structures.
There is no relationship between anatomy and physiology.

Which of the following is an example of extrinsic regulation?
The nervous system stimulates the heart to beat faster during
exercise.
Tissues release chemicals to increase blood flow to their cells.
Blood vessels release chemicals to increase platelet aggregation.
The brain maintains blood pressure by controlling the diameter of
its blood vessels.
The maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment is:
metabolism
homeostasis
positive feedback loop
inflammation
Which part of the homeostatic regulatory system detects changes in the
environment?
Control center
Effector
Stimulus
Receptor
What is the body's primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation?
Control center inhibition
Positive feedback
Negative feedback
Stimulus enhancement
Under "normal" conditions _______________.
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. Nevertheless,
minor oscillations can raise havoc within the system
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?
May increase or decrease the stimulus, depending on the
circumstances
Exaggerates the stimulus
Decreases the stimulus
Does not affect the stimulus
Why is positive feedback useful to the human body?
Provides long-term control over the body's internal conditions
Restores a variable to homeostasis
Helps to maintain a normal range of set point values
Can complete a potentially dangerous or stressful process quickly
When does disease or illness form?
When a receptor receives a stimulus
When the body cannot maintain homeostasis for a particular
variable or set of variables
When there is too much negative feedback
When positive feedback is occurring

worked together to perform several functions?

Molecule
Tissue
Which of the following statements about homeostasis is NOT correct?
Hormones function in extrinsic regulation of homeostasis.
Extrinsic regulation usually occurs when autoregulation is
insufficient to maintain homeostasis.
The actions of the nervous system are not part of the autoregulatory
processes of homeostasis.
Autoregulation refers to the automatic changes in a cell, tissue,
organ, or system that occur with environmental variation.
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?
Loop can be broken only by external processes
Important in processes that must be completed quickly
Leads to response that exaggerates stimulus
Likely to be associated with disease processes
Primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation

body temperature, and provides sensory information?
Endocrine system
Cardiovascular system
Digestive system
Integumentary system
What is the function of the urinary system?
Directs long-term changes in the activities of other organ systems,
adjusts metabolic activities of the body, and controls changes during
development
Provides movement and support and generates heat that maintains
body temperature
Excretes waste products from the blood and regulates blood ion
concentration and pH
Delivers air to alveoli, provides oxygen to the bloodstream,
removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream, and provides sounds
for communication
Which plane would you use to cut the human body so you could see the
anterior and posterior sections of the heart?
Frontal/coronal
Midsagittal
Transverse
Sagittal
Homeostatic regulation of body temperature is an example of:
disease
negative feedback
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.
