b. Positive Feedback Mechanisms =

Explain how positive feedback mechanisms differ from negative feedback


mechanisms.

Two familiar examples of positive feedback mechanisms used as homeostatic


mechanisms:

1. Labor Contractions

2. Blood Clotting

Explain the positive feedback mechanism of labor contractions

c. Homeostatic Imbalance

What is homeostatic imbalance? How does homeostatic imbalance impact


our health as we age?

Check Your Understanding

1. What process allows us to adapt to either extreme heat or extreme cold?

2. When we begin to get dehydrated, we usually get thirsty, which causes us


to drink fluid. Is thirst part of a negative feedback or positive feedback
system? Defend your choice.

3. Why is blood clotting considered a positive feedback mechanism? What


event ends it?

The Language of Anatomy (pp. 11-20; Figs. 1.7-1.12; Table 1.1)

A. Anatomical Position and Directional Terms (pp. 11-13; Table 1.1)

a. Anatomical position =

i. In anatomical position

*In anatomy, anatomical position is always assumed, regardless of the


actual position of the body.

*Another point to remember is that the terms right and left refer to
those sides of the person, picture, or the cadaver (body of deceased
person) being viewednot those of the observer.
