🗑
Pathology   structural and functional changes caused by pathology  
🗑
Exercise Physiology   changes in structure and function caused by exercise  
🗑
Structural and functional organizations   1. Chemical ( atoms) 2. Cell 3. tissue 4. organ 5. organ system 6. organism  
🗑
Chemical   interaction of atoms/ molecules  
🗑
Cell   Functional unit of life  
🗑
Tissue   a group of similar cells and surrounding material  
🗑
Organ   one or more tissues functioning together  
🗑
Organ System   group of organs functioning together  
🗑

🗑
Growth   increase in size and/or number of cells  
🗑
Development   changes in an organism over time  
🗑
Reproduction   new cells or new organisms  
🗑

🗑
Morphogenesis   changes in shape of tissue or organ  
🗑
Homeostasis   the existance and maintenace of a relatively constant enviornment within the body  
🗑
Variables   things that can change like temperature , it fluctuates around the set point.  
🗑
Set point   the ideal normal value of a variable  
🗑
Feedback system components   1. Receptor 2. Control Center 3. Effector  
🗑
Receptor   monitors the value of some variables  
🗑
Control Center   Establishes the set point  
🗑
Effector   can change the value of the variable-> response  
🗑
Negative feedback   any deviation from the set point is made smaller ( resisted) ex. regulation of blood pressure, body temperature, blood sugar  
🗑
Positive feedback   when a deviation occurs the response is to make the deviation greater . ex. after severe bleeding blood pressure drops and keeps dropping

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.
