maintain body temp ourselves

Question 8

preoptic area

Answer 8

brain area in mammal hypothalamus that contains separate warmth and cold sensitive cells

Question 9

hypovolemic thirst

Answer 9

thirst when blood volume drops (due to loss of extracellular water)

Question 10

Osmotic thirst

Answer 10

thirst occuring when fluid content decreases inside the body’s cells (usually happens with hypovolemic thirst)

Question 11

Subfornical organ (SFO)

Answer 11

brain structure adjacent to third ventricle that sense and regulates internal water balance with OVLT

organum vasculosum lamina terminalis (OVLT)

Answer 12

brain structure adjacent to third ventricle that sense and regulates internal water balance with SFO

Question 13

Circumventricular

Answer 13

outiside blood-brain barrier with direct access to blood circulation (SFO and OVLT)

Question 14

Answer 15

brain structure adjacent to third ventricle that integrates info form SFO and OVLT (like the middle man)

Question 16

Angiotensin ll

Answer 16

hormone that informs brain of drop in blood volume (stimulates receptors in SFO and OVLT)

Question 22

sensory-specific satiety

Answer 22

the more you eat it, the less appealing it becomes

end product of fat (digested in the liver)

Question 28

Absorptive phase

Answer 28

hours after a meal when the body lives off the nutrients arriving from the digestive system

Question 29

insulin

Answer 29

enables body cells to take up glucose for energy and to store nutrients

Question 30

diabetes type 1

Answer 30

pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin

Question 31

diabetes type 2

hormone that gets glycogen turned back into glucose

Question 35

Arcuate nucleus (ARC)

Answer 35

master hypothalami centre for food intake control (how we eat, when we eat) (neurons that increase eating behaviour)

Question 36

PON C neurons

Answer 36

decrease eating behaviour (in ARC)

Question 37

Lateral hypothalamus

Answer 37

brain region that initiates eating and controls feeding behaviour and metabolic responses

Question 37

NPY/AgRP neurons

Answer 37

neurons that increase eating behaviour and hunger (in ARC)

Question 38

Orexin

Answer 38

increases eating and increases wakefulness in response to food deprivation

Question 39

Paraventriculare nucleus (PVN)

Answer 41

when stoamche shrinks ghrelin activates

Question 42

Leptin

Answer 42
