Q

Major goals of physiology is to:

A

Understand and predict the body’s responses to

Understand how the body maintains conditions within a narrow range of values in the presence of continually changing internal and external environments.

Q

a stimulus because it initiates homeostatic mechanisms

A

Change variable

17
Q

Negative feedback

A

If the activation of one component results in the inactivation of another, it is labeled as negative.

18
Q

Reverses the change and bring things back to normal

A

Negative feedback

19
Q

If the activation of one component results in the inactivation of another, it is labeled as

A

Negative/Negative feedback

20
Q

If the activation of one component results in the inactivation of another, it is labeled as

A

Negative/Negative feedback

21
Q

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

A

Negative

22
Q

does not prevent variation but maintains variation within a normal range.

A

Negative

23
Q

Three components of Negative Feedback:

A

Receptor
Control center
Effector

25
Q

Monitors the value of the variable.

A

Receptor

26
Q

Monitors the value of the variable.

A

Receptor

27
Q

Establishes the set point around which the variable is maintained.

A

Control Center

28
Q

Establishes the set point around which the variable is maintained.

A

Control center

29
Q

Can change the value of the variable.

A

Effector

30
Q

When the activation of one component leads to the activation of another, the interaction between the components is said to be

A

Positive feedback

31
Q

Increases the change.

A

Positive

32
Q

Occurs when the initial stimulus further stimulates the response.

A

Positive feedback

33
Q

The deviation from the set point becomes even greater.

A

Positive feedback
