Q

What is the feed forward system and what are the benefits or uses of the feed forward system?

A

The feed forward system is designed to prevent any negative feedback mechanisms to occur. It anticipates changes that will occur such as entering a cold atmosphere the feed forward system will trigger your blood vessels to go deeper into the body to prevent heat loss and therefore you begin to look whiter in complexion. This occurs prior to the shivering that one will experience from the negative feedback system.

Q

What are negative feedback systems?

Q

What is the difference between diffusion and active transport?

A

diffusion moves molecules down concentration gradient while active transport takes them against concentration gradient. Simple diffusion is passive, which means it does not require energy, while active transport does.

23
Q

True or False? The set point for body temperature changes across the day.

A

True

24
Q

What does ADP stand for?

A

Adenosine Diphosphate

25
Q

Describe the important differences in the composition of the intracellular and extracellular fluid.

A

The key thing to remember is that sodium and potassium are always opposite and the ICF and ECF are always opposite. If you remember that the sodium concentration is high in the extracellular fluid then you know that the potassium concentration in the extracellular fluid is low (because sodium and potassium are always opposite)
the sodium concentration intracellular fluid is low (because ICF and ECF are always opposite).

26
Q

What percentage of Body water is plasma

A

25% of Extracellular fluid

27
Q

The hydrophilic phosphate heads are in contact with the extra and intracellular fluid.

A

Correct, Hydrophilic phosphate heads are in contact with both extra and intracellular fluids because they love water. Whereas their counterpart lipid are hydrophobic which means they hate water.

28
Q

True or false? Feedforward systems operator to prevent the controlled variable from changing.

A

True

29
Q

What is facilitated diffusion

A

Facilitated diffusion means the aid or help with assisting with diffusion with membrane carriers.

30
Q

What does ATP stand for?

A

Adenosine Triphosphate

31
Q

Blood pressure is the set point regarding control system for blood pressure.

A

False, blood pressure isnt the set point, blood pressure is the controlled variable.

32
Q

True or False? Allowing the controlled variable to move away from the set point always has adverse effects.

A

False.

33
Q

The cell membrane is made up of a single layer of molecules.

A

Incorrect, a Cell membrane is bilayer or duel layer of phospholipids

34
Q

What are the two parts of the Autonomic nervous system?

A

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

35
Q

Does Anaerobic require Oxygen?

A

No

36
Q

Are cell membrane channels are always open.

A

No, Lots of membrane channels are gated channels which means they are not always open, their opening can be controlled.

37
Q

Oxygen carriers are used to move oxygen through the cell membranes - True or False

A

False

38
Q

True or false? Feedforward systems can work at the same time as feedback systems

A

True

39
Q

Does Aerobic require Oxygen?

A

Yes

40
Q

What percentage of Body water is Intercellular Fluid

A

66%

41
Q

What is Interstitial fluid

A

Fluid surrounding around the cell

42
Q

What are the two types of reactions produce ATP?

A

Aerobic and Anaerobic

43
Q

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding the control system for blood pressure?

The blood pressure is the set point.

The controller is in the medulla oblongata.

The efferent pathway is the autonomic nervous system.

The controlled variable is changed by altering the diameter of arterioles.

A

The blood pressure is the set point.

44
Q

How many phosphate molecules are in ATP

A

Three

45
Q

List the control system components in the correct order

A

Sensor, afferent pathway, controller, efferent pathway, effector

46
Q

True or False? Fever is not an example of Hyperthermia

A

True

47
Q

The effectors include the heart and the blood vessels

A

True

48
Q

Facilitated diffusion moves ions against their concentration gradient - True or False

A

False

49
Q

What is the difference between channels and carriers in the cell membrane?

A

Channel proteins transport substances down the concentration gradient, while carrier proteins transport substances both down and against the concentration gradient. Channel proteins form pores crossing the membrane, thus allowing the target molecules or ions to pass through them by diffusion, without interaction.

50
Q

The efferent pathway is the autonomic nervous system

A

True.

51
Q

The controller for the blood pressure control system is in the medulla ablongata

A

True, it is located at the stem of the brain posterially.

52
Q

True or False? Fever is caused by a change in the set point for body temperature.

A

False

53
Q

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? A. The water content is the same in all tissues. B. Most of the water in the body is inside cells. C. Water represents 50-60% of body weight in most people. D. The interstitial fluid is the largest component of extracellular fluid.

A

A: The Water content is the same in all tissues is INCORRECT

54
Q

What percentage of Body water is Interstitial fluid

A

75% of Extracellular fluid

55
Q

True or false? Feedforward systems can work in opposite ways to negative feedback systems.

A

True

56
Q

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

Fever is not an example of hyperthermia.

The set point for body temperature changes across the day.

Fever is caused by a change in the set point for body temperature.

Allowing the controlled variable to move away from the set point always has adverse effects.

A

Allowing the controlled variable to move away from the set point always has adverse effects.

57
Q

What is the cell membrane potential?

A

Ions cannot pass directly through the cell membrane. Each ion has its own gated channel. Sodium and Potassium are always opposite to each other in Extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid.
