Assignment Homeostasis:

 * ==//Choose a system. With your group, illustrate each of the following concepts for your system. More detail is provided in the assignment sheet below.//==


 * //Organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, reproduce, and maintain organization.//
 * //Homeostatic mechanisms reflect both common ancestry and divergence due to adaptation in different environments.//
 * //Within multicellular organisms, specialization of organs contributes to the overall functioning of the organism//
 * //Organisms exhibit complex properties due to interactions between their constituent parts.//
 * //Organisms use feedback mechanisms to maintain their internal environments and respond to external environmental changes.//
 * //Biological systems are affected by disruptions to their dynamic homeostasis.//


 * ==This reading summarizes the body's many responses to changes in temperature.==


 * ==Here are two examples of how tissues interact to allow an organ to function.==


 * ==Below are links to a virtual histology labs which have digital photos and descriptions of the tissues you will look at in lab.==

 * ==This is a link to an amazingly helpful website called Practical Anatomy Lab (PAL). It is an awesome tool for review in anatomy and it has an excellent section on histology as well. I am sure you will continue to benefit from this site in college!==

 * ==Here is a link to an excellent video (1 hour) on how the brain works. The page also has links to a number of other interesting sites including one that lets you look at all kinds of brain images (CT scans, MRI's etc) and another that allows you to simulate the early brain mapping experiments. Explore and learn!==
