2. Animal Tissues: Types, Structure & Function

Ever use tissues? Well, your body certainly does! Actually, four different kinds! They are the epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and connective tissue. This lesson goes over the basics of these tissues.

3. Using Feedback Systems to Regulate Growth, Reproduction & Dynamic Homeostasis

In order to maintain specific internal conditions, organisms use feedback mechanisms. Feedback is essential to the regulation of internal environments, which allows for proper biological functioning.

4. Homeostasis and Adaptation to Stress

Homeostasis can seem complicated, but really it's just a balancing act. This lesson will look at how stress can affect us and the important part it plays in maintaining homeostasis.

5. Homeostasis and Temperature Regulation in Humans

Do you wonder how your body is able to maintain a consistent temperature? Have you ever questioned why you get goosebumps when you're cold? This lesson will introduce you to homeostasis and answer your questions about body temperature regulation and reactions, like goosebumps.

6. Energy Balance: How the Body Uses Energy

Energy balance is the relationship between the energy you take in and the energy you use. Learn how you take in energy from the foods you eat and how your body uses that energy for your basal metabolism, physical activity and food digestion.
