Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The control system of homeostasis is separated into two categories based on whether the system amplifies the stimulus in the same direction or it maintains the variable in normal range in the opposite direction. The two types of feedback control include positive feedback and negative feedback respectively.

- In the absence of any environmental cues, a circadian rhythm is said to bea. entrained.b. in phase.c. free running.d. phase-shifted.e. no longer present.arrow_forwardThe release of a neurotransmitter from a terminal button produces an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) in the postsynaptic neuron. What is the most likely mechanism by which this occurs? A. the neurotransmitter opens chemically activated chloride channels B. the neurotransmitter activates a second messenger which then opens calcium channels C. the neurotransmitter is glutamate D. the neurotransmitter acts on a G-protein linked receptor which opens sodium channelsarrow_forwardThe reflex arc is the fastest way the body has to move a body part from danger or away from the source of pain. Have you ever noticed your own reflex response? Did you notice that you felt the pain after you yanked your hand away from the source of pain? Which is the sequence of structures involved in a reflex response? a. motor neurons → effectors → brain → sensory neurons → interneurons b. effectors → sensory neurons → brain → motor neurons c. sensory neurons → interneurons → motor neurons → effectors d. sensory neurons → motor neurons → interneurons → effectorsarrow_forward
- Which of the following evolutionary adaptations would result in an increase in the speed of conduction of action potentials by increasing the membrane resistance of the axon? a. increasing the number of channels in the plasma membrane b. placing all voltage-gated ion channels at distant intervals |c. myelinating the axon d. increasing the diameter of the axon e. decreasing the number of channels in the membrane.arrow_forwardSome researchers hypothesize that activity in certain regions of the brain represents the subjective value of an object being considered (meaning that the activity level in the brain region corresponds to how valuable the object is). (a) name a brain region that might represent the subjective value of an object being considered, such as a donut, and explain a research finding that supports your answer. (b) name a general factor that would influence the response of this brain region when a person views the donut (and state whether it would increase activity in the brain region or decrease it)arrow_forwardTaste buds are sensory receptors for taste located on the tongue. When a person eats a spicy food, receptors on the tongue pick up a stimulus. The stimulus initiates the movement of ions across the membrane. If the threshold level is reached, an action potential is generated and a signal is sent to the brain telling the brain that the food is spicy. The reason that some individuals have a higher tolerance to spicy food than others is due to a difference in the a. duration of the refractory period b. number of Na+/K+ ion exchange pumps c. strength of the stimulus d. threshold levelarrow_forward
- Describe the passage of information through the nervous system using a specific example.Be sure to include in detail: A.The collection of stimuli at the sense organ and receptors involved as well as graded potential. B.The passing of the impulse along ascending pathways. C.Location in the brain that processes the information. D.Sending out motor information from brain. E.The passing of the impulse down descending pathways. F.Response by a skeletal muscle.arrow_forwardBelow are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a.The flippers of sea lions allow them to adapt to marine life despite their ancestors being land creatures. b.In Biology, the concept of “Form fits Function” is applicable to both living and non-living organisms. c.Caffeine tricks the body into staying awake by binding to adenosine receptors. They can bind to these receptors because of the similarity in their structure.arrow_forwardSingle cell recordings in the dorsal stream (parietal areas) tell us about the mechanisms involved in action control. All of the following is true, EXCEPT: a. All listed here are correct b. Neurons in different parietal areas support the link between gaze-centered neurons area to the body-centered neurons c. Some neurons signal whether to move eyes and some neurons signal whether to move hands d. Some neurons in the anterior intraparietal area respond to 3D shapes that vary in size/orientation, but not to 2D shapes e. Some neurons respond based on the position of an object in relation to the hand f. Neurons in the parietal cortex are allocentric and they exhibit activity that reflects learned movementsarrow_forward

Neural circuits in sensory systems are always convergent. c. The neural representation of sensory input is an exact replica of the physical world. d. The neural representation of sensory input emphasizes some sensory qualities over others. e. Each neuron must be optimized to code both resolution and sensitivityarrow_forwardImagine that you decide to make a move. To make this decision, neurons in your brain's cerebral cortex (neuron A) fire nerve impulses that are sent to neurons in the spinal cord (neuron B). Neuron B then sends a signal to the muscle cells, causing them to contract, resulting in movement.a. In which part of the brain is neuron A located? and Explain your answer!b. Explain how the signal from neuron A is transmitted to neuron B and which part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is involved in this pathway!arrow_forwardA neurotransmitter called "GABA" decreases the rate of action potential generation in neurons, but the effect can be overridden by excitatory neurotransmitters.
