Living organsims are characterized by what Responsiveness, Growth, Reproduction, Movement, and Metabolism
Requirements of Organisms are what Water, Food, Oxygen, Heat, and Pressure
Water Most abundant substance in the body, environment for metabolic processes, required for transport of substances, and regulation of body temperature
Food Supply energy and raw materials for the production of necessary substances and for the regulation of vital reactions
Oxygen Helps release energy from food substances
Heat helps regulate the rates of metabolic reactions and maintain body temperatures (form of energy)

Describe Excretion Removing waste products
What is Homeostasis? Systems that work together to maintain a stable internal environment
What are Homeostasis Mechanisms? Self regulating systems that monitor aspects of the internal environment and correct them as needed
What does the Receptor do? Recieves the stimulus, detects and provides information about the stimuli
What does the Control Center do? Processes the signal and sends instructions, decision maker that maintains the set point
What does the Effector do? The muscle or gland that responds to the control center and takes action, carries out the instructions and causes the appropriate response
What is part of the Homestatic Regulation? Negative Feedback Loop and Positive Feedback Loop
What is the Negative Feedback Loop? Most common, Reverse distrubances to body's condition, and prevents sudden, severe changes
What is the Positive Feedback Loop? Uncommon, Incease the level of an event that has already started, and its short lived

Parasagittal Plane Sagittal section lateral to midline; Divides the body into unequal left and right portions
Coronal (frontal) Plane Vertical at right angles to the sagittal plane; Divides body into anterior and posterior portions
Transverse or cross section Horizontal; Divides body into upper and lower parts
Cross Section A cut across the structure
Oblique Section An angular cut
