this type of circulation moves blood between the heart and the lungs.
what is pulmonary circulation?
the human heart has this many chambers?
what is four?

what are the atria?
this term refers to the body's ability to adjust to keep functions within limits and maintain balance.
what is homeostasis?
this type of feedback loop amplifies a change in the body rather than reversing it.
what is a positive feedback loop?
these blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart.
What are arteries?
this structure in the heart generates electrical impulses to regulate the heartbeat.
what is the SA node?
this type of involuntary response is controlled by the nervous system and helps protect the body from harm.
what is a reflex?
when a blood vessel is damaged, the body forms a clot to stop the bleeding. this is an example of what type of feedback loop?
what is a positive feedback loop?
these tiny blood vessels are the site of gas and nutrient exchange.
what are capillaries?
this part of the nervous system slows down the heart rate.
what is the parasympathetic nervous system?
this function of the nervous system helps us become aware of our surroundings, form memories and think.
what is conscious awareness?
unlike negative feedback, positive feedback contrinutes a process until what occurs?
what is a resolution? (the desired outcome)
these blood vessels carry blood back to the heart.
what are veins?
this major artery carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
what is the aorta?
