Homeostasis

Question 1

Homeostasis

Answer 1

Maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment

Question 2

Intracellular control systems

Answer 2

Communicate between specific or individual cells, only 1 cell

Question 3

Organ systems

Answer 3

Communicate primarily through hormone release. Composed of three elements (sensor or receptor, control center, effector)

Question 4

Sensor

Answer 4

Detects change in the variablein question

Question 5

Control Center

Answer 5

Analyzes the singl from the sensor and relays information

Question 6

Effector

Answer 6

Elicit the appropriate response to correct the disturbance

Question 7

Negative Feedback (Give Example)

Answer 7

Response reverses the initial disturbance in homeostasis (Increase in extracellular CO2 triggers a receptor)

Question 8

Positive Feedback (Give example)

Answer 8

Response increases the original stimulus (EX: Child Birth)

Question 9

Adaptation

Answer 9

Improvement in the structure/ functions of a cell or organ to better deal with stress

Question 10

Acclimatization

Answer 10

Physiological adjustments due to repeated exposure to extreme natural environments

Question 11

Acclimation

Answer 11

Physiological adjustments due to repeated exposure to extreme unnatural environments

Question 12

Stress proteins

Answer 12

Synthesized by cells when homeostasis is disrupted
