1. Octavius has been working outside all day under a scorching sun. As his body temperature climbs, his sweat glands release more and more sweat, releasing more heat. The release of heat and the effect of sweat on the skin cools the body back down. The temperature regulating organ is the hypothalamus and it controls the body’s response to increases and decreases in body temperature. a. What is the stimulus?b. What is the control center?c. Identify the control center’s response to the stimuli?d. Does the response stop/reverse the stimuli or enhance the stimuli?e. Is the body’s response a negative or positive feedback?
In physiology positive feedback ______. A is beneficial whereas negative feedback is harmful B is used frequently as it returns the body to homeostatic conditions C rushes infrequent events such as childbirth and blood clotting to completion D increases body temperature whereas negative feedback always lowers it
10. Which one of the following statements is true of the regulation of activities in the human body? J K L Hormones are always transported directly from a gland to an effector The interval between stimulus and response is usually greater if a message is transmitted by the nervous system rather than the endocrine system M Some processes are controlled by both the nervous and endocrine system 11. Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates milk release during breast feeding. The diagram below shows the stimulus response model for milk release during breast feeding. Messages carried by nerves generally have longer-lasting effects than hormonal messages Sensory receptor Suckling - Oxytocin Blood sel J Sensory receptor K Hypothalamus L Blood vessel M Smooth muscle in breasts A Smooth muscle in breasts Hypothalamus/ posterior pituitary gland Which one of the following is the effector in the pathway? Milk release 12. The Cannabinoids are drugs that prevent the fusion of vesicles with the…
In discussions of feedback in biological systems, negativefeedback is typically emphasized, and positive feedback is oftentreated as an anomaly. In fact, positive feedback is common inreproductive physiology. List two or three examples of positivefeedback. Explain how positive feedback functions to advantagein each case. If possible, discuss whether homeostasis is alwaysideal.
Perspiration, known more commonly as sweating, is an autonomic bodily response that decreases body temperature. During perspiration, the skin will secrete sweat that will ther- moregulate body tissues in certain conditions. Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to evaporative cooling. In addition, the blood vessels will increase in diameter via a process called vasodilation, which will bring them closer to the skin and allow heat to more easily dissipate from the body. 3 increased blood temperature identified by central receptors vasodilation of peripheral vessels and skin arterioles to transfer more heat to the skin surface 5 A diagram of thermoregulation in the human body. 2 hypothalamus receives input and activates SNS response heat leaves the body and blood temperature lowers Respond to each part in 2 to 3 complete sentences. activation of sweat glands to begin sweating (a) Identify the type of feedback loop presented in the diagram.

All else being equal, a warm chameleon sitting on a sunny tree branch will experience a decrease in body temperature due to conduction if: O It changes color, and its new hue is a lighter color, reducing the amount of energy the chameleon absorbs from the sun. A cold breeze moves over the chameleon, transferring heat from the warmer chameleon to the cooler, moving ain. It opens its mnouth, allowing water to evaporate from its tongue and cheeks. The branch is cooler than the chameleon, and heat moves directly from the warmer animal to the cooler branch.
