Test One Flashcards
where does the IV go
x axis
where does the DV go
y axis
what is homeostasis
the maintenance of a constant and “normal” internal environment
what is a steady state
consistancy
balance between demands placed on body and the bodys response to those demands
what are examples of steady state
98.6 f
120/90
what on a graph represents a steady state
plateau
how fast can you reach a steady state for heart and breathing rate
about 2 to 3 min
what are some examples the intracellular controls systems
protein breakdown and synthesis, energy production, maintenance of stored nutrients
what organ systems show control systems of the body
pulmonary and circulatory
what system has the largest gain
aerobic
what is a biological control system
series of interconnected components that maintain a physical or chemical parameter at a near constant value
what are the components of a biological control system
sensor or receptor, control center, and effector
what does the sensor or receptor do in the biological control system
detects changes in variable
what does the control center do in the biological control system
assesses input and initiates response
what does the effector do in the biological control system
changes internal environment back to normal
what is negative feedback
response reverses the initial disturbance in homeostasis
what feedback loop do most control systems use
negative
what is positive feedback
response increases the original stimulus
how to increase gain of system
training
what is gain of a control system
degree to which a control system maintains homeostasis
system with large gain is more capable of…
maintaining homeostasis than systems with low gain
what systems have large gains
pulmonary and cardiovascular
what are some examples of homeostatic control
regulation of body temp and regulation of blood glucose
what happens in a failure of any component of a control system
results in a disturbance of homeostasis.
