when a baby is ready to be born- when a baby is about to be born, there is pressure on the cervix. the pressure and hormones involved causes contractions. more release of hormones will create more contractions and pressure. contractions stop when baby is born.
blood clotting-Once a vessel is damaged, platelets start to cling to the injured site and release chemicals that attract more platelets. The platelets continue to pile up and release chemicals until a clot is formed.

why are virus's considered nonliving
Front
Viruses also lack the properties of living things: They have no energy metabolism, they do not grow, they produce no waste products, and they do not respond to stimuli. They also don't reproduce independently but must replicate by invading living cells. Virus's are acellular particles (meaning they aren't made up of living cells like plants and animals are)

differentiation
Front
development of cells from unspecialized to specialized state
Back
The act of tapping or striking the surface of the body in order to learn the condition of the parts beneath by the sound emitted or the sensation imparted to the fingers.

thermostat analogy
Front
the thermostat is the control. when a person wants the heat to be turned on they set the thermostat at 70 degrees. once the thermostat sets the house at 70 degrees, it shuts of.

difference on physiology and anatomy?
Front
anatomy is the study of structure parts while physiology is the study of how they function

3 components of the cell theory
Front
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

body temp using homeostasis and feedback
Front
when it is cold: muscle contracts and causes you to shiver in order to warm up the body (vasoconstriction) and blood vessels decrease in diameter
when it is warm: nerves activate, brain send signals to contract variable which makes the sweat glands sweat. red blood vessel dilate too (vasodilation)

movement
Front
any motion including movement of tiny sub cellular structures or movement inside cell or organs
Back
the act of listening for sounds within the body to evaluate the condition of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, pleura, intestines, or other organs or to detect the fetal heart sound.
