The diagram in Figure 5 shows the difference between negative feedback and positive feedback. (i)Explain why negative feedback is important in homeostasis. (ii)Explain how negative feedback enables the carotid and aortic bodies and the medulla to maintain a constant blood carbon dioxide level. (iii)It is said that the initiation of an Action Potential is an example of positive feedback. With reference to the process involved, state why you think this statement is accurate?

In a homeostatically regulated system, diagram or identify the regulated homeostatic variable, sensor, control center, effector(s), and effector response(s).
State the effector and sensor of this system. Then choose if it utilizes a feedforward, negative feedback or positive feedback strategy.
While Jack and Eliza were backpacking on a trail in YellowstonePark, they encountered a grizzly bear cub that seemed amazinglytame. However, while Jack tried to feed the cub, its mother appearedand attacked him. Eliza escaped by climbing a tree, but Jack receivedseveral deep lacerations (cuts) and lost a lot of blood over the nextseveral hours. Eliza helped him reach medical aid, and he survived.Which of the following mechanisms was (were) activated to help keepJack alive? Explain your choice.(1) baroreceptor mechanism(2) CNS ischemic response(3) renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism(4) fluid shift mechanism(5) antidiuretic hormone mechanism(6) adrenal medullary responsea. 1,2,3,4,5,6 b. 1,3,4,5,6 c. 1,6 d. 1,4,6 e. 1
In a negative feedback loop, the effector moves the system in the direction as the stimulus.

What is the excitationthreshold of a neuron? Howdoes this threshold relate tothe “all-or-nothing” rule of theneural transmission?
List the physiological events that occur between delivery of the stimulus and the start of the recordedresponse (i.e. during the latent period).
Parkinson’s disease is a devastating, progressive disorder ofthe central nervous system. Damage to dopaminergic nervetracts in the brain causes tremors and impaired musclecoordination. An early-onset (inherited) form of the diseasehas been linked to a defective protein, now called parkin.Parkin has E3 activity. Describe, in general terms, howneurons with this defective protein are damaged.
