| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| negative feedback | self-regulating process where a system's output reduces or counteracts changes |
| positive feedback | a self-amplifying loop where the output of a system intensifies the original stimulus. Unlike negative feedback that maintains stability, positive feedback pushes towards a conclusion, often ending when the process is complete |
| intrinsic feedback | sensory information you feel (like balance or muscle tension), |
| extrinsic feedback | comes from external sources (coaches, video, score) and provides outside perspectives to correct or enhance a performance |
| protein synthesis -transcription | Location: Nucleus (in eukaryotes). Process: A gene's DNA sequence is copied into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. Outcome: An mRNA strand carrying the genetic code leaves the nucleus for the cytoplasm. |
| protein synthesis -translation | Location: Ribosome (in cytoplasm). Process: Ribosomes read the mRNA codons (three-nucleotide sequences). Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring specific amino acids that match the mRNA codons. Outcome: Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds to form a poly |
| protein synthesis -key players | DNA: The master blueprint for protein sequence. mRNA (Messenger RNA): Carries the DNA code from the nucleus to the ribosome. Ribosome: The cellular machinery where protein assembly happens. tRNA (Transfer RNA): Brings the correct amino acid to the ribo |
| Epithelial Tissue | Covers body surfaces, lines cavitites, forms glands ie; skin, lining of the digestive tract, airways |
| Connective Tissue | supports,, protects, binds other tissues, has cells in an extracellular matrix ie; bone, cartilage, blood, fat, tendons, ligaments. |
| Muscle Tissue | contracts to produce movement ie; skeletal(voluntary), smooth (involuntary) cardiac |
| Nervous Tissue | transmits information via electrical signals. ie; brain, spainal cord, nerves |
