Select the 4 statements that correctly describe positive feedback pathways.
A sensor/receptor is required to monitor and limit levels.
A sensor/receptor is unnecessary to monitor and limit levels.
Feedback prevents homeostasis.
Feedback contributes to homeostasis.
Feedback stimulates the effector to continue to do the same thing.
Feedback stops the effector from doing one thing and stimulates it to do the opposite.
When the target level for a hormone is reached, feedback results in a reduction of that hormone being released.
When a target level for a hormone is reached, feedback results in an increase of that hormone being released.
A negative feedback system is one in which
a variable is changed in the same direction as the original change that initiated the system
the initiating variable is always reduced (made more negative)
a variable is changed in the opposite direction to the original change that initiated the system
two opposing variables are played against one other
the initiating variable is always increased (made more positive)
Which is an example of negative feedback?
lowering of blood glucose after a meal
blood clotting after an injury
lactation during nursing
uterine contractions during labor
nausea leading to vomiting

- Identify if the statement is True or False. If the statement is false, identify what is incorrect and correct it. The Endocrine system secretes regulatory hormones important for growth, reproduction and metabolism. The digestive system breaks down food, allows for nutrient absorption into blood and eliminates indigestible materials Extrinsic regulation results from activity of nervous system or endocrine system.

Explain the relationship between a regulated physiological variable and its setpoint. Is the physiological variable exactly at its setpoint? Compare and contrast negative and positive feedback. Give a biological example of each. Is the setpoint constant or can it change over time? If setpoints can change over time, what is this called? Chapter 2:arrow_forward
- create your own diagram by illustrating how the positive and negative feedback mechanism works. You should use specific condition in the body like (temperature regulation, osmotic balance and glucose levels).

Once released, it then stimulates the anterior pituitary gland causing it to release thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then stimulates the thyroid gland to release the hormones T3 and T4. T3 and T4 have two main effects. First, they increase overall metabolism. Secondly, T3 and T4 can bind to these receptors on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, inhibiting the production of TRH and TSH respectively.arrow_forward
