10. Define the following terms:
a. stimuli _________________________________________________________________________
b. afferent: ________________________________________________________________________
c. efferent: ________________________________________________________________________
11. What are negative feedback mechanisms? Give an example.
12. What are positive feedback mechanisms? Give an example.

mechanisms.
