      1. Homeostatis
        1. The maintenance of a constant internal environment despite external changes.
        2. A good communication system will:
          1. Cover the whole body
            1. Enable cells to communicate with each other
              1. Enable rapid communication
                1. Enable short and long term responses
                  1. Cells communicate with each other via Cell Signalling
                    1. How receptors communicate with effectors. Can be done via:
                      1. Nervous system
                        1. Hormonal system
                    2. Negative Feedback
                      1. A process in which any change in a parameter brings about the reversal of that change so that the parameter is kept fairly constant.
                      2. Positive Feedback
                        1. A process in which any change in a parameter brings about an increase in that change
