- Positive feedback mechanisms to drive homeostasis are more common than negative feedback mechanisms. A. True B. False Cholesterol is a waxy, organic substance found in body cells and in blood. The human body uses cholesterol to make cell membranes, vitamin D, hormones, and bile (a liver product). There are two major types of cholesterol, both produced by the liver. What is the typical path that dietary cholesterol (cholesterol we get from food) takes through the digestive system, from the mouth to where it is absorbed into the bloodstream? A. Mouth → Esophagus → Pharynx B. Mouth → Pharynx → Esophagus → Small intestine → Stomach С. Mouth — D. Mouth Small intestine → Stomach → Stomach –→ Small intestine > Pharynx Pharynx → Esophagus → Esophagus - → Stomach Small intestinearrow_forwardwhich of the following situations illustrates that a homeostatic mechanism is not operating properly? a. acute high blood pressure b. normalized blood glucose levels c. dailt fluid intake equals dailty fluid output d. all of these illustrate homestatic mechanisms operating properlyarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a mechanism to maintain the body’s internal temperature? A. Fluid has a high capacity for heat, so it requires a great deal of energy to raise its temperature. B. Warmed fluids from the body’s surface return to the body’s core, thus heating the body. C. Fluid acts as a coolant by increasing the blood flow from the warm body core to the peripheral tissue, thus cooling the body. D. Fluid is evaporated as sweat from the skin’s surface, thus cooling the body.arrow_forward
- Which of the following tissues and tissue layers obtain oxygen and nutrients by diffusion because they DO NOT contain blood vessels themselves? Select one: a. spinal nerves b. smooth muscle O c. central nervous system d. spongy bone e. epidermisarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is (are) accurate in regard to skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissues?a. Cardiac muscle is autorhythmic.b. Smooth muscle is voluntary.c. Skeletal muscle is arranged in sarcomeres.d. Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissues are striated.e. Smooth muscle can be found in the walls of arteries and veins.arrow_forwardThe process of monitoring and adjusting of the body’s condition, such as temperature and pH, is known asa. exothermy.b. homeostasis.c. osmoregulation.d. ectothermy.arrow_forward
- Which of the following physiological event is not maintained by homeostasis? Select one: a. Temperature of the body. b. Blood pressure. c. Concentration of oxygen in the body. d. Concentration of nutrients in the body.arrow_forwardWhich molecule is acting a like ball-bearings in the cartilage? Select one: a. Proteoglycan. b. Type-2 collagen fibril. c. Hyaluronic acid. d. Interstitial fluid.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are examples of maintaining homeostasis (more than one answer may be correct)? a. You develop diarrhea in response to contracting norovirus b. Sweating due to eating spicy food c. Kidneys removing excess fluid through urine d. Insulin is released in response to high blood sugar, causing cells to use more sugararrow_forward
- Which of the following is an example of negative feedback? A. High blood sugar will increase the viscosity of blood plasma (plasma is concentrated). In response, water is drawn into the plasma from surrounding tissues in order to dilute the plasma B. Breathing rate increases during exercise to provide more oxygen to muscle cells. Heart rate also increase to increase the speed at which the oxygen is delivered. C. During digestion cells in the stomach produce HCl to begin breaking down proteins, the HCl then stimulates the release of pepsin, to continue breaking down proteins. D. In the immune system, antibodies produced by B-cells bind to antigens, which activates other B-cells to produce antibodies of the same kind.arrow_forwardWhich internal factor must be monitored and adjusted to maintain homeostasis?a. blood pressure b. internal temperature c. blood pH d. all of the abovearrow_forwardWhich of the listed terms is described by: “All the chemical processes that take place in the organelles and cytoplasm the cells of the body”?
