Which of the following statements about homeostasis is NOT correct?
Extrinsic regulation usually occurs when autoregulation is insufficient to maintain
homeostasis.
Autoregulation refers to the automatic changes in a cell, tissue, organ, or system
that occur with environmental variation.
The actions of the nervous system are not part of the autoregulatory processes of
homeostasis.
Hormones function in extrinsic regulation of homeostasis.
Maintaining long-term homeostatic effects such as growth in children is mediated
mainly by autoregulation.
Which of the following is NOT an example of positive feedback?
Likely to be associated with disease processes
Important in processes that must be completed quickly
Leads to response that exaggerates stimulus
Primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation
Loop can be broken only by external processes
Which organ system protects against environmental hazards, helps regulate body
temperature, and provides sensory information?
Digestive system
Cardiovascular system
Integumentary system
Endocrine system
What is the function of the urinary system?
Provides movement and support and generates heat that maintains body
temperature
Directs long-term changes in the activities of other organ systems, adjusts
metabolic activities of the body, and controls changes during development
Delivers air to alveoli, provides oxygen to the bloodstream, removes carbon
dioxide from the bloodstream, and provides sounds for communication
Excretes waste products from the blood and regulates blood ion concentration and
pH
Which plane would you use to cut the human body so you could see the anterior and
posterior sections of the heart?
Midsagittal
Sagittal
Frontal/coronal
Transverse
Homeostatic regulation of body temperature is an example of:
negative feedback
disease
positive feedback
After eating a sugary donut and drinking a soft drink your blood glucose levels rise above a
normal range. How would negative feedback affect this variable?
Blood glucose levels would rise even further.
Blood glucose levels would fall to below what is considered a normal range.
Blood glucose levels would return to a normal range (homeostasis).
None of the above.
Which body cavity would a surgeon open to operate on the uterus?
Mediastinum
Pleural cavity
Pericardial cavity
Pelvic cavity

This activity contains 25 questions.
What is the key relationship between anatomy and physiology?
Anatomy is more important than physiology.
Physiological functions are performed by an array of general structures.
There is no relationship between anatomy and physiology.
Physiological functions are performed by specific structures.
Physiology is defined as ______________.
the study of the effects of exercise
the study of the function of anatomical structures
the analysis of the structures of cells
the study of the biological effects of disease
The study of the anatomical organization of specific areas of the body, such as the neck or
trunk, is ___________.
cell physiology
regional anatomy
developmental anatomy
medical anatomy
Which of the following is an example of extrinsic regulation?
The brain maintains blood pressure by controlling the diameter of its blood
vessels.
Tissues release chemicals to increase blood flow to their cells.
Blood vessels release chemicals to increase platelet aggregation.
The nervous system stimulates the heart to beat faster during exercise.
The maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment is:
inflammation
positive feedback loop
metabolism
homeostasis
Which part of the homeostatic regulatory system detects changes in the environment?
Control center
Stimulus
Effector
Receptor
What is the body's primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation?
Stimulus enhancement
Negative feedback
Positive feedback
Control center inhibition
Under "normal" conditions _______________.
set points are generally found within a set range. Nevertheless, minor oscillations
can raise havoc within the system
set points are rigidly adhered to and when slight deviations occur, the body
launches an "all out effort" to bring the system back to the norm
set points are generally found within a set range. This allows for minor oscillations
around the set point; these minor oscillations are usually ignored
set points are highly variable and internal reactions to set points cannot be
predicted with any accuracy at all
In a positive feedback system, what effect does the response to the stimulus have on the
stimulus itself?
Exaggerates the stimulus
May increase or decrease the stimulus, depending on the circumstances
Decreases the stimulus
Does not affect the stimulus
Why is positive feedback useful to the human body?
Helps to maintain a normal range of set point values
Restores a variable to homeostasis
Provides long-term control over the body's internal conditions
Can complete a potentially dangerous or stressful process quickly
When does disease or illness form?
When a receptor receives a stimulus
When there is too much negative feedback
When the body cannot maintain homeostasis for a particular variable or set of
variables
When positive feedback is occurring
