On opposite sides of the body (R/L)

ex: The spleen (left side) is contralateral to the liver (right side)
 Positive feedback is a self-amplifying cycle in which a physiological change leads to
even greater change in the same direction. We want More, more more.

Ex: Childbirth, lactation, coagulation.

All living organisms can produce copies of themselves, thus passing their genes
on to new, younger containers—their offspring.

The ability to sense and react to stimuli (changes in the environment) is called
responsiveness or excitability. Most organisms should be capable of self propelled
movement from place to place.
