Question
Positive feedback mechanisms to drive homeostasis are more common than negative feedback
mechanisms.
A. True
B. False
Cholesterol is a waxy, organic substance found in body cells and in blood. The human
body uses cholesterol to make cell membranes, vitamin D, hormones, and bile (a liver
product). There are two major types of cholesterol, both produced by the liver. What is
the typical path that dietary cholesterol (cholesterol we get from food) takes through the
digestive system, from the mouth to where it is absorbed into the bloodstream?
A. Mouth → Esophagus → Pharynx
B. Mouth → Pharynx → Esophagus → Small intestine → Stomach
С. Mouth —
D. Mouth
Small intestine → Stomach
→ Stomach –→ Small intestine
> Pharynx
Pharynx → Esophagus
→ Esophagus -
→ Stomach
Small intestine
