level
96-99% of all cells are made of what? - ✔️✔️oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen
define cell - ✔️✔️fundamental unit of structure and function
What is important about muscle tissue? - ✔️✔️-specialized for contracting
,-generate tension to produce movement
What are the three types of muscle tissue? - ✔️✔️skeletal, cardiac, smooth
What does skeletal muscle do? - ✔️✔️moves bones
What does cardiac muscle do? - ✔️✔️pumps blood throughout the body
What is unique about smooth muscle? - ✔️✔️in all organs that are hallow
What are unique of nervous tissue? - ✔️✔️-initializing and transmitting electrical
signals over long distances
-communication, coordination, and control
What characterizes epithelial tissue? - ✔️✔️specialized for exchanging material
between cells and environment
What are the two structures of epithelial tissue? - ✔️✔️epithelial sheets and secretory
glands
What are the three functions of epithelial tissue? - ✔️✔️protection, absorption,
secretion
How does the epithelial tissue protect? - ✔️✔️boundaries from external environment
(skin and body openings)

functions
define organ systems - ✔️✔️group of organs organized into body systems
What are the three main parts of controlling homeostasis? - ✔️✔️1. detect deviations
from normal
2. integrate this information with other known information
3. Make adjustment to restore to desired level
Define compensatory physiological responses - ✔️✔️counter-reactions by body

Where are homeostasis extrinsic controls located? - ✔️✔️another organ regulating a
different organ -> coming from the outside
define steady state - ✔️✔️A system in which a particular variable is not changing but in
which energy must be constantly added to maintain the constant condition.
Define negative feedback - ✔️✔️Increase or decrease in a variable bring about
response to move variable in opposite direction of original change

feedback system
Define positive feedback - ✔️✔️Amplifies change such that controlled variable moves
in direction of initial change
Does a positive feedback system favor stability? - ✔️✔️no
How many cells is the human body composed of? - ✔️✔️100 trillion cells
