homeostasis
This branch of biology studies body structures.
This muscular organ pumps blood throughout the body.
heart
Responsible for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and removing wastes from the body. Composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
This type of feedback loop works to return the body to its normal set point.
negative feedback
This branch of biology studies how body parts function.
physiology
These organs contain alveoli and allow gas exchange to occur.
lungs
The body's framework, providing structure, support, and protection for vital organs.
skeletal system
Sweating when body temperature rises is an example of this type of feedback.
negative feedback
“Located between the lungs and has four chambers” describes the __________ of the heart.
anatomy
This organ produces bile, processes nutrients, and detoxifies harmful substances.
liver
Several organs in this body system work together to filter, transport, and eliminate waste in forms like urine, sweat, and carbon dioxide.
excretory system
This feedback loop works to take the body away from the set point
“Pumps blood throughout the body” describes the __________ of the heart.
physiology
These organs filter blood, remove waste, and produce urine.
kidneys
This body system regulates long-term processes like growth, development, and reproduction through the release of hormones.
endocrine system
Blood clotting and childbirth are examples of this type of feedback loop.
positive feedback
This level of organization is made of groups of similar cells working together.
tissues
Most nutrient absorption occurs in this organ.
small intestine
This body system has these three tissues types in it: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
muscular system
