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.

Which of the following best describes the behavior of a gated channel? It stays open continuously when stimulated. It opens more frequently in response to a given stimulus. It opens more widely as the stimulus becomes stronger. It requires a stimulus to change from closed to open
In negative feedback systems the receptor sends a negative signal the stimulus is increased or amplified the effector reduces or eliminates the stimulus the control center receives input from the effector the receptor increases or enhances the stimulus
If the response to a stimulus is a change from a negative potential to a less negative potential, the change is called: stimulus response Repolarization Depolarization Stimulus recovery
What component of control mechanism produces a response in the body? Group of answer choices stimulus control center receptor effectors
In describing a positive feedback loop, which of the following would be true? a) the sensor and control center are always the same b) the effector signals the control center to shut off the initial stimulus c) the effect shuts off the initial stimulus d) the effect amplifies the initial stimu
Which of the following statements is CORRECT in describing the positive feedback control systems in our body? Group of answer choices The response counteracts the stimulus, shutting off the response loop. The response reinforces the stimulus, sending the variable farther from the set-point. The response is able to move the variable closer to the set-point. The response is able to move the variable farther from the set-point by suppressing the stimulus.

Which of the following is the correct definition of positive feedback? a The process by which the body neglects homeostasis. b A mechanism in which the body's response to a stimulis opposes the stimulus. c A mechanism whereby the body responds to a stimulus by acting to enhance the stimulus d The dynamic equilibrium maintained by an integrating center which causes an effector to respond to the stimulus received by the receptor.
List four factors that might influence the reaction time to a stimulus .Consider the ruler drop response time test you performed; do you believe it was valid and reliable? Why or why not ? Provide justifications for your answer. [Hints: Here are a few ideas. Will you conduct many tests on the same subjects (that means the people you are testing))? Is it necessary to use averages? Are there any precautions to take? [Are there any variables that must remain constant?]
