Q

Define vasodilation.

A

The wideing of the blood vessel as a result of the relation of the blood vessel’s muscular walls and the blood flow is faster.

20
Q

Define vasoconstriction

A

The narrowing of blood vessels by small muscles in the walls l and its blood flow is slower.

21
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: the blood vessels change positions.

A

False, It doesn’t.

22
Q

The point of the narrowing and widening of the blood vessels is to..

A

Regulate the body’s temperature.

23
Q

What happens to the skin during overheat?

A

The hypothalamus reroute blood to the skin’s periphery which causes the body to sweat to cool down.

24
Q

What happens to the skin during overcool?

A

Peripheral vasoconstriction can limit heat loss while constricted vessels retain warmth.

25
TRUE OR FALSE: the endocrine is fast.
False, it is slow.
26
What type of signals does the endocrine system use?
Chemical signals.
27
TRUE OR FALSE: the nervous system controls all glands
False, the endocrine controls all glands directly.
28
TRUE OR FALSE: the endocrine is physically disconnected.
True.
29
Where does the endocrine move?
The endocrine moves through the bloodstream.

What was the pituitary gland cycle called?
A negative feedback.
40
Define the negative feedback.
Negative feedback is the result of a reaction is reduced to bring the system back to a stable state.
41
How much it may take the endocrine system to send a message?
2 hours.
42
Negative feedback can help..
Maintain environment.
43
What’s a positive feedback?
Positive feedback is the result of a reaction increased to bring the system back to a stable state.
44
How’s the body’s temperature regulated?
by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus.
