Question
Chapter 23, Problem 12WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which the scenario of shivering of body and increased heart rate illustrate homeostasis.
Introduction:
Homeostasis can be defined as the stability in the internal environment. It is a state of internal constancy within the body of the organism. All organism maintain this homeostasis, and without this constancy, the body might stop functioning altogether.

Show answer choices
The body shivering when outside in the cold.
The release of insulin after a meal to encourage your body to absorb the sugar from your blood, thus lowering your blood sugar.
Producing sweat when outside on a hot day that can evaporate into the air.
Breathing faster while exercising to add more oxygen to the blood and remove excess carbon dioxide from the blood.
Stretch receptors in your blood vessels detect when blood pressure is high and send signals to increase the diameter of your blood vessels and reduce the output from the heart to lower your blood pressure.
The feedback loop shown below is an example of negative feedback that uses the narrowing
and widening of blood vessels in the skin to regulate body temperature.

Given your knowledge of negative feedback and homeostatic control systems, predict whether narrowing or widening of the blood vessels of the skin will occur when a person exercises strenuously. (Hints: Muscle contraction generates heat. Narrowing of the vessels supplying an organ decreases blood flow through the organ, whereas vessel widening increases blood flow through the organ.
