57
Q

What are the five maintenance of life?

A
  • Water
  • Food
  • Oxygen
  • Heat
  • Pressure
58
Q
  • most abundant substance in body (2/3 75%)
  • required for metabolic processes
  • required for transport of substances
  • regulates body temperature
59
Q
  • provides necessary nutrients
  • supplies energy
  • supplies raw materials
60
Q
  • one-fifth of air
  • used to release energy from nutrients
  • catalyst
  • for combustion
61
Q
  • form of energy

- partly controls rate of metabolic reactions

62
Q
  • application of force on an object
63
Q

Pressure that is important for breathing

A

Atmospheric pressure

64
Q

It keeps the blood flowing

A

hydrostatic pressure

65
Q

is the existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body.

A

Homeostasis

66
Q

Our average body temperature is ___ degrees Fahrenheit.

67
Q

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

A

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

68
Q
  • provides information about the stimuli

- monitors the value of a variable such as body temperature

69
Q
  • tells what a particular value should be (called the set point)
  • such as part of the brain, which establishes the set point around which the variable is maintained through communication with the receptors and effectors
A

Control Center

70
Q
  • elicits responses that change conditions in the internal environment
  • such as sweat glands, which can adjust the value of the variable, usually back toward the set point.
71
Q

Two types of feedback mechanism

A
  • Negative feedback mechanisms

* Positive feedback mechanisms

72
Q

any deviation from the set point is made smaller or is resisted

A

• Negative feedback mechanisms

73
Q
  • 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
  • Examples: body temperature, blood pressure & glucose regulation
A

• Negative feedback mechanisms

74
Q

occur when a response to the original stimulus results in the deviation from the set point becoming even greater.

A

• Positive feedback mechanisms

75
Q
  • Increases (accelerates) the actions of the body
  • short-lived
  • do not require continuous adjustments
  • Examples: blood clotting and child birth
A

• Positive feedback mechanisms

76
Q

Why is changed variable is a stimulus?

A

because it initiates a homeostatic mechanism.
