Concept explainers

Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a self-regulatory process through which different biological systems maintain constant internal environmental conditions to compensate for environmental changes. In human physiology, it is a process of self-regulating internal, chemical, and physical conditions at an optimal level for survival. The stability through homeostasis can be attained through dynamic equilibrium, in which there is a continuous change until it reaches its systemic conditions.

Figure 33.21 State whether each of the following processes are regulated by a positive feedback loop or a negative feedback loop. A person feels satiated after eating a large meal. The blood has plenty of red blood cells. As a result, erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates the production of new red blood cells, is no longer released from the kidney.
Which of the following examples DOES NOT involve negative feedback regulation? Regulation of blood clotting Regulation of calcium concentration Regulation of electrolyte concentration Regulation of blood glucose concentration
Which of the following is an example of negative feedback? A. High blood sugar will increase the viscosity of blood plasma (plasma is concentrated). In response, water is drawn into the plasma from surrounding tissues in order to dilute the plasma B. Breathing rate increases during exercise to provide more oxygen to muscle cells. Heart rate also increase to increase the speed at which the oxygen is delivered. C. During digestion cells in the stomach produce HCl to begin breaking down proteins, the HCl then stimulates the release of pepsin, to continue breaking down proteins. D. In the immune system, antibodies produced by B-cells bind to antigens, which activates other B-cells to produce antibodies of the same kind.
"If your muscles are not getting enough oxygen, your kidneys release a hormone, Erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow or vice versa. This is example of " neutral feedback positive feedback negative feedback all of these
Which of the following is an example of a normalphysiologic process that uses a positive feedback loop?a. blood pressure regulationb. childbirthc. regulation of fluid balanced. temperature regulation
Which of the following is an example positive feedback? contractions in childbirth blood glucose body temperature body fluid pH
Which of the following best describes an example of negative feedback? The body starts shivering to generate heat when you detect you are too warm. The feeling of hunger after you've just had a big meal. The increase in breathing rate when the body detects you are low on oxygen and high on CO2. A decreased heart rate in response aerobic exercise. The body sweating when the temperature gets too cold.
If the oxygen level in the blood decreases, the brain sends a message to the lungs/diaphragm to breathe faster, which increases the levels of oxygen in the blood. This describes a negative or positive feedback loop.
When you get cut, your skin cells release hormones that signal platelets to come and stop the bleeding. Platelets then release more hormones that signal even more platelets to help stop bleeding. The hormone signals continue until the cut is closed. Which type of feedback mechanism is exhibited in the given situation? Group of answer choices positive feedback negative feedback behavioral feedback structural feedback
Which of the following is an example of a negative feedback loop? a) shivering in response to a cold b)platelets responding to a cut c) childbirth d) lactation
Which of the following statements is True?a. Ectotherms generate most of their body heatmetabolically.b. Ectotherms include birds and mammals.c. Ectotherms experience variable body temperatures.d. Ectotherms are known as “warm-blooded” animals.
Read the following scenario and determine the parts of the homeostasis feedback loop. When a human increases physical activity, the amount of fuel burned in its cells also increases, which in turn increases the concentration of dissolved CO2 in the blood. The CO2 reacts with water in the blood to make a weak acid, which lowers the pH of the blood. Sensory cells in the aortic arch register this drop in pH and send sensory information to the medulla oblongata of the brain. The medulla oblongata sends signals to the diaphragm to increase respiration. This will clear the CO2 from the bloodstream. A. Name the stimulus in this scenario. B. Explain what a receptor is in the homeostasis feedback loop and name the receptor in this scenario. C. Explain what an integrating center is in the homeostasis feedback loop and name integrating center in this scenario. D. Explain what an effector is in the homeostasis feedback loop and name the effector in this scenario. E. Name the response in this…
