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.

22
Q

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

23
Q

Three components of Negative Feedback:

A

Receptor
Control center
Effector

Q

Three components of Negative Feedback:

A

Receptor
Control center
Effector

25
Monitors the value of the variable.
Receptor
26
Monitors the value of the variable.
Receptor
27
Establishes the set point around which the variable is maintained.
Control Center
28
Establishes the set point around which the variable is maintained.
Control center
29
Can change the value of the variable.
Effector
30
When the activation of one component leads to the activation of another, the interaction between the components is said to be
Positive feedback
31
Increases the change.
Positive
32
Occurs when the initial stimulus further stimulates the response.
Positive feedback
33
The deviation from the set point becomes even greater.
Positive feedback
