21
Q

▪ Determines set point

▪ Analyzes information

▪ Determines appropriate response

A

Control center

22
Q

▪ Provides a means for response to the stimulus

▪ Information flows from control center to effector along efferent pathway

23
Q

2 Feedback Mechanisms

A

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP

POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP

24
Q

If a response REVERSES the original stimulus

A

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP

25
If a response ENCHANCES the original stimulus
POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP
26
* Includes most homeostatic control mechanisms | * Serves to maintain a ‘normal’ status of a variable
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP
27
• Correcting the damage/injury
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP
28
• Whenever a change occurs in a system, the change automatically causes a ____ to start, which reverses the original change and brings the system back to normal
corrective mechanism
29
feedback loop that responds to bring levels (high or too low) back to normal
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP
30
ORGANS WILL COORDINATE WITH THE DAMAGE:
Nervous system | Endocrine system
31
t&cf were sends to the injured site (from Bone Marrow)
Thrombosis and Clothing Factor
32
When will adrenal gland be stimulated?
abnormality or stressors
33
2 CATECHOLAMINES
Epinephrine | Norepinephrine
34
In adrenal glands, any will automatically be stimulated to tell the body there is something wrong?
Yes. Any stressors
35
3 HORMONES IN THE ADRENAL CORTEX | C, A, T
Cortisol Aldosterone Testosterone (Estrogen)
36
produce glucose
Cortisol
37
order the kidney tubules to reabsorb sodium | where sodium is, water follows
Aldosterone
38
main hormones in male gender responsible in the development of secondary sexual characteristics
Testosterone
39
main hormones in female gender
Estrogen
40
There is a specific hormone for a specific stressor (TRUE or FALSE)
TRUE
41
end product of metabolism
Carbon dioxide
42
PANCREAS RELEASES
INSULIN
43
GLUCOSE FROM THE FOOD THAT WE EAT CAN ONLY ENTER FROM ___
INSULIN
44
If the glucose cannot enter the cell, it stays in the blood which called (high blood sugar)
hyperglycemia
45
Overdosed, insulin will bring all glucose or sugar into the cell or it will enter your cells (low blood sugar)
hypoglycemia
46
Do not require continuous adjustments Does not maintain homeostasis
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
47
it amplifies responses and processes, moving the system further and further away from starting conditions
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
48
3 Hormones produced by the Adrenal Cortex (SSS)
sugar salt sex
49
sugar
cortisol
50
salt
aldosterone
51
sex
testosterone
