1. Homeostasis and Response

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Nervous system : The body system that controls rapid responses by sending signals through neurons and processing information to trigger actions.
  • Reflex arc : A fast, automatic pathway that links a sensory input to an immediate motor output via processing in the nervous system.
  • Endocrine system : The system of hormone-releasing glands that regulates body functions using chemical messengers carried in the blood.
  • Osmoregulation : The process of controlling water and dissolved solutes in the body fluids to maintain stable internal conditions.
  • Accommodation : Eye focusing that allows the lens to adjust so images fall on the retina for objects at different distances.
