gradient
posterior knee joint
Popliteal
divides the body into front and back portions
Frontal/Coronal Plane
Hydrogen bond
The type of bond found between water molecules.
the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
homeostatsis

What is the technical name for the shin region?
Crural
along/toward the vertebral surface of the body
dorsal
the simplest form of matter to have unique chemical properties
element
occurs in nature when the product of a reaction leads to an increase in that reaction. If we look at a system in homeostasis, a ? moves a system further away from the target of equilibrium
positive feedback
Metabolism is the sum of __________ and __________.
anabolism; catabolism
anterior of elbow
Cubital
toward the trunk (describes relative position in a limb or other appendage) (near)
proximal
charges particles with unequal numbers of protons and electrons
ions
is a reaction that causes a decrease in function. It occurs in response to some kind of stimulus. Often, it causes the output of a system to be lessened; so, the feedback tends to stabilize the system. This can be referred to as homeostasis, as in biology, or equilibrium, as in mechanics.
negative feedback loop

reproductive
lymphatic
epidermal
