22
Q

Removal of wastes produced by metabolic reactions

A

Excretion

23
Q 
Life depends on 5 environmental factors:
required for metabolic process
required for transport of substances
regulates body temperature
most abundant substance in body
A

Water

24
Q

Life depends on 5 environmental factors:
provides necessary nutrients
supplies energy
supplies raw materials

A

Food

25
Q

Life depends on 5 environmental factors:
One-fifth of air
used to release energy from nutrients

A

Oxygen

26
Q

Life depends on 5 environmental factors:
form of energy
partially controls rate of metabolic reactions

A

Heat

27
Q

Life depends on 5 environmental factors:
application of force on an object
atmospheric pressure - important for breathing
hydrostatic pressure - keeps blood flowing

A

Pressure

28
Q

Monitors aspects of the internal environment and corrects as needed. Variations are within limits.

A

Homeostatic mechanisms

29
Q

Three parts of homeostatic mechanisms:

provides information about stimuli

A

Receptors

30
Q

Three parts of homeostatic mechanisms:

tess what a particular value should be (set point)

A

Control Center

31
Q

Three parts of homeostatic mechanisms:

elicits response that change conditions in the internal environment

A

Effectors

32
Q

Types of Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

A

Negative & Positive Feedback

33
Q

Which type of Homeostatic Control Mechanism?
Prevents sudden, severe changes in the body
Corrects the set point
Causes opposite of bodily disruption to occur i.e.: the negative
Most common type of feedback loop
Ex: body temperature, blood pressure, and glucose regulation

A

Negative Feedback Mechanism

34
Q

Which type of Homeostatic Control Mechanism?
Increases (accelerates) the actions of the body
Short-lived
Do not require continuous adjustments
Ex: blood clotting and child birth

A

Positive Feedback Mechanism

35
Q
