Explain positive feedback and give examples: positive feedback is going further away from homeostasis, an example would be a mother and her fetus. Describe some ways animal skin is involved in homeostasis: the skin is used for protection, regulation of body temperature, vitamin d synthesis and sensing the external environment. Diagram the increasing levels of complexity in the organization of the animal body: cell tissue organ organ system organism. Squamous, cuboidal, columnar, pseuodstratified: connective tissue is derived from the mesoderm, divided into connective tissue proper (loose/dense) and special connective tissue (cartilage, bone, and blood, they all have an abundant extracellular material called matrix.
