Skeletal major organs   -bones -cartilages -associated ligaments -bone marrow  
🗑
Skeletal functions   -support -stores calcium and minerals -forms blood cells  
🗑
Muscular system functions   -provides movement -protection/support -generated heat and maintains body temperature  
🗑
Nervous major organs   -brain and spinal cord -peripheral nerves -sense organs  
🗑
Nervous functions   -response to stimuli -coordinates other systems -interprets sensory information  
🗑
Endocrine major organs   -pituitary, thyroid, adrenal gland, pancrease, gonad  
🗑
Endocrine function   -adjusts metabolic activity and energy use -controls changes during development  
🗑

🗑
Autoregulation   Automatic response in acell, tissue or organ to and environmental change  
🗑
Extrinsic regulation   Responses controlled by nervous and endocrine systems  
🗑
A homeostasis regulator mechanism consists of?   -receptor (receive stimulus) -control center (processes and send instructions) -effector (carries out instructions)  
🗑
Set point   Desired value for homeostasis  
🗑
Negative feedback   -the response of effector takes care of stimuli -body normalizes  
🗑
Positive feedback   -initial stimulus produces a response that amplifies the original change in conditions -body is moved away from homeostasis -normal range NOT retained -completes a dangerouz process quickly (repairing lacerations)  
🗑
Disease   Caused by the failure to maintain homeostasis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
