Q

This type of transport requires the use of ATP.

A

Active

17
Q

This type of transport is determined by saturation kinetics –unequal concentration at the end.

A

Active

18
Q

This type of transport is determined by linear kinetics –more stuff means more transport.

A

Diffusion

19
Q

This type of transport is determined by saturation kinetics – equal concentration at the end.

A

Active

20
Q

What things are regulated by homeostasis?

A
body temperature
body fluid composition
body fluid volume
waste product concentration
blood pressure.
21
Q

If a regulated variable has a normal range, this means that it’s regulated by ___.

A

homeostasis

22
Q

This is a method of sensing a change in a regulated variable and responding to it.

A

Reflex arc

23
Q

What are the steps to a reflex arc?

A

receptor –> afferent pathway –> integrator –> efferent pathway -> effector

24
Q

What does the receptor do in a reflex arc?

A

It notices a change and responds to it by sending a signal down the afferent pathway.

25
Q

What does the integrator do in a reflex arc?

A

It interprets the signal from the receptor and formulates an appropriate signal for the efferent pathway.

26
Q

What does the afferent pathway do in a relax arc?

A

It carries the signal to the integrator.

27
Q

What does an effector do in a reflex arc?

A

It responds to the change to restore homeostasis.

28
Q

What does the efferent pathway do in a reflex arc?

A

It carries the signal from the integrator to the effector.

29
Q

This type of feedback loop is where downward deviation results in a positive upward stimulus, or vice versa.

A

Negative

30
Q

This type of feedback loop where upward deviation results in a positive upward stimulus, or vice versa.

A

Positive

31
Q

Reflex arcs can be ___, ___, or both, which is called ___.

A

Neural, hormonal, neuroendocrine

32
Q

Blood pressure is an example of a ___ reflex arc.

A

Neural

33
Q

When blood pressure is too high, the integrator is the ___.

A

medulla oblongata

34
Q

The ___ make up the afferent pathway when blood pressure rises, awhile the ___ make up the efferent pathway.

A

nerves, cardiac nerves

35
Q

The ___ is the receptor when blood pressure gets too high.

A

aorta

36
Q

Glucose being too high is an example of a ___ reflex arc.

A

hormonal

37
Q

Childbirth is an example of a ___ reflex arc.

A

neuroendocrine

38
Q

Typically, the first part of a neuroendocrine reflex arc is ___ and the second is ___.

A

neural, hormonal
