Chapter 53, Problem 1CQ
Summary Introduction
To imagine: The integrated responses of an animal’s body to other major homeostatic challenges.
Introduction: The systemic homeostasis inside the body of an animal is an ability to maintain the condition of dynamic equilibrium. This dynamic equilibrium presents the mechanisms by which the organisms can maintain the constant composition of their body parts and other ultrastructures of the body. The pH, temperature, blood pressure, blood composition, ions level, and the levels of the

Define homeostasis. What happens when homeostasis fails?
List the three basic components of a control system and give an example.
Describe the components of a reflex pathway. Contrast the response loop and the feedback loop.
Explain the relationship between a regulated physiological variable and its setpoint. Is the physiological variable
exactly at its setpoint?
Compare and contrast negative and positive feedback. Give a biological example of each.
Is the setpoint constant or can it change over time? If setpoints can change over time, what is this called?
Chapter 2:
A behavioral physiologist is studying the homeostatic control of blood pH. In a trial,
a lizard runs on a treadmill for a set amount of time and the blood pH is measured.
The blood pH drops as carbon dioxide is released into the bloodstream. Which
component of the homeostatic feedback system is responsible for determining if the
blood pH is far enough from normal that a response is necessary?
Sensor
Effector
Assimilator
Integrator

- One of our homework questions in Anatomy 1 states Describe the relationship between homeostatic imbalance and disease. I understand that homeostasis is what our bodies use to keep balance and regulation. Is this question something along the lines of; When our bodies catch a flu/virus the body fights off the disease by giving us a fever. The fever fights off the infection by chemical responses that come from the receptor detecting change in the body and trying to get all levels of each system back to it's regular functioning levels?

- Using your knowledge of the heart, blood vessels and factors affecting blood pressure, create a possible reflex control/feedback loop that would occur if a person's blood pressure suddenly decreases. Include all of the elements of a feedback loop. Your answer can simply be a list of steps that would occur, but make sure to indicate all of the elements of a feedback loop. This does not to be extremely detailed, I am looking for the elements of the feedback loop and to see that you understand the factors affecting blood pressure. I will start the loop: 1. Stimulus: Drop in blood pressure.arrow_forwardIf the blood temperature falls too low, this is also sensed by the brain and signals are sent to the cutaneous arteries (those supplying the skin) to constrict them. Warm blood is then retained deeper in the body and less heat is lost from the surface. If this is inadequate, the brain activates shivering. Each muscle tremor in shivering releases heat energy and helps warm the body back toward its 98.6 degrees set point. • This is an example of a. a negative feedback loop b. a positive feedback looparrow_forwardCreate a transition period for the sport volleyball A Transition Period is the first thing you should think about when considering an extended period of training.

But the direction of the propelling movements did not matter: a whale’s fluke moves vertically, and a shark’s fin moves horizontally. Either way the goal to propel the animal forward is achieved.
