Document Summary
Brain ecf ( different composition than normal ecf ) Death or dysfunction occurs w/ large changes in conditions. Blood glucose = 70 - 100mg i 100ml. Interdependence : all organs , tissues , cells work together to maintain homeostasis 1 life. Strength of response is proportional to disturbance. Note : not all reflexes are to counteract disturbances. " ex : pupil dilation / constriction , knee reflex: t tb 38. 5 c runny sensory receptors. Afferent pathway ons e sweating .
