Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWER -all of the chemical reactions in an organism that support life
homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWER -The body's maintenance of a stable internal environment
homeostatic mechanisms - CORRECT ANSWER -receptors, control center, effectors
receptor - CORRECT ANSWER -provide information about specific conditions (stimuli) in the internal environment
control center - CORRECT ANSWER -set point; a particular value, such as body temperature at 37°C (Celsius) or 98.6°F (Fahrenheit)
effector - CORRECT ANSWER -cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment
negative feedback - CORRECT ANSWER -If the receptors measure deviations from the set point, effectors are activated that can return conditions toward normal. As this happens, the 2 / 4

deviation from the set point progressively lessens, and the effectors gradually shut down.

(parietal layer) from the layer covering the organ (visceral layer).
Aging at a cellular level - CORRECT ANSWER -Cells mark time too, many approaching the end of a limited number of predetermined cell divisions as their chromosome tips whittle down. Such cells reaching the end of their division days may enlarge or die. Some cells may be unable to build the apparatus that pulls apart replicated chromosomes in a cell on the verge of division. Impaired cell division slows wound healing, yet at the same time, the inappropriate cell division that underlies cancer becomes more likely. Certain subcellular functions lose efficiency, including repair of DNA damage and transport of substances into and out of cells. Aging cells are less efficient at extracting energy from nutrients and breaking down aged or damaged cell parts.
anatomical position - CORRECT ANSWER -Body facing forward, feet are parallel to each other, arms are at he sides with the palms facing forward
Proximal - CORRECT ANSWER -Closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
