Question 33

Homeostasis

Answer 33

"same,standing still" maintenance of a constant internal environment, balance, dynamic equilibrum

Question 34

to maintain Homeostasis need:

Answer 34

nutrients, oxygen, water, body temp 98.6 F

Question 35

2 ways to maintain Homeostasis

Answer 35

Negative feedback | Positive feedback

Question 36

Negative feedback

Answer 36

"Output inhibits input" ; most hormones, maintenance of body temp, blood pressure

Question 37

Negative feedback example

Answer 37

input=temp outside stimulus=bocy temp increases sensory receptor=notify the brain of the change in body temp. central nevous system=receives info, turns of effector(sweat glands) motor nerve=carries message to sweat glands to produce sweat. effector=sweat gland releases sweat as long as the motor nerve tells it to do so.

Question 38

Positive feedback

Answer 38

"Output enhances input"; blood clotting using platelets, oxytocin in child birth, chronic heart failure CHF

Question 39

Positive feedback example

Answer 39

Child birth labor stimulus: baby's head pushes against cervix sensory receptor: notifies the brain central nervous system: the brain(pituitary gland) releases a hormone/neurotransmitter Oxytocin Motor output=Oxytocin's target organ in the uterus, it promotes contractions to push the baby out. more stimuli to brain, the more oxytocin produced to promote uterine contractions, continues until baby is born.
