The Human Body - A ComplexSociety of Differentiated Cells

• Cells: the basic structural and functional unit(~ 100 trillion)

• Tissues: (e.g. muscles, epithelial, nervous )

• Organs: (e.g. kidney, heart, liver, pancreas)

• Organ systems: (e.g. cardiovascular, urinary)

Feedback and Feed-Forward Control

• Negative feedback: promotes stability

• Feed-forward: anticipates change

• Positive feedback: promotes a change in one direction, often leading to

instability, disease, and sometimes death.
