1. How many body systems are there? 

There are 11 major organ systems in the human organism. They are the integumentary,
skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive,
urinary, and reproductive systems.

2. What is the process by which organ systems maintain relatively

constant  internal conditions?  
Homeostasis 

3. What four basic types of tissue are found in the human body?
Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue. 

4. What are the differences between the three types of neurons?

 1) sensory neurons—receive impulses and carry them from the sense organs to the
spinal cord or brain. 2) interneurons—connect sensory. 3) motor neurons and interpret
the impulse; only in the brain and spinal cord.

5. How does balance work in the body?

 The body's balance system works through a constant process of position detection,
feedback and adjustment using communication between the inner ear, eyes, muscles,
joints and the brain. Deep inside the ear, positioned just under the brain, is the inner
ear.

6. How does vision work?

When there is bright light, cones provide clear, sharp central vision and detect colors
and fine details. ... These cells in the retina convert the light into electrical impulses. The
optic nerve sends these impulses to the brain, which produces an image.
