Describe if each of the following mechanisms is regulated by positive or
negative feedback.
neanive
1. When you are hot, you sweat and your blood vessels dilate.
As your body cools, you sweat less your blood vessels return to normal.
2. When blood clots, more and more platelets rush to the area
3. When a baby is born, the uterus contracts more often and
more forcefully until the baby is born.
4. Blood sugar is regulated by insulin. As blood
sugar returns
to normal, less insúlin is produced.
5.When you are cold, your blood vessels constrict and your
muscles shiver. As your body returns to normal, you cease shivering and your
blood vessels restore normal blood flow.
6.After pregnancy, the suckling of an infant causes an
increase in milk production.
A male has lost blood as a result of a gunshot wound. Even though thebleeding has been stopped, his blood pressure is low and dropping,and his heart rate is elevated. Following a blood transfusion, his bloodpressure increases and his heart rate decreases. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) consistent with these observations?a. Negative-feedback mechanisms can be inadequate without medical intervention.b. The transfusion interrupted a positive-feedback mechanism.c. The increased heart rate after the gunshot wound and before thetransfusion is a result of a positive-feedback mechanism.d. a and be. a, b, and c
Which of the basic life processes—metabolism, responsiveness, movement, growth, differentiation, and reproduction, is referred to by the following descriptions?
1. For animals with three germ layers, the mesoderm forms skeletal muscle, bone, connective tissue, the heart, and the urogenital system.
2. Putting strain on the muscles through working out results in an increase in muscle fibers.Having more muscle fibers will lead to greater strength and muscle size.
