| tissues | different cell types working together |
| organs | different tissues working together for a common goal |
| biological bonds | ionic - electrostatic forces, pos charge and neg charge covalent - share e-, strongest hydrogen - H + OH-, weakest |

| connective tissue | tendons, bones, blood, ligaments provides support, diffusional medium (fluid) |
| nervous tissue | brain... places with neurons rapid communication |
| muscle tissue | smooth, cardiac control movement: skeletal - bones cardiac - pressure, heartbeat smooth - move digestive |
| negative feedback | end result of loop opposes the beginning, easy to control ex - blood glucose regulated by insulin and glucagon |
| positive feedback | end result promotes beginning... to a point ex - Childbirth: oxytocin → stronger contractions → more oxytocin |
| positive feedforward | anticipatory, gears up multiple organ systems for response to a threatening situation ex - heart rate rising before starting workout |
