- Name the structure that controls opening and closing of guard cells.arrow_forwardFill in the blank: Whenever tissues are damaged, _______________________ receptors are likely to be stimulated.arrow_forwardPositive feedback loops are used in chemical messaging in the body. Below is a list of steps that describe how a positive feedback system works in chemical messaging. The list is out of order. Placed the list in the proper order. 1. A sensor in a persons finger senses a change in the bloodstream. 2. The chemical messenger triggers the production of a specialized protein in the finger in response to the original signal. 3. A chemical messenger is released from the brain and travels to the finger. 4. As the specialized protein is made in the finger, it triggers the production of even more specialized protein. 5. The brain determines that conditions are no longer in homeostasis.arrow_forward
- It is a dark and stormy night. Tired from many hours of studying Anatomy, you walk down the steps of the library and step on something that is decidedly NOT concrete. Whatever it is twists and squirms, letting out a strange squeal. In a blinding flash of lightning, you see what’s underfoot…it looks like a large black cat or squirrel with a bright white stripe down the center of the tail. Before you can scream, the darkness returns and a foul, almost unbearable stench hits your nostrils. You run as fast as you can for your car, but too late…you are drenched in the overpowering odor. IN PARAGRAPH FORMAT, describe the following in the same story-like manner as above. Describe how your ANS limbic system respond to such an event. What division/structures are being triggered and how does your body respond? Include response of major organs effected. Identify which of your senses have been used. From initial receptor to regulatory center to any motor output, trace the pathway of…arrow_forwardwrite the function of guard cells.arrow_forwardMatch each term with the correct person.arrow_forward
- In negative feedback systems the receptor sends a negative signal the stimulus is increased or amplified the effector reduces or eliminates the stimulus the control center receives input from the effector the receptor increases or enhances the stimulusarrow_forwardIn describing a positive feedback loop, which of the following would be true? a) the sensor and control center are always the same b) the effector signals the control center to shut off the initial stimulus c) the effect shuts off the initial stimulus d) the effect amplifies the initial stimuarrow_forwardBiting flies can transmit diseases and cause loss of blood for animals in nature. Horses have developed behaviors to repel biting flies such as ear twitching, head tossing, leg stomping, and tail swishing. Which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?arrow_forward
- Describe how blood sugar (e.g. glucose plasma concentration) is regulated with the hormones, insulin, and glucagon. For this feedback loop, identify the following components of the feedback loop: stimulus, receptor, control center, efferent pathway, effector, and response. Be comfortable with this feedback loop to be able to describe the effects of changing various components of the feedback loop.arrow_forwardWhat type of nerve cell would carry impulses from the scent receptors in your nose to your brain?What type of nerve cell would carry messages from your brain to the muscles in your leg?arrow_forwardFigure 35.3 Which of the following statements is false? The soma is the cell body of a nerve cell. Myelin sheath provides an insulating layer to the dendrites. Axons carry the signal from the soma to the target. Dendrites carry the signal to the soma.arrow_forward
