape
kinases.	Sub-stances that convert proenzymes to active enzymes
Glycolysis	end product is pyruvate and occurs in the cytosol of cells, outside any particular organelle.
cutaneous membrane	or skin, is the primary organ of the integumentary system
serous membrane	lines cavities that are not open to the external environment and covers many of the organs inside these cavities. Serous membranes
