divides the body into superior and inferior sections

Calcitnin

Hormone produced by thalamus glands * when to high stimulate bone to take calcium from blood = decreases calcium in blood

PTH (parathyroid hormone)

Hormones produced by the parathyroid glandTo low stimulate bone to break down & release calcium in to blood = raises blood calcium levels.

control center

Area of the body that a control mechanism should be maintained! BRAIN !

Effectors

Receives from control center & response to change the conditions

Receptor

Detects parameters and the body relays that to control center

Anatomy

The study of body structure

Homeostasis

Body maintain stable balance internal environment

Feed back loop

Cycle of events that monitor the body and homeostasis

positive feedback loop

Change occurred in controlled condition amplify change

Negative feedback loop

Change occurred in a controlled condition will reverse the change and return the conditions to normal
