Term 15 of 199
TAKEAWAY from gradients.

Elimination of wastes, regulation of blood volume and pressure, blood composition and

An atom is the smallest particle of an element, and has unique chemical identities.

the ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions. EX: Temperature, blood
pressure, and body weight.

Matter and energy tend to flow down gradients such as differences in chemical
concentration, pressure, temperature, and electrical charge. This accounts for much of
their movement in human physiology.
