300
This part of a homeostatic system perceives change.
What is a receptor?
300
This type of nutrient helps build new structures in your cells.
What are proteins and fats?
400
This organ system acts relatively slowly to control the release of hormones that travel to different parts of the body through the blood.

What is negative feedback?
400
If this survival need is not met, the chemical reactions in your body may take place too quickly or too slowly, your proteins won’t function properly, and you could die.
What is body temperature?
500
This organ system is closely paired with the cardiovascular system, since its main function is to return fluid leaked from the blood vessels to the body.

Femoral = thigh
Pelvic = pelvis
What is scapular? (should be shoulder blade)
500
This part of a homeostatic system receives information about the environment and sends out signals to other parts of the body in response to those changes.
What is the control center?
500
This survival need is necessary to ensure proper gas exchange.
