Define metabolism and explain the difference between the two types of reactions involved in metabolism. - ANSWER- Metabolism refers to all of the life-sustaining reactions that go on within the body systems. Metabolism includes catabolic reactions, in which complex substances are broken down into simpler ones, and anabolic reactions, in which simple substances are assembled into complex ones. Which type of feedback (positive or negative) is used to maintain homeostasis? Use an example to illustrate your answer. - ANSWER- Negative feedback is used to maintain homeostasis. An example is the maintenance of blood sugar levels. If blood sugar rises, a hormone is released (insulin) that causes insulin to be stored in tissues. Blood sugar is reduced, and the hormone is no longer released.

The thoracic cavity contains the heart, lungs, trachea, esophagus, and large blood vessels surrounding the heart. The abdominopelvic cavity is further subdivided into the abdominal cavity, containing the stomach, most of the intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen, and the pelvic cavity, containing the urinary bladder, rectum, and internal reproductive organs.
